BYU Cougars 2026 Team Preview | The College Football Experience (Ep. 3145)

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. 00:00 Download the SGPN App Today! 00:52 Welcome To The College Football Experience 05:11 Why BYU Belongs In College Football 07:05 A Proud 12-2 Program 08:43 Kalani Sitake And The Fullback Coaching Tree 12:04 Sitake's Record Against The Field 14:42 Robbed Of The Playoff Back To Back Years 19:45 Four And Oh In One Score Games 23:06 The Offense And Aaron Roderick's Return 23:52 Bear Bachmeier's Breakout Season 24:28 Returning Production And Portal Additions 28:24 The Defense Under Kelly Poppinga 32:44 LaVell Edwards Stadium And The Best Fans 37:19 Football Legends And The State Of The Program 41:05 The 2026 Schedule Breakdown 50:01 Win Total, Big 12 And CFP Odds Exclusive SGPN Bonuses And Linkshttps://sg.pn/linksWatch The Sports Gambling PodcastYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/sportsgamblingpodcastFollow The Sports Gambling PodcastX/Twitter - https://x.com/GamblingPodcastInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/sportsgamblingpodcastTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@gamblingpodcastFacebook - http://www.facebook.com/sportsgamblingpodcastFollow The Sports Gambling Podcast HostsSean Green - http://www.twitter.com/seantgreenRyan Kramer - http://www.twitter.com/kramercentric-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-Gambling problem?
