The College Football Experience (@TCEonSGPN) on the Sports Gambling Podcast Network continues its 138 college football team preview series with the BYU Cougars 2026 Season Preview. Pick Dundee aka (@TheColbyD) & Ryan McIntyre (@Moneyline_Mac) break down the 2026 BYU Cougars roster and what to expect in the Big 12 this season. Can Kalani Sitake build on a 12-2 season and finally get the Cougars over the top after back to back playoff snubs? Is Aaron Roderick's offense ready to take another step forward behind a veteran offensive line? How much does a full offseason mean for sophomore quarterback Bear Bachmeier?
How good can Bear Bachmeier be after a 3,560 total yard, 26 touchdown freshman year? Does LJ Martin run his way into one of the best backfields in the Big 12, and can Jojo Phillips anchor the receiver room? Can new defensive coordinator Kelly Poppinga keep this unit rolling with 69% of the production back? What does a night under the lights at LaVell Edwards Stadium do to a ranked visitor at Provo's altitude? How does a schedule with Arizona, Iowa State, Notre Dame, Arizona State, the Holy War at Utah and a Kansas trip to The Booth shake out? And where's the betting value on the BYU Cougars win total, Big 12 odds and College Football Playoff chances? We talk it all and more on this episode of The College Football Experience.
