Polls are going to be meaningless this year. There are going to be so many starts and stops for so many teams it's going to be tough to see who's good and who's not.

It's good to see ESPN jump on-board with my prediction that this year is the best chance in a long time for the Cougars to go undefeated. This power ranking lists them as the most likely team to go undefeated. 8)

I think 22 is a realistic spot for BYU to be at. No reason to expect more.

Wait, I thought La Tech was suppose to be a decent team. #98 doesn't come off as decent.

I really hope BYU can get Boise State on the schedule and maybe one of the 2 BIG10 teams they were suppose to play as well in November.

So Hair Thompson alluded to the possibility of the game, and Holmo suggested it might happen. They both suggested that Boise could be the team on the 7th of November, that paired schedule wise with Air Force, could play BYU that same weekend. It seems odd that Air Force can have 2 NC games and the rest of the conference wouldn't likewise have that option. Let's get-ter done!

Funny that before the season began, I heard at least 2 individuals in sports media suggest that Western Kentucky possibly was the most challenging team. Reality arrived I guess.

There is one P5 snob voter who does not have BYU ranked at all.
