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

The correct answer is beat Utah

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

Indy Coug

Sep 4, 7:35am

I think it is.

So do I.

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,

Don't worry, it's a hypothetical, no one is trading anything. The point is,

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

Both fan bases have been acting like the little brother

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

Well, Ute twitter fans and CB users have for sure, but

I'm guessing a lot of those people live in Utah and having to face their Ute neighbor/coworker fans

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.

DubuMfalme

Sep 4, 8:01am

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

Preppy

Sep 4, 8:26am

This! We need to know what bowl we are sacrificing

Amen!

Do you live in Utah? My brother is just as big of a BYU fan as I am,

ybecausethatswhy

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

Indy Coug

Sep 4, 10:03am

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

NonmormonYfan89

Sep 4, 10:20am

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

Indy Coug

Sep 4, 11:09am

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

ldssdl

Sep 4, 11:21am

It’s not just about beating Utah, it’s about the culture here in Utah and recrui

I've never lived in Utah (other than to attend BYU), but I feel

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

If it doesn't make a difference to BYU's bowl eligibility, other factors need to

Welcome to college football. Rivalries mean something. Don’t like it, watch NFL

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

fattycoug

Sep 4, 10:28am

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

byuTX

Sep 4, 10:49am

Yep, that's little brother syndrome right there.

lilpenny

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

Projectoor

Sep 4, 11:11am

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

ldssdl

Sep 4, 11:28am

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

What's the point of winning if we don't beat Utah?

Utah has done a number on some of you

A good portion of my CFB enjoyment involves watching Utah lose

Been a rough couple decades for you considering their record.

Those few wins have sustained me greatly

canuckchuck

They haven't won a bowl game in 7 years

AZ Coug

…and that always brings some extra holiday cheer

Sep 4, 3:19pm

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

311polo

Sep 4, 4:52pm

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

Coug

Sep 4, 1:29pm

This is my answer, too

Hazzard

Sep 4, 1:49pm

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