- To Ryan's point in the chat, BYU and Utah are the only teams lined at eight and a half wins or higher aside from obviously Texas Tech, which is basically favored to go undefeated. - Top Team-Specific Takeaways - Cuz the quarterback for BYU, unless he takes a big step forward, I mean he's a solid, nice college quarterback, but I don't think he's the type of guy who could carry that team without weapons on the outside. - like maybe they have a superstar tight end they can get it to. - Uh but I'm kind of like I just think Utah's defense would shut them down.

- BYU exempt from five-for-five rule: Religious exemption allows BYU players to use missionary service + military service + potential paternity leave to exceed five-year clock; similar to Chris Weinke model. Rule could inadvertently create roster advantage for BYU if athletes strategically time missions/service.

- Notre Dame’s 11.5 win total is being priced like an elite team, but Duck flagged BYU at Provo as a tough road spot and said the Irish are not a must-lay at this number. - Kansas State: Calabrese likes the staff combo of Colin Klein and Sean Gleason to maximize Avery Johnson. He pointed out a favorable schedule with five of the first six at home and no Texas Tech / Utah / BYU on the slate. - Top Team-Specific Takeaways - the offensive line surrendered its fair share of havoc, and that doesn't even chart the havoc that Sorsby was able to wiggle out of or avoid. - French isn't really gonna be able to do that, so I think the defense is going to be put in worse positions this year.
