Texas Tech has large amounts of territory on that thing, and we could’ve claimed it with that win.

Our next four opponents all lost, meaning they don’t hold any current territory. Oklahoma State has a bye so will come to Provo with no territory to win.

The closest opportunity to gain ground is against UCF if they upset Iowa State (and the Cyclones defeat West Virginia next week).

After that, it’s guaranteed that Utah will not hold any territory going into the rivalry game, even if they win every game.

Ah well, go Cougs!
