Play Best Football of the Season In Order to Beat Them.”
Utah’s presence in the conference continues to elevate the rest of the schools to a new level. But, it’s the Utes destiny to make the playoffs this year and will host a first round game. But, we’ve heard that the Big 12 Commissioner was worried about the perception of the conference if Utah just came in and dominated from the start. So, he asked Utah to lose a couple early games in order to spark excitement and hope into the rest of the conference—hoping that the other schools can become unburdened from what has been. Utah was against this approach until they recognized that they could lose two games to former pac 12 rivals ASU and UofA to continue to show the power of the former Conference of Champions.
