Is BYU good this year? Is Sitake catching teams on a down year? Are they lucky?
So throwing out the game against BYU their opponents records are:
Arizona 2-3 (W)
Utah 4-1 (L)
UCLA 2-3 (L)
West Virginia 3-0 (L)
Toledo 4-0 (W)
Mich St 2-2 (W)
Miss St 2-3 (W)
Overall their opponents records are 23-16, Utah, West Virginia and Toledo skew this. Toledo may be their best win.
By the end of the year I think all the teams they’ve played will trend down with more losses than they had half way through the season. I could see their opponents overall just a shade under 500. Miss St, Arizona, and Mich St probably won’t make a bowl game. Utah, Toledo, and West Virginia should make bowl games. And UCLA may make a bowl game. So their best win may be against Toledo.
I think they were kind of lucky to catch Mich St, and Miss St in down years. Arizona, always seems to lose games they should win. Worst loss, is to UCLA, strange to say.
