is what paved the way for Boise and Utah to get in the BCS years later. BYU was told PRIOR to their final regular season game against Hawaii (horrible game without our star player) that they would not be getting a BCS invite. That presented the issue of how the BCS was a monopoly for the P5 (P6 because the Big East still existed) and didn’t allow for G5 teams to participate.

So, yeah, Utah… you’re welcome, you filthy animals.
