Do I really have to root for Utah on Saturday?

Never root for Utah.

You don't have to root for Utah to win, just ISU to lose.

CougarTwins

^This is the correct answer

3:16pm

Love it. Great way to look at it.

The rule is if it directly benefits BYU then yes. Good things for BYU>bad things

Zerigke Ally Zerigke

3:16pm

We should be BYU fans first, not Utah haters first.

CougarTwins

3:16pm

Correct

Zerigke Ally Zerigke

IIRC we made fun of utah for back-dooring into PAC10/12/whatever titles/Rose

Why do we want ISU to lose?

HeyU

3:16pm

If we win and ISU loses we clinch a spot in Arlington

Zerigke Ally Zerigke

3:17pm

in the event we lose again, we don't lose a tiebreaker to ISU.

CougarTwins

3:17pm

Unless we lose to asu in which we case we are out I believe whether isu loses or

we would need ASU to lose to UA in that case.

I think that game is a tossup. It's a rivalry game and in Tucson.

Zerigke Ally Zerigke

3:22pm

If asu is playing for the ccg. No way they lose that game

BYU '80

3:29pm

Arizona is going to want to ruin their shot at the CCG just as bad.

Zerigke Ally Zerigke

3:48pm

If we lose to ASU and ISU loses @ Utah

Zerigke Ally Zerigke

3:20pm

If byu beats asu and loses to Houston byu is in the ccg if ISU loses again

BYU '80

3:18pm

If BYU loses to ASU and ASU loses to Arizona, we get in if Iowa State loses too

BYUFootballisBack

3:20pm

If they lose to KSU then we don't care if they lose to Utah, but they play Utah

BYUFootballisBack

3:21pm

No. You have to root for BYU to win out. We control our destiny. We don't need Utah.

Skeptical Optimist

3:16pm

Whitt will probably throw the game because he knows a win by Utah could help BYU.

3:17pm

My thoughts exactly.

Zerigke Ally Zerigke

3:18pm

Does it really matter? Either we win Saturday and it is taken care of or we lose

Sparkling Delirium

3:17pm

Good point.

Pollster

3:18pm

We’d need Arizona to beat ASU for it to matter

cougaman

3:18pm

It "could" matter if ASU beats us and loses to Arizona, but also might not

BYUFootballisBack

3:22pm

I'm not going to because I know how to Rivalright.org

BlueFever

3:19pm

Just root for ISU to lose.

LifeLongLakerFan

3:21pm

Not really just gives BYU a little more breathing room if they lose to UU or KSU
