is that BYU fans were adamant Utah could never succeed in the P12. The whole "wyoming" or WSU of the P12.
Instead, Utah has been close to the top for several years. Absolutely dominant in the south.
That's part why I enjoy the assumption Utah will struggle in the Big 12.
All that said, BYU almost beat OU (again) and took Ok St to over time in Stillwater. BYU could easily be 6-6 or 7-5 with Tx and OU on the slate. Replace those with CU, ASU, etc and BYU fared much better than P12 Utah did in the early going.
