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

8/8/23 12:51pm

And neither is close to BYU Utah.

If anyone cares, TTU/TCU Battle for the Saddle & Baylor/TCU Revivalry Game

Baylor-Tech is the BUTT Bowl.

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

NewBYUfannonLDS

8/8/23 4:14pm

Will it really get any press outside of Utah? Doubtful

Nat Gas Man

8/8/23 12:46pm

Of course it will. Are you serious?

PGVikingDad

8/8/23 12:47pm

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

MarylandFan

8/8/23 12:53pm

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

moknowssports

8/8/23 1:02pm

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

zerome4sooners

8/8/23 4:14pm

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

gww687

8/8/23 3:57pm

Come on. It absolutely will.

Abe Froman

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

robin

8/8/23 5:11pm

It already is

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

Brandoblueblood

8/8/23 3:58pm

The BIG12 will promote the S out of this

CrimsonCardinal

8/8/23 6:11pm

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

Abe Froman

8/8/23 12:47pm

BYU to Utah

Devbo

8/8/23 12:54pm

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

LeonMarek

8/8/23 12:50pm

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

akbarishiwatsu

8/8/23 2:43pm

The drama that pulled the Big12 fan base into the BYU / Utah rivalry

SnickSnack

8/8/23 12:54pm

Doubt it.

a priori

8/8/23 12:55pm

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

MarylandFan

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

moknowssports

8/8/23 1:04pm

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

ALUF 1990

8/8/23 1:31pm

Sorry I was not clear

BaylorBear

8/8/23 2:00pm

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

8/8/23 2:09pm

No Farmageddon on your list?!!

FrankenCoug

8/8/23 3:30pm

I can buy that

Bob Vance

8/8/23 3:47pm

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

dYrtbYkerYder

8/8/23 4:49pm

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.

cdr88

8/8/23 4:15pm

So an internet poll that lets you assign points based on how much you hate your

Cougz19

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

moknowssports

8/8/23 3:47pm

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.

ZWOOKIEZyoutube

8/8/23 6:01pm

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