BYU heads into Week 6 as one of four undefeated teams in the Big 12. The 23rd-ranked Cougars are coming off a 24-21 road win over Deion Sanders and Colorado. The rare Alamo Bowl rematch against conference foes featured Kalani Sitake's team mounting a second half comeback over the Buffaloes. 

True freshman quarterback Bear Bachmeier has thrown for 697 yards and 10 total touchdowns without a turnover. He's a major reason why BYU has outscored opponents 154-37 this season. 

BYU's next game will come on Oct. 3 against West Virginia in Provo. It's a warm up for three of the next four on the road, including two ranked opponents (No. 14 Iowa State, No. 11 Texas Tech) and the Holy War with Utah on Oct. 18. If the Cougars can stay perfect going into next month, they'll earn buzz as a Big 12 favorite.
