No way in hell that BSU will be in the Fiesta Bowl. Look at their schedule dude, they haven't played anyone. Here are a few numbers...the combined record of their opponents is 9-13 and Utah was the first team that they played with a winning record.

Lets also compare the schedules and scores of the Utes run to the Fiesta Bowl and BSU's chances. We can look again at the end of the season. I believe that their schedule strength is not high enough to break into the BCS. Something catastrophic would have to happen to several BCS teams for them to make it. And the undefeated thing???? We'll just have to wait and see...it is the only prayer for them, if they even have one.

If Boise ends up ranked 12th or higher the BCS has to take them I believe.... it was part of the new package the BCS was forced to adopt so that conferences like the WAC, MWC and MAC would not sue their ass.

When Utah busted the BCS I believe the rule was an outsider had to be ranked 6th or higher and the Utes were ranked 5th at the end of the season so the BCS was forced to take them.

A lot of football left to be played, but I'm cheering for Boise to bust the hokey BCS system.

I wouldn't go so far as to say the U has an excellent team this year, I think TCU is just over-over-over-rated by the BCS. How in the crap do you go from being ranked 15 to losing two in a row to unranked teams including one at home. I am worried that BYU isn't as good as I initially thought either, but their schedule from here on out is cake except for the match-up with the U. I guess will see...

:lol8: Yeah rockgremlin's ankles broke when he jumped off last week. :lol8:

Good to see them bounce back and get the job done. Things certainly weren't perfect, but it was a definite improvement. It was a fun game to attend, the crowd was really into it and I think we bothered TCU on several snap counts. :five:

Dang.... this will be my first week I can't watch the Utes because of the stupied MTN tv deal. I'm trying to figure out where to go watch the game...

Anyone want to invite me over? Or I know a cool bar in Park City that will have the game on :lol8:

Greetings,

According to my calculations, the Utes will lose at least 2 more this season.

I can almost guarantee that they will lost to Wyoming at Laramie this weekend.

I will go ahead and guarantee a loss at Air Force later this season. Air Force is tough this year - they BARELY lost to Tennessee, who is currently ranked 9th in the nation, and almost beat Urban Meyer's Gators.

What cool bar do you go to up there?
I was a huge fan of Burgies (RIP).
All you can eat wings for 5 bucks and dollar pints of beer. It was the best money I ever spent.

Dang, I can't find the name. It's at the north end of town on the east side of the street. It's next to the Marriott Summit Watch. They have about 50 big screen TV's all tuned into different games. It's a great place to watch college football.

:cheers:

next time I am up there I will look around for it, if you recall the name let me know.
With the Death of Burgies and The Wasatch Sport Bar turning into the Cantina :ne_nau: I have not gone up there to watch a game in awhile.

Anyone know of a cool sports bar with all you can eat wings???

I think Rock has got the Utes figured to a tee. Not only did they lose to Wyoming, they got beat quite soundly. The Ratmeister is just to inexperienced to carry the team

For some reason, the Cowboys really have our number. They ALWAYS gear up to play us -- especially when we play in Laramie.
