I said it after BC and I will say it again, this is the most talent and depth BYU has had since the mid 1990's. Further, John Beck is emerging as an AA caliber quarterback. He won't get it and he probably shouldn't, but if he keeps playing this well it is going to be a fun finish.
I agree... this is the best BYU team that I have seen since 1996*. IMO, they are not "there" yet, but they are getting closer. They are pretty deep and complete, and, I think that next year might be pretty solid too.

Remember, 1983 was supposed to be THE year for BYU. 1984 was supposed to be a rebuilding year with Young having left and a pretty much unproven Bosco ready to take over. I am not saying that 2007 will be like 1984, just that BYU 'could' be ready to have a big year next year.

*I was on my mission in 2001, and did not see any games with Luke Staley, as I returned home only to watch the bowl game.
