I mean, wasn't that the case last year too? It was supposed to be Utah's best

year ever, but they didn't win a single non-conference FBS game, got taken to the woodshed by BYU at the beginning of the season and lost to a depleted and unmotivated Ohio State to end the season. Sorry, but winning a conference that has a worse bowl record than any other FBS conference isn't something to be proud of. So, as I do with every year's Ute hopium, I'll take it with a grain of salt and enjoy watching their yearly meltdown.

They have much to be excited about next year. Good for them. BYU has much to be excited about as well. Good for us.

Meh, screw utah

3/22/22 11:50am

Fans are by far the biggest losers missing out on BYU v Utah this year

GlutealGuy

3/22/22 11:57am

It’s a crime. BYU and Utah should play every year.

3/22/22 11:58am

Amen and this year especially, 2 top 20 teams with a lot of returning production

GlutealGuy

3/22/22 12:31pm

Its so toxic I wouldn’t mind a 10 year break

3/22/22 3:45pm

Does the toxicity actually lessen when we don't play each other?

Tricky

3/22/22 6:22pm

The toxicity is what makes it great.

3/22/22 6:51pm

Seriously, it’s college football. Taking it so serious is the issue

GlutealGuy

3/22/22 6:55pm

Can’t wait for the podcast saying 12-0 followed by going winless in non conf fbs

GlutealGuy

3/22/22 11:47am

Best thing is that all 5 (4?)of them picked BYU to lose every Pac 12 game. They went 0-60 (or 48) lolol

TEXAS

3/22/22 11:53am

Aren't they sure this is true at the start of every season?

We’ll I’m super jealous of their defense as a byu fan

I'mBatman

3/22/22 11:48am

And they accuse BYU fans of claiming the preseason national championship?

HUGE BYU fan. . . But the 2008 and 2009 seasons had this constant barrage of NC

Zoobieman

3/22/22 8:19pm

Big difference at 6-0 midseason, talking about potentially going undefeated

Ungoy

3/22/22 10:35pm

The Utes do have a potentially good team coming back which is why they are

WallaX2

3/22/22 11:51am

I think they will be very good and the pac12 will be mediocre-bad again. If they

3/22/22 11:52am

Now that they got BYU off the schedule the path is more clear.

3/22/22 11:53am

They won the weakest P12 maybe ever. Lost every other game. Overrated.

CFP contender? Maybe. National fan base? Not really. I do think they beat FL.

neboutefan

3/22/22 12:00pm

With a struggling Florida and a perennially weak PAC 10.2 they could easily

jkell2

3/22/22 12:55pm

OP didn't say "national fanbase" he said "rational fanbase."

3/22/22 1:17pm

Well that's questionable too I suppose!

neboutefan

3/22/22 1:24pm

CFP contender “maybe?” Geez what are you Utes smoking? How about “def not”

andrewg3

3/22/22 3:52pm

Well you'd be hard pressed to find a pre-season ranking that doesn't have them

Found one. But even if I hadn’t found one, preseason top 10 and being a legit

andrewg3

I get it, the rivalry hate taints these kinds of discussions, that’s how fandom

I feel comfortable saying BYU will never be in the college football playoff with

andrewg3

It’s almost as if they are reading all those preseason polls with Utah in Top 10

I'm not a Utah fan, so it's been pretty easy for me to not get excited about

benny1982

3/22/22 12:13pm

It's like you aren't even aware of what fan board you are on

hydrocoug

3/22/22 12:32pm

My point was that it was normal and not “comical” for Ute fans to be excited

Medute

3/22/22 12:40pm

My post was a response to your question.

hydrocoug

3/22/22 5:24pm

Maybe you guys can win a non-conf/G5 game (fbs) this year.

