Most would love to have a 10-3 record, but for BYU when there were hopes for a BCS bid and a third straight conference title and a 10 win season was not enough. BYU should have the offense even with their loss of wide out Austin Collie, but it was their defense that held them down. A BCS bid is unlikely unless they are able to go undefeated which would require them beating Oklahoma in Dallas, or not get embarrassed and go 11-1.
