As some of y'all know, I follow both Utah and BYU. And this sounds a LOT like the last decade of the PAC saying "We're not a weak conference, we just have a lot of parity"

Credit to us, we're the only team carrying the conference right now. But the rest of it is pretty rough at the moment. And they're going to drag us down unless more of them start showing out. Parity is great for watching a conference. But it's a death knell when the goal is respect and credibility outside the conference
