1. I am no analyst like Kittic
2. I acknowledge YBrit's insight that UTEP's preparation and school situation helps the Miners.
3. I am just having some fun with the numbers.
Both teams are 6-6, and both teams have 1 home loss & 1 road win.
BYU's Sagarin rating is 55. UTEP's Sagarin rating is 112.
The following is a list for each school of wins & losses to teams based on the opponent sagarin & margin of victory or loss.

#7 Arkansas by 37
#52 Tulsa by 3
#86 Houston by 30
#108 Marshall by 4

#161 New Mexico State by 32
#168 New Mexico by 18
#176 Memphis by 3
#126 Rice by 20
#216 Arkansas Pine Bluff by 21

#127 UNLV by 48
#128 CSU by 39
#168 New Mexico by 33
Our common opponent is New Mexico: We won by 33--UTEP won by 18
5 BYU losses were to teams in the Sagarin top 40 (the Utah State loss is the 1 that pains me the most)
Our worst margin of loss was to TCU by 28--UTEP has 2 losses of 30 or greater (Houston by 30 is ranked #86)
BYU beat 2 bowl bound teams--both ranked higher than SMU (UTEP's only victory over a bowl team)
BYU's 1 home loss was to a honest-to-goodness top 20 team--UTEP's home loss was to #136 Tulane.
I think the Cougars roll the miners, chew them up and spit them out. Cougs by at least 20 points.
