I think the misunderstanding here on CB is that because the CFP are talked about, it's an expectation of Utah fans. It really isn't at all. If you were to read the Utah boards or ask around you would find the vast majority of fans discuss it with a boat load of "IFs" attached. So much needs to happen. But the fun part is that although it's small, it's a real probability. Nationally Utah comes up, locally Utah comes up, and now, even CB brings up Utah. I think there would be very little pain if Utah doesn't make it. There is just joy taking in the fact that it's possible.
If you think about it, it's not very likely for any team. 4 get in. Out of 130. So much has to happen outside of any team's control. How could anyone realistically expect to make it without outside help?
