2025 Wyoming Football Predictions: Cowboys Ranked 104th in RJ Young's Ultimate 136
This isn't your average college football ranking.
My Ultimate 136 is a set of rankings that is fluid, but it's my job to look ahead and make a claim for all FBS teams based on what I know and why I know it. Here are the three pressing questions I started by asking when putting together this list:
- Who do I think is good?
- Why do I think they're good?
- What are the chances they will finish above or below my expectations?
Here is a look at where Wyoming lands in my Ultimate 136.
Wyoming ranking: 104
Last year’s ranking: 84
Top player: TE John Michael Gyllenborg: Second-team All-Mountain West selection last season; led Wyoming in receiving yards per game at 47.2 and was tied for the team lead in touchdown catches (3).
RJ’s take: The Cowboys had a rough ride in 2024. They finished 3-9 in Jay Sawvel’s first season at the helm and didn't have a good enough defense to win most games. That’s concerning because when Sawvel was defensive coordinator at Wyoming in 2023, the team finished 9-4 and was more than credible. With eight of 13 portal pickups coming from the FCS or lower divisions, the Cowboys might be in for another rough campaign.
