Utah picked 1st in Big 12 media poll

As the resident zoob fan on here, that’s about where I expect BYU to finish. We play the top 5 teams, so brutal schedule. They need to win their home games if they have any chance of winning 4 conference games. Who knows, maybe I’ll be surprised like the basketball season when we were picked 13 and finished 5th.

Utah is definitely top 3, but let’s see what plays out and how missing a full year will factor into qb play.

My thoughts: If OSU’s RB takes a step back with all his legal stuff or if he misses conference games, I could see OSU dropping hard. Their QB isn’t good enough to carry them.

And 11-16 (Colorado through ASU)…those teams are all toss ups. Injuries here or there and all of those teams could win 6-7 or 1 game.

Same with UCF. I see them as the Utah of our early rise. They start of 8-0 or 7-1 and then injuries catch up to them and they finish off with a one win OCT/NOV. They just need depth.

I think the media got it right, not necessarily with where the ranking is end of season. But what it should be today and knowing what we know.

It’s kinda astounding that ASU is where it is as a program. They are almost the anti-Utah, a school that just can’t gets its act together athletically.

The two most intriguing to me are Colorado and UCF I could see them both exceeding or not meeting expectations.

I just hope the team has a chip on their shoulder attitude going in, and isn’t buying their own hype.

I hope they mean to make the skeptics in the Big 12 their bitches.
