BYU has been on a great trajectory these past several seasons. The Cougars just barely missed the Big 12 Championship in 2024 and made it in 2025 but lost to Texas Tech. 2026 feels like the year that BYU makes the leap and wins the Big 12 Championship and subsequently secures a CFP bid. The Big 12 has never been more wide open and BYU has been one of the most steady teams in the conference during the offseason. I explain why BYU will win the Big 12 in this video. The video can be viewed with the link: https://youtu.be/QE3mdI1G5YE?is=yDRE2GqaqODDlhpm Give it a watch and let me know what you think. Have a great day and Go Cougars!

That is some good news! Hopefully he can recover and have a baller season.

Hey everyone,

I’m a BYU fan from Europe and I was wondering if there are some cool ways you guys support BYU in an online space on gamedays/during the season? Obviously my time zone is so different from you guys’ but I’d love to join some watch-alongs and stuff if they are thing?

Anyways, happy to be here and Go Cougs!

What's up everyone! Much like a lot of other schools I decided to make a video of BYU in Sunday Night football player introductions through the years. BYU has had some beasts through the years. Hope everyone enjoys. The link is below!

The NCAA Division I Cabinet unanimously approved the organization’s age-based eligibility proposal

Should BYU be concerned about unintended consequences of limited eligibility for returned missionaries? I get this is to make sure college students are actually playing college games, but wouldn't this remove 2 years of eligibility for a 2 year mission?

I’m sure some of you listen to Pardon My Take as it is the biggest sports podcast. Today’s episode featured Roger Bennet talking about the World Cup.

He mused on which traditions from the WC might catch on in American sports. The two examples:

Will Minnesota Vikings fans start doing the rowing thing Denmark does?

Will BYU fans start cleaning stadiums after games?

I thought it was a funny shoutout but definitely something I could see happening.

I would schedule Utah State the first game of every year instead of a FCS game. I want that rivalry back. I would schedule the Utes the last game of the season.

After multiple requests to delay the trial, the judge dismissed the case.

Yall I just remembered the song “Gimme a B” (about BYU football) the other day and I found one singular recording of it on YouTube and otherwise it seems like it’s lost media. Am I crazy does anyone else remember this song? And if you do does anyone have the lyrics? I want to write them down to preserve them, but I can’t understand all the words in the rap verses on the recording 😭😭😭

I’ve gathered that it’s by the Y’z Guys and from 1993 supposedly.

How we feeling about Jojo and Kyler? I want to be a Tiger fan, but seems like the dude is distracted with flying airplanes and other hobbies. Don’t remember much from Tei other than his last name gives me hope.

Feeling nervous that we’re hoping and praying some true freshmen come save the day again this year.

Or we really gonna see the TEs save our passing game?

- Jack Kelly drafted by the Giants

- Carsen Ryan drafted by the Browns

- Mory Bamba signed with the Jets

- Will Ferrin signed with the Jets

- Chase Roberts signed with the Raiders

- Garrison Grimes signed with the Jets

- Mory Bamba signed with the Jets

- Tanner Wall signed with the Raiders

So awesome for our guys!

At different points in time, BYU QBs have had 5 of the top 6 and 6 of the top 10 passing seasons in NCAA history. Some great QBs in this video I made.

Just saw that the date of the Iowa game got changed to a Friday night (10/9). This got me wondering when single tix will go on sale. We live out of state so don’t really find it reasonable to buy season tickets. Really hope to go to the ND game and flights into Provo are reasonably priced now, but don’t want to buy those if there is no way I’m going to get tix to the game. I know there is always the secondary market, but trying to avoid this markup on those. I’m totally fine sitting nosebleed, I just love the vibe in LES. 😊

Bill Connelly's SP+ rankings are out with post-transfer portal returning production stats, so it's time to look at the schedule for the coming season. Here are the lines using SP+ and weighting for home field advantage (3 points, which is pretty standard).

The schedule looks amazing with a projected record of 9.1 wins and 2.9 losses. The games break into the following tiers:

Underdogs: Notre Dame
Toss-Ups: Utah
Slight Favorites: TCU
Favorites: Arizona, UCF, ASU, Baylor, Kansas, Cincy
Heavy Favorites: CSU, Iowa State
Prohibitive Favorites: Utah Tech

We need to avoid a bad loss like we had against Kansas in '24. TCU will be breaking in a new QB and we get them early, so I'm not too worried about that one. Utah will be tough. If we can pull off an upset and beat Notre Dame at LES, this could be a playoff team even if we drop a game and don't win the Big 12.
