Wow the pitchforks would be out among the cougar fans with 6 or 7 wins.

I think we will do better. The chance on the first game is too low.

We don't lose our first four. No way

I think we beat Nebraska and Boise St. I dont know about UCLA and Michigan. We're good enough, bar key injuries, to beat all four of these, and I would be predicting a win at Michigan if that were the season opener. Being the fourth big game in a row, and the third road game out of four, makes the Michigan game the most dangerous of those four. I would call the UN game and the Michigan game equivalent, except that UN is first, and Michigan fourth. BYU is traditionally tough in the opener. Michigan is fortunate to get BYU in the fourth week. Utah will beat new HC Michigan at home in game one. By the end of September, Harbaugh will have two or three games under his belt and will have taken notice of BYU's abilities in the first three games. I'm not saying that we lose to them in Ann Arbor; just don't know.

These Massey predictions are wishful thinking, that BYU will go away quietly into mid-major oblivion. In the words of George H W, "Uh' Uh, Not gonna." ;)

I could see us losing our first four. I think losing all four is more likely than winning all four.

I think losing all four is more likely than winning three of them.

I'm bearish on this upcoming season.

Taysom is going to have to throw like Ty Detmer and run like Steve young for BYU to win as many games as people are predicting with that schedule next year. The good news is, BYU has a ton of weapons on offense this year even with the question marks about some of the returning players. Plus Bronco is going to have to pull a rabbit out of his hat defensively again like he did in 2010 after he fired Hill.

In the erroneous world of voting on CC, the last two posts deserve down votes....but since I agree.....

If BYU starts 0-4, not only pitch forks, but hate mail to Tom for selling out the Cougs.
Let's see if Penney still feels like playing four Christian Ponders in a row is still better than beating Wyoming for a MWC ring. Just sayin. Bring it on down voters. Prove my point.
