BYUs schedule is garbage. We play the #1 Go5 team, and have a chance to get to the #1 spot in a few weeks.

I think if navy hadn't laid an egg then they wouldn't be picked as a top candidate. However, we just need to focus the one game at a time. Tulane demolished USM at their stadium in which USM beat NTCC fairly easily, albeit not the same margin as us. Tulane and Houston game will give us a better picture of what we are up against and I hope we are able to plan around our top WR and one of the starting RBs being out.

BYU's schedule is garbage, but they have looked like a fantastic, physical football team.

Cincy has a great defense. I'm not sure the offense is quite there against upper end teams.

BYU has played a 'meh' schedule so far but it's about to pick up.

They've put Houston, SDSU, and Boise State on the schedule - need the 'cougs to come through for us on that one.

The Cougars are definitely winning that one! :lol:
