I really love the way BYU plays football and I hope they continue their strong performances as they get into the heart of Big12 conference play.

They don't really "deserve" to drop from last week, but taking a pit stop when other teams are starting to punch in their first big wins means you might get lapped temporarily.

They are dropping on their bye week as teams above have improved their resumes with much stronger wins

Bye week, nothing really to add. Last Week: #13

764 | 3-0

Best 3 Wins: Arizona, Colorado State, Utah Tech

BYU continues to be extremely annoying to rank because they're good enough that you don't want to leave them out, but I'm not convinced they're actually better than most of the teams around them. They're undefeated, the offense has been productive, and the resume is bad. That's basically the entire argument. I could put them 12th. I could put them 20th. Nobody could convince me either choice is obviously wrong.

BYE

No quality wins and only 3-0 due to the early bye. But only 1 close game

BYU has played only 3 games and they've all been against nobodies. I like the Cougars and think they're a good team, but it's hard to rank them higher without any proof. Especially when my perception is that this BYU team is what it is, and won't change much over the season. It's a good team, so that's not necessarily a bad thing, but the games against Arizona and CSU make me think it's not a great team. Definitely top-20 material but I'll need to see a lot more to move them up.

Just want to make a note, damn they rose quickly it feels like.

Didn't play, so just keep them here.

Bye week. No movement.

v1 (Probably a little speculative considering their best win is a close one over Arizona, but they were dominant over Colorado State, and seem like the best team in the Big 12)

Another team I just can’t grasp

Tier 3.

3-0, bye week

honestly team looks really good.

Played nobody and unfortunately their qb wears a funky number but there’s not rlly a good reason to put them lower

(42.79, -10) Early season BYE week sees the Cougars drop a bit, since points are cumulative. Road trip to TCU is next.