Unibro

3/22/22 12:49pm

Maybe! Hope springs eternal

Medute

CougarTailDevourer

3/22/22 1:19pm

That Utah team was a nightmare at the beginning of the year

Medute

3/22/22 1:51pm

Losing to an Ohio State team with half it's starters out isn't anything to be

CougarTailDevourer

3/22/22 2:43pm

Name a guy on Ohio State that played against Utah in that game

Medute

3/22/22 2:51pm

Those guys all sat the Rose Bowl out and Utah still lost.

slatecoug

3/22/22 3:06pm

His point was that NFL guys sat out - but other NFL guys largely replaced them

krindorr

3/22/22 3:16pm

Yes, but also be careful about the word backup

Medute

3/22/22 3:53pm

Right. And all it goes to show, is that you're not even in the same stratosphere

CougarTailDevourer

3/22/22 3:55pm

I don't think anyone thinks Utah's program is on par with Ohio St

krindorr

3/22/22 4:43pm

There are maybe 4 teams on that level

Medute

3/22/22 5:32pm

He specifically said, "Name a guy on Ohio State that played against Utah in that game, chances are he plays in the NFL"

slatecoug

3/22/22 6:13pm

I stand by my statement

Medute

3/22/22 7:41pm

And now we get the qualifier to try and justify what was clearly an overstatement to make Utah look better

slatecoug

3/22/22 9:16pm

Nope, I said what I said. No qualifier needed

Medute

3/22/22 9:22pm

When someone says a college player is an NFL guy I interpret it different

krindorr

3/22/22 8:22pm

Nice try. But that's some major stretching

slatecoug

3/22/22 9:15pm

At the beginning of the NFL season last year 51 former Ohio St. players were on rosters

slatecoug

3/22/22 9:24pm

Anyone would see it this way. It’s idiotic to think I meant they are in NFL now

Medute

3/22/22 9:24pm

That's what I understood, but just realized he understood it the other way

krindorr

3/22/22 9:45pm

Okay. How about Jaxon Smith Njigba? Last time I checked he's not in the NFL and

CougarTailDevourer

3/22/22 3:12pm

He will play in the NFL, just like nearly every guy who played in that game

Medute

3/22/22 3:54pm

Reading your posts, one would think Utah rolled through a difficult gauntlet to win the PAC 12 title.

slatecoug

3/22/22 5:53pm

You have to be kidding me

Medute

3/22/22 7:43pm

You are kidding yourself

Great rebuttal! It takes a man to admit when they are wrong

When was the last time they beat an FBS non-PAC team? It's been like 3 years and

BYUtka

3/22/22 12:21pm

Utah vs non-PAC FBS teams by year

krindorr

3/22/22 1:00pm

They will likely be the frontrunners to win the PAC-12 this year, but I don't

cougarfan84

3/22/22 12:25pm

To be fair there’s a big difference between NC contender and making the playoffs

GlutealGuy

3/22/22 12:34pm

What we saw from Utah 2019 and Oregon last year is that a 1-loss P12 team likely gets into CFP.

TFL

3/22/22 12:59pm

No doubt, just saying the ceiling for teams like byu and utah is making the CFP

GlutealGuy

3/22/22 1:12pm

Agree 100%. Just being in the conversation is great. Not used to that pragmatism

TFL

3/22/22 1:40pm

Do they have any non-conference FBS teams on the schedule? The PAC games are

BYUtka

3/22/22 12:59pm

Road game at Florida. Who sucks.

elderyoda

3/22/22 1:01pm

Sucks worse than the PAC teams? I guess we'll see... Hard to imagine though.

BYUtka

3/22/22 1:24pm

"Hung out with some yewt fans" that was your mistake.

Honestly, irrationality is sometimes a perk of being a fan

krindorr

3/22/22 1:53pm

Florida was 6-7 last season and has a new head coach.

Fishious

3/22/22 1:52pm

In their defense, if they beat either Florida or SDSU, they are likely 12-1 and

viper

3/22/22 2:23pm

Nah, strength of schedule in pac 12 would keep them out.

valcorger

3/22/22 2:30pm

National Title contender? Their conference is G5 level at the moment.
