RE: 9+ win average in the CFP era is phenomenal. I don't know that loss counts

I think the point is that prior to this season your loss count DID matter. I recognize the OP paints with a broad brush but the loudest U fans I know talk as though they have been in the playoffs every year when in reality they were the worst P5 champion with the worst record of the 5, and STILL acted like they were on par with Ohio State and Alabama.

This is such an odd question by him. Ute fans take the same pleasure

Even after all this time they've never forgotten or forgiven the fact that BYU owned them for almost 25+ seasons
