And Ute fans would be obligated to feel the same as BYU fans?

Yeah, we all know that. But BYU isn't, so we have different feelings about the game than fans of the schools that are playing, just like every other year.

Great line from a Utah fan/friend about the sanctity of the Rose Bowl

If the shoe were on the other foot BYU fans would be ecstatic over the game.

Of course we would. But I wouldn’t say we need a 6 team playoff to “protect it”.

Of course we would be ecstatic. But in context to their conversation that’s dumb. You should want the rose bowl

Exactly. The Rose Bowl should be 1 of the quarterfinal games every year.

I would *never* ask for a smaller playoff to protect the sanctity of any bowl...

Bowl games are largely meaningless. That includes the rose bowl

You can be excited without saying dumb things.

I care about the Rose Bowl as much as I care about the Peach/Gator Bowl

Yes, we'd be excited. But holding the Rose Bowl out of the playoffs is silly and

The Rose Bowl is incredibly overrated

Gustav

Incorrect. It’s “the grand daddy of them all!”

WP17

12/31/21 8:54am

Maybe the kooky and crazy kind of grandaddy

Gustav

12/31/21 8:57am

But why? Because someone said that? A bowl game really is only as good as the

Yep. It used to mean more, but so did train travel.

What makes the Rose Bowl different and unique?

thewaterboy

12/31/21 8:54am

It’s the grand daddy of them all of course.

It excludes quality teams to protect the PAC 12

BYU Fan

The Pac12 should want an expanded playoff more than any other conference with as

I mean, it is the granddaddy of ‘em all.

A lot of people feel this way, not just Utes. Personally I’m not into tradition

lilpenny

Tradition is just an excuse people use to keep control of the money

Colorado

Without being part of the playoff? Not even the rose bowl organizers

BYU '80

It’s a great Bowl Game. But still just a bowl game. Expand the playoffs and let bowls get in line or perish.

Let the Utes go there every year. Everyone else can play for the 16 team playoff

Does he know that the Rose bowl is a Playoff bowl game every three years? Maybe
