Like, what if BYU fulfils its "Quest" this year and goes undefeated? What if they end up in the Fiesta Bowl as this year's BCS Buster? What if they go in to the Fiesta Bowl ranked #5 and knock off #4 Texas? With all of their skill players just juniors and sophomores this year, with a relatively young defense, with one of the game's hottest coaches, and on the heels of such a highly successful season, what if the Cougars entered 2009 ranked in or close to the Top 5? What if they ran through the schedule again undefeated (including a win over Florida St.)? Would they legitimately have a shot at the National Championship in 2009?
These are questions I ponder and start to get excited about. BUT. BUT. But, then I get to thinking what if Max Hall rides a high Heisman finish and fantastic 2008 in to the NFL draft?
What if Austin Collie wants to get paid, rather than risk injury in a senior season? What if Dennis Pitta decides to follow BYU's long line of tight ends in the NFL? What if Harvey Unga pulls a Luke Staley? What if Jan Jorgensen succumbs to the temptation to try and record a sack against Tom Brady or Peyton Manning? And what if some BCS school lured Bronco away from Provo? These are also questions that I ponder.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not out on a ledge worrying about these things. But I do worry about them. I just hope Hall, Collie, Unga, Pitta, Jorgensen, and Mendenhall can foresee the possibilities that could be in store for 2009 the way I do. After all, I think I could live with a National Championship every 25 years or so.

I am excited about getting aisle seats this year. Does that count as football?
But Hall, Collie, Unga, Pitta, Jorgensen and Mendenhall are not ALLOWED to foresee anything beyond their next opponent, much less 2009. You will have to exercise that foresight for them.
