My 2010 Bold MWC Prediction

[Sizzle]

Either BYU or Utah, and potentially both, lose a conference game this year that is not against TCU, BYU or Utah.

Trap games for Utah include at Wyoming, at Air Force, and to a lesser degree, at San Diego State.

Trap games for BYU are at Air Force and at home against SDSU.

AFA isn't a trap game for us. The Falcons always play us tough, and it's our first true challenge after a month-plus of pushovers. We know what we're getting into there.

Not buying the Wyoming resurgence yet. They were improved last year, but caught a ton of breaks. I expect a CSU regression this year -- although they won't go winless in MWC play by a long shot.

SDSU is where I agree 100 percent. It's the lone breather in our final five games, but the Aztecs should really be coming around at this point. It comes after AFA-TCU-Notre Dame, but before BYU. Even if Utah were to be 10-0 at this point, this game would be terrifying, unless SDSU takes a clear step backward.

I'd say Nevada is a bigger trap game for BYU than the two you mentioned, but I also realize it falls outside of your parameters -- it's not a conference game.

Yup I agree on Nevada. 1-3 is more likely than 3-1 IMO, as is 0-4 more likely than 4-0. Having said that, I think the Y splits their first four, has figured out the QB situation and has their identity and is ready to roll.

Utah will should be able to grind out a victory in Laramie fairly easy. And regardless of the gap in talent or season performance, Utah hasn't had anything resembling a comfortable win in Colorado Springs since the WAC days. It's impossible to pencil that in as a win.

But even with everything BYU lost from last year, I still get the feeling that they lose to only FSU, TCU, and Utah. With very few exceptions, they easily dispose of the teams they should beat.

They both should, absolutely. I don't think they both will though.

I hate when I am right.
