Intervention Needed
I absolutely think you should expect to be in the CFP. Get all of your fellow ute fans to have the same expectations.
It'll be more fun to see the weeping and excuse making when the season is over.

How in the world does Utah end up with a top 25 preseason ranking every single year even after losing their last 3 bowl

You can lose games and still be consider among the top 25 teams in the country.

Or you can lose 5 games and end unranked.

That is true. But you referenced a single game in each of 3 seasons as a reason to not rank a team.

You weren’t impressed by Utah squeaking by crappy Baylor last year?

Because the National Pundits get a lot of their info by calling the local media

Opt outs, injuries, NFL draft…bowls aren’t viewed as indicators

Bowl Games aren't the only reasons Utah doesn't deserve to be ranked.

Hold on ... they've lost their last 5 bowl games not 3.

Preseason rankings are more a vote of confidence in a coach than anything else.

Come on. Losing to Northwestern while only scoring 7 points is elite level stuff.

Are you kidding me? Name a program that has had more impactful losses the last
Mr. Rumsfield
Feb 15, 12:02pm
Because they only lose games because of injury and everyone will be healthy soon

They usually have really good seasons and they were playing their backup QB all of last year. It’s not unsurprising

Were they though?

Yes. If Rising was available, he would have been their starter.

Preseason polls exist for one sole purpose.

Because they lie about their roster.

EVERYONE except CBers expect Utah to be good. If no one agrees with you, it

"EVERYONE" huh? Interesting definition of the word. If the utes don't win the conference and finish at least #10 in the

The only programs with that standard is like Michigan or Georgia.

Just saying ... evidently "EVERYONE" says they're a shoe in for the B12 championship.

"Everyone" thought they would be good last season. How'd that work out for you?

Answer me this, do you really believe you'll be close on D to this year to last

Small step back. Bishop and Ellis were special. Lots return and will be better

The disconnect between BYU fans and...everyone else is fascinating though

Only if by everyone else you mean the handful of people who have AP votes

Mandel, Athlon, Klatt — Vegas has Utah at 9.5 wins
TFL

Forgive me if I don't put much stock in Mandel's predictions anymore

Feb 15, 8:25pm
Vegas has Utah winning twice as many games as BYU. Let’s hope
TFL
Feb 15, 10:45pm
Utah may very well win twice as many games as us.
tacallaway
Feb 15, 11:03pm
Nah…BYU needs to, and should, win at least six games.
TFL

Early lines are very likely to change. Let's see what they are when we're closer to the season starting.

I believe there will be another small rush of transfers after spring camp

Well, remember Utah has been ranked at some point every season for 10+ years. 4 NY Bowls

Already prepping the excuses I see. Good call. I guess you're backing off the "roll through the B12" talk.

I never said roll through. However, the BYU guys who claimed Utah

Have you been hibernating? Missed all of the ute fans' predictions for the utes to "roll through the B12" I guess.

By and large Utah's preseason rankings match their end of the year rankings quite closely
krindorr

True. 23 players on the 2 deep missing games will do that.
