Even better, I want to be one of the few teams from the South to not get completely shellacked in the CCG. USC is the only South team to win. UCLA lost a close one the second time (they were pasted the first time).
UA, ASU, and CU all got thoroughly embarrassed when they went. IIRC all lost by 2-3+ TDs.
John Wilner:
Utah also had to play Arizona State on the road.Utah did it the hard way, too, with a backup quarterback in two must-win games and the most difficult schedule in the division. The Utes drew the short straw with the crossover rotation, joining Arizona State in having to play Washington, Stanford and Oregon while …
Arizona missed Washington and Stanford
USC missed Washington and Oregon.
(All the South contenders except ASU had to play Washington State, so the Utes didn’t have a significant disadvantage in that aspect.)
Wilner likes Utah’s chances against either Washington team.
I’ll say it now. The Utes are going to the Rose Bowl.

I thought this year’s team would be good, but didn’t think we were good enough to overcome our schedule to make it to the championship game this year. I figured 7-5 or 8-4, 2nd place in the south, and the Sun Bowl or Holiday bowl.
I thought next year was our year. I have to think we will be picked to win the south next fall.

What I love about this team is its collective belief it can win. There are a few players that embody that too. Huntley and Shelley, Moss, Covey, Hansen and Barton. Watching Maxs Tupai explode off the line this last game was unreal. There are many others I am not noting here, but we have a bunch of guys who are attempting to make extraordinary plays every single snap.
I really like this team too.

Matt Gay doesn’t make the finals for the Groza award.
Wyoming’s kicker does....despite only attempting 16 field goals with a long of 51......and 69 points

Stewart Mandel is out with his bowl projections and he has Utah going to..........the sun bowl as the 5th pick from the Pac-12.
Once again, I hate that these bowl games have the ability to pick anyone within a game of the top spot at their selection.
Lets just win these next two and not put it in the hands of those ne'er do wells.
At the very least there should be a rule that if a bowl takes a team with a worse record over a team with a better record the team with the lower record has to be within a game in the standings of the better team, and if a team gets bumped down the pecking order one year then they can't be knocked down at all in either of the next two years.
I'm glad we have Shyne, but he is not anywhere near the back that Moss is. He has zero "slipperiness" -- when defenders are near him they tackle him. His vision is pretty bad; numerous times during the Oregon game he missed what appeared to be obvious cutbacks that would have resulted in 5+ yards. His pass protection is improving but still needs work. And short yardage? I don't think he has ever picked up a third and short or goalline situation. Those are all areas where Moss greatly exceeds him.
On the positive side, he has surprising speed for a back of his size. When he gets a big lane he runs through it for massive yards (Sancho's 7+ or nothing observation).
But he's our guy now.
What a joke!
Watch us end up in Vegas again. The only way off of this treadmill is to win this week and make a great showing in the Rose Bowl, so we can start ahead of the curve next year.
As I understand it, the farthest we could fall would be the Sun Bowl, and that would only be if the Holiday bowl took Oregon. Will they take the Ducks with the possibility that Herbert won't play? That will be the thing to watch.
“It only ends once. Anything that happens before that is just progress.”
Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
I'd like the Alamo as i could go to that
