College Football is 33 days away and as fall camp starts on August third for the Cougars. Earlier this year I wrote an article for a schedule preview now this one is my prediction for the upcoming season. With BYU playing another Power 5 heavy schedule and their last as an independent this one could be one for the record books.
2022 Record: 10-2
South Florida
I have us winning this game. The game is on the road in September and is the season opener. With transfers and some going to the NFL, the Bulls aren’t going to have much success in 2022. This game should be an easy win and one that will be great to start the season on.
Baylor
I have us winning this game but it will be a close one. The home opener will be one that fans won’t want to miss. After what the game was last season it will definitely be a revenge game for the Cougars.
Oregon
This one they will lose. Yes, Oregon lost some key players but they have a strong team for this year as well. It will be a hard-fought game and it will be close. Unless Oregon has some key players get hurt then it will be a loss for the Cougars. The Offense and Defense will have to have a really big day in order to beat the Ducks.
Wyoming
This is a definite win for BYU. As fans as the game go on you might see some more backups coming in and getting some playing time.
Utah State
Here is another win that won’t be easy but also won’t be a close game. BYU is always fighting extra for the Wagon Wheel and they want to keep it in Provo. The Defense will have to make some big plays in order to keep this game out of Aggie’s reach.
Notre Dame
The Cougars are going to come in and beat Notre Dame. No matter how hard Notre Dame tries the Cougars will win. With a new head coach and a new offense, it won’t be close.
Arkansas
BYU will lose to Arkansas. With their quarterback being one of the better ones in the country it will be hard for the defense to keep up with the offense. Their two returning running backs will also be hard to catch once they get into the open field.
Liberty
This game will be a win for the Cougars. Liberty has lost some key players from last year and they won’t even be close to the same team.
East Carolina
Another easy win for the Cougars and another revenge game when the Cougars lost to them back in 2017. You may also see some backups in here as well.
Boise State
Another dog fight. This is also a revenge game after BYU struggled to hang in the game last year against the Broncos. This game could go either way but I say we will win it.
Utah Tech
Senior night will be a really easy win and many of the backups will play significant time.
Stanford
A win but it won’t be easy. The offense and the defense will have to be on their toes as we may be down some of our key players due to injury.

Tayla-Ann Wright,
I’ve enjoyed your BYU Player Bios earlier in July.
I’m not One for predicting a whole Season Game by Game.
Since it is upcoming FB Camp Season & dreaming about a special college FB Season in 2022 is what a 1-A Fan dreams about: I can hope that we will win 10 regular Season Games for a 3rd Year in a Row.
A build up of critical Injuries to key Players in earlier Games & enough of these Players being unavailable at the wrong Time is where I think the lost 2 Games will come.
This is strictly unresearched Opinion on my Part remembering 2018, 2019, 2020 & last Year.
