Crazy fact: BYU vs Utah is now the defacto #1 matchup in the Big 12. That's nuts

Texas Tech & TCU is up there as well

Baylor-TCU is a bigger rivalry than TTU-TCU
Ski-U-Mah

And neither is close to BYU Utah.

Does the Baylor/ TCU or TTU / TCU games have name?

Baylor-Tech is the BUTT Bowl.

That’s golden. I haven’t heard of that one

Will it really get any press outside of Utah? Doubtful
Nat Gas Man

Of course it will. Are you serious?

I live outside Utah/West and can't really say how high it registers

This will be the first time that a major conference will feature it...

I hear about it quite a bit. It’s generally considered around a top 5 CFB rivalry.
FieroCoug
8/8/23 1:15pm
Top 5 seems a might bit of a stretch.
MarylandFan
8/8/23 3:21pm
Not really. Every list I’ve ever seen has it between 4th and 6th.
FieroCoug
8/8/23 3:49pm
Top 5? Nah, not even close

Athlon is a pretty good source, they put it at 14

Come on. It absolutely will.

8/8/23 12:47pm
It already got a lot of press outside the state, and that will increase dramatically now that we're both in the B12,
SingleStrapBackpack
8/8/23 12:49pm
Absolutely not. Most people don’t even know that we are rivals probably.
LaVellIfIKnow
8/8/23 12:50pm
Yeah most people probably think Utah and BYU are the same school

If I'm reading the room right, the Big12 fanbases all hate Utah now. So yes

The BIG12 will promote the S out of this

Utes tried so hard to kill it and then followed us into the Big 12 and won’t be

BYU to Utah
Devbo

There are going to be a LOT of conference fans watching this game than previous

Oklahoma St is a big brand and I’m excited to play them
Ron Mexico
8/8/23 12:52pm
There's a really good chance this game will be on the Friday or Saturday after
thewaterboy
8/8/23 12:54pm
This is a very good point. There are only two rivalries left in the West that
Nat Gas Man
8/8/23 2:07pm
You've got both Friday and Saturday that week also
thewaterboy
8/8/23 2:16pm
I think that you're overstating how much people outside of Utah care about
a priori
8/8/23 12:54pm
Neither is Army-Navy, but it always gets top billing

The drama that pulled the Big12 fan base into the BYU / Utah rivalry
SnickSnack
8/8/23 12:54pm
Doubt it.

It feels like that right now. I don't know if that will last.

We're the new kids on the block. Let's see how things shake out first.

Love the sig pic...that was one of my favorite nights ever as a CFB/BYU fan

Disagree. Utah has 3.34 million people, half the size of Houston metro area
BaylorBear
8/8/23 1:22pm
???? Houstons biggest rival is the mighty Rice Owls. I must be missing something

How big a place is has nothing to do with how big a rivalry is. Oklahoma has about 3M too. Tuscaloosa and auburn
FieroCoug
8/8/23 2:13pm
Classic fallacy of thinking BYU interest is contained to Utah
rad dawg
8/8/23 3:58pm
And even Utahs fan base as much as we make fun of it, is still one of the biggest in the big 12.
FieroCoug
8/8/23 8:07pm
That's a reasonable perspective. I'm curious how you would rank the various B12
Abe Froman
8/8/23 1:58pm
Good question
BaylorBear
8/8/23 2:07pm
Great discussions like these amplify the fun of a good conference for me btw
BaylorBear

No Farmageddon on your list?!!
FrankenCoug
8/8/23 3:30pm
I can buy that
Bob Vance

Alabama only has 5 million people, but the Iron Bowl is a Top 3 rivalry game.
dYrtbYkerYder

ASU vs UA might be bigger deal.
cdr88
8/8/23 2:02pm
So two lackluster fan bases get really excited for one game a year?
moknowssports
8/8/23 2:09pm
This statement goes for all but about 5 big rivalries though
BaylorBear
8/8/23 2:11pm
Recency bias and your emotional detactment from the rivalry don't diminish it.

8/8/23 4:15pm
So an internet poll that lets you assign points based on how much you hate your

And hopefully they put it back where it belongs, at the end of the season. Will most likely have big implications
RoaroftheCougartails
8/8/23 2:40pm
Yup. And what's up w/ all the CBers who said they "never" wanted to play Utah
BleedCougarBlue2
8/8/23 3:08pm
I still maintain that position...but I also didn't want to be in same conference

Probably 80% of the reason they were brought in. "You're welcome, yewts. If only

Living next to TCU I can say we’ve never hated a team as much as UU/BYU. Legend.

We’ve hated on SMU (DFW neighbors) and Longhorns because they are evil.
