BYU Cougars
Current record 6-2
Note: The Cougars have a real bye week this week. There won't be any funky upsets this year. But the week off can be scary for fans. Last time there was a bye week around Halloween, BYU lost a couple of players to suspension and dismissal. Stay away from the donut shop, you Cougars.
Predicted wins:
San Jose State
Fresno State
Toss Up:
Missouri
Utah State
Optimistic prediction: 10-2
Pessimistic prediction: 8-4
Post-season: Vegas
Utah Utes
Current Record 6-1
Note: If Utah was going to lose a game and stay in the playoff chase, that was the game to lose. They drop to 13. Teams ranked ahead of them will lose. Utah will move up, provided they keep winning. Of course, we all thought the Utes would win this one.
Oregon State
Washington
Arizona
Colorado
Toss Up:
UCLA
Optimistic prediction: 11-1
Pessimistic prediction: 10-2
This week's game:
Gary Anderson seems to have Utah's number, but that number will not be up this year. Oregon State doesn't have the talent to run with anyone in the PAC-12 this year.
Utah 45 OSU 10
Post-Season:
PAC-12 championship vs. Stanford, probably a NY-6 Bowl, Rose Bowl if they win.
Utah State Aggies
Current Record 4-3
Note: Perhaps the Aggies were reading this blog last week. I think that we all thought that they would breeze through the conference schedule, including SDSU. Well, that is where I was wrong.
Predicted Wins
Wyoming
New Mexico
Nevada
Toss Up
Air Force
BYU
Optimistic Prediction: 9-3
Pessimistic Prediction: 7-5
This week's game:
Yea, there is a reason why the play the game. There is a reason why they play the game. There is a reason why they play the game...
USU 45 Wyo 16
Post Season: Poinsettia Bowl
Southern Utah Thunderbirds
Current Record 5-2
Cal Poly
Northern Arizona
Toss Up
Montana State
Portland State
Optimistic Prediction 9-2
Pessimistic Prediction 7-4
This week's game
It not going to be so easy for SUU the rest of the season. Hopefully, they have not forgotten how to fight. But they haven't been in a close game since that opening night in Logan. This game should be a fight.
SUU 24 CPSLO 14
Post Season: SUU will need to win 3 of their remaining 4 games to get into the post-season. If they win the right three games, they may get to host a first round game.
Weber State Wildcats
Current Record: 4-4
Notes: It's still a rag-tag team in Ogden, and it's a team that has already exceeded most expectations.
Predicted Wins:
UC Davis
Idaho State
Predicted Loss:
Eastern Washington
Expected Outcome: 6-5
This week's game:
The #5 Eagles are not easy to beet in Cheney, even for a team more highly reguarded than Weber State. The team has no reason to hang their heads. And they might catch those guys looking past them. Might.
EWU 45 WSU 21
There will likely be no post-season for WSU.
