If he only plays in less than 4 this year, can he come back again?

Xenon

Sep 26, 12:16pm

Ridiculously yes, he can. He's said he won't, though.

Because Wilson would probably transfer

He can come back regardless. He has one more year of eligibility.

Wait seriously?!? Lol!

rad dawg

Sep 26, 12:32pm

True story.

Jdoc

Sep 26, 12:35pm

Due to the new rule that gave players a year back for the rule

davidmj10

Sep 26, 1:12pm

Correct. He was docked a year for transferring. Transfer year was given back

NYC and Japan

Sep 26, 1:12pm

Until next year when he gets "one more year of eligibility" again

Utah is top 10 and the hands down favorite for the CCG. Rising just has a cut finger

Sep 26, 12:32pm

Lol...that cool million to watch you guys go 8-5 last year? Definitely worth it

Blueto

Sep 26, 12:42pm

Hands down title favorite in Ute fan minds. I have not seen a single national

NYC and Japan

Sep 26, 1:14pm

You’re kidding, right? First, Utah is a favorite to get to the CCG.

TFL

Sep 26, 2:25pm

I think you are both talking about different things. They are expected to get

Parabellum

Sep 26, 2:46pm

they are the favorites to make the CCG. I have no idea who would win

Sorry, CCG means Conference Championship Game. Always has

No, you have now changed wording. Originally “the” favorite. Now “a” favorite

Utah is both. I know enough about CCGs That you can’t project a winner

Sep 26, 5:17pm

From a prior post

You are posting about the CFP TFL is saying CCG

CCG = Conference Championship Game? Or so I thought....

Sep 26, 3:50pm

What are all these models you speak of besides FPI?

Medute

Sep 26, 4:15pm

FPI - UCF, Sagarin Most Recent, The Power Rank, Massey/Unabated and Congrove ISU

NYC and Japan

Sep 26, 5:15pm

so for example, ESPN FPI Gives Utah a 66% chance to beat Iowa State

what does Vegas have as odds for UCF to win the big 12?

Vegas trumps any computer

You should totally start planning the parade already!

I've seen quite a few things saying that Utah is the favorite to win the BIG12.

Powerbait DPM

Sep 26, 2:33pm

Exactly. Utah has been through this before so we are not naïve enough to assume it happens but

TFL

Sep 26, 5:20pm

I feel like most pundits now clearly have Utah as the Big 12 favorite

i’m in your camp. Would love to see both of them compete for the title. In a conference

Abe Froman

is Utah not top 10? What percentage of projections

Sep 26, 2:26pm

Utah is not "the hands down favorite for the CCG”.

Abe Froman

Sep 26, 2:30pm

What other two teams are?

TFL

Sep 26, 5:25pm

Only top 2 make the College Championship Game.

Blue Heart

Sep 26, 3:09pm

CCG means conference championship game in this case.

Sep 26, 3:35pm

Blue Heart

Sep 26, 3:44pm

Yeah and if I’m wrong and he’s talking about the natty, then I’d wholly agree with you.

Virginia Ute

Sep 26, 3:50pm

If he said B12 CCG I would not have questioned it

Blue Heart

Sep 26, 3:57pm

Yes, no one is talking about the NC. CCG = Big 12 title game. For Utah, making the playoffs by winning that game

TFL

Sep 26, 5:43pm

About as much of a favorite as BYU is right now

2FarGone

Sep 26, 1:50pm

Not really:

Virginia Ute

Sep 26, 2:16pm

Yes, let's point to the people that have been completely wrong about BYU in ever

slatecoug

Sep 26, 2:21pm

If you’re talking about who is the “favorite,” then it’s pretty cut and dry. That doesn’t mean a team

Virginia Ute

Sep 26, 3:34pm

I'm talking about the people that put out the odds for things like that.

slatecoug

Sep 26, 3:47pm

I’m telling you that when someone says that such and such team is “the favorite,” they are talking about Vegas odds.

Virginia Ute

Sep 26, 3:50pm

Thank you for clarifying the obvious that everyone on here already knows.

Nerve damage? From a laceration? Seems like a nasty laceration? Did they have to irrigate it and wash it out?

Littlerich

Having a hard time gripping and throwing the ball

Medute

Sep 26, 1:03pm

He could have a tendon pulley injury as well which would impact the flexor tendons

Littlerich

Sep 26, 1:29pm

I wouldn’t dare reveal who I talked to

Medute

Sep 26, 1:40pm

I would think with the lack of grip strength they would get an MRI to assess the nerve and tendon/pulleys

My son was out of pitching for 3 weeks due to blisters on his finger. Maybe

It's not the coaches' fault he was reckless on that play, though.
