BYU’s resume pairs eye-catching neutral-site wins over Villanova, Wisconsin, Miami and Dayton with an important road victory at Kansas State, showing the offense can carry the team in tough environments; those signature wins are balanced by a tight neutral loss to Connecticut, a setback at Texas Tech and a home defeat to Arizona that expose defensive inconsistencies and keep BYU just shy of the very top tier. Remaining dates at Kansas and at Arizona along with a home game against Houston and road tests at Baylor and Oklahoma State are clear chances to either lock the resume in or squander ground, so the committee will reward the road and neutral success already achieved while still penalizing any further damaging results, which is why BYU’s placement feels fitting.
