BYU enters late November at 7-2 overall and 4-2 in the Big 12 after a 28-20 loss at rival Utah on November 7. The Cougars opened 6-0 with a signature home win over then-No. 2 Notre Dame and road victories at TCU and Colorado State before dropping a double-overtime contest at UCF. Quarterback Bear Bachmeier has led a balanced attack, while the defense ranks among the conference’s better units in points and yards allowed. Three regular-season games remain against Baylor, at Kansas, and versus Cincinnati. Recent results have trimmed playoff positioning and conference title odds, but the remaining schedule offers a realistic path to 10 or 11 total wins if BYU secures most or all of those contests. Roster health, particularly running back LJ Martin’s status, and road performance will influence the final regular-season tally.
