What's the point of winning if we don't beat Utah?
That's like 95% of the fun as a BYU fan.
If we were competing for national titles or something, that would be a different story. But we're not.

You guys would rather trade away two wins? Seriously? Get a grip.

The correct answer is beating Utah isn't worth selling away two wins

I think it is.

I tend to agree with a caveat. This is all hypothetical anyway, so I'll make it

Two extra wins may not help BYU long term if Utah still looks better than BYU,

We've been a messed up fanbase for a while now regarding the yewts. It's sad.

Plenty of yewt fans are just small people. And it reflects in the way they are fans. I don't think many of them are

Is there a massive difference between B12 bowl arrangements for a 9-3 team and 7-5 team? Perhaps my mind is still in the

It's probably the difference between an AAC/C-USA team and Big10/SEC team

Mediocre season versus ending the season ranked? Seems a no-brainer to me.

I can see that rationale of BYU being ranked, otherwise Utah getting to the playoffs (potentially) is awful for BYU

Not this moment, but I lived in Utah for 12 years of my adult life, including suffering through a losing streak to Utah

Living in Utah 12 years isn’t the same as growing up here my friend. I’m 35

I lived in SLC during the losing streak. I remember all 34-31 nonsense. I had the Ute coworkers, ward members, etc.

You may not care, but what about recruits? I think a strong case can be made it

I'm indifferent on the poll, but the Yewts hurt us regularly in recruiting. It's more important to beat them.

Does 9-3 BYU put them in the CCG against Utah in that scenario?

I’m sure your programming won’t allow you to consider that not all wins are equal

Yep, that's little brother syndrome right there.

Seriously, stop cowering in fear over having to face your Ute neighbors

It’s not about cowering in fear. I live out east where yewt fans don’t exist.

Beating is also important as you need to regain fans and recruits in the state

Op didn't say only bowl losses, he said losses. Utah's got a pretty good record.

Because there is almost zero difference between 3rd place and 7th place... but beating Utah... is still beating Utah
Coug

This is my answer, too

What if 3rd place is 8-4 and heading to a bowl and 7th is 5-6 staying home?
