BYU defeated Houston on Friday night, moving to 5-0 on the season. The AP Top 25 poll rewarded them with a No. 12 ranking, the highest the Cougars have ranked since 2009. As such, the bowl hype is sky-high.
Some sites have not quite bought into the hype of BYU as a NY6 team quite yet. This would pit the Cougars against former Mountain West rival TCU in a mid-tier bowl. TCU, now in the Big 12, has stumbled out of the gate to 1-2 but they have a big date with Oklahoma this weekend. If they beat the Sooners, this prediction will likely not come true, as they could be bound for a bigger bowl.
