the long term. The short term advantages are minimal and we don't actually need it to happen as we control our own destiny. It helps our chances to get to the CCG, but lowers our prospects to make it to the CFP if we lose in the CCG, so lessens our chances of making the playoff.
A win vs CU is big for Utah and gives them momentum moving into next year, which would include recruiting. Would rather have their program in the toilet at the end of the year, with coaches and Admin being let go/retired.
So the answer is No. We don't cheer for Utah, because long term it is never better for us that they win.
