We had a lot of discussion about the travel at the end of last season, which quickly dissipated as the Irish ran the table, but I just noticed BYU's 2019 slate as an independent. While the level of opponents is not the same, they'll make 4 trips to the Eastern time zone from Provo for games this year. That, on top of their first four games including three Pac12 powers and an SEC team, seems like a guarantee to finish 7-5 at best.
