2014 Schedule Ranked

Post by SpiffCoug »

The results are in. Here is the 2014 schedule listed form the most to least difficult game:

1. @ Texas 69%
2. @ UCF 31%
3. @ Boise St 74%
4. vs Houston 80%
5. vs Utah St 78%
6. @ UConn 92%
7. @ Cal 69%
8. @ Middle Tennesse 48%
9. vs UNLV 55%
10. vs Virginia 40%
11. vs Nevada 60%
12. vs Savannah St 96.4%

As one might expect, most of the more difficult games are on the road.

As I look at the schedule, I think every game is winnable. There isn't a game on there that BYU should lose in blowout fashion. And the Cougs should be favored in at least nine games.

It's going to be a very fun season and we are less than 1 month away!


BYU PER W/L Since 1972: 432-76 (.850)
(8.4x
YDS)+(330xTD)+(100xCOM)-(200xINT)

It looks like at least the polls agree with this assessment:

Yep, clearly the USA Today is using Cougar Corner.com's assessment as a basis for their reports.

Since when have we put much stock in pre-season polls on this site?
UCF doesnt get quite as much credit as theydeserve and UT gets more than they deserve (whats new?).
That said, I still think the UT game is the hardest. Word has it that Charlie Strong is still watching the tape from the BYU game and gets livid each time he watches it. Whichever players are remaining, and the shelves are usually full, UT will be gunning for BYU. They got taken behind the woodshed in Provo and were flat out embarrassed. BYU better come ready, sans hubris, bc they will be gunning for Taysom and spitting vinegar.
