ESPN projects that BYU will have another losing season.
The Worldwide Leader predicts the Cougars will win only four games — against McNeese State, Hawaii, Northern Illinois and New Mexico State. ESPN sees BYU losing at home to Utah State and at UMass.
The Cougars posted a 4-9 record last season.
BYU opens the season at Arizona and then at home against California. The Cougars also play three teams projected to be ranked in the preseason Top 25 — Wisconsin, Washington and Boise State. BYU finishes the regular season at arch-rival Utah.
