And yet all the polls and rankings put BYU well ahead of Utah. Strange.

Beating a team doesn't make you better than them overall. Just in those 60 minutes. That's why they don't just start the year with a playoff... teams have up and down days.

I'll admit Utah has BYU's number the last four years, but I won't concede that they are the better team overall until they have a consensus higher ranking.

Here's the best question to ask about

4/12/14 1:06pm

I'm trying to understand why people care.

4/12/14 1:19pm

BYU still has more fans in the State of Utah but...

No bowl games, new OCs every year, losing record. Yeah, best in Utah.

Beat all the other teams in Utah. Yeah, best in Utah.

4/12/14 2:10pm

And the Nets just beat the Heat.

This is a terrible comeback considering the Nets best the Heat all 4 times they

Exactly my point. Four in a row.

That was just an awful, awful comparison.

4/12/14 3:12pm

Better than Stanford, too. This is great stuff.

This year they were. See scoreboard.

4/12/14 2:31pm

It's called an upset when a crappier team beats the better team.

mikecito

4/12/14 3:17pm

Utah over Stanford was an upset. You are correct there.

4/12/14 3:20pm

BYU was favored in all four games by Vegas.

mikecito

4/12/14 3:23pm

The spread in Vegas on those games was not large enough to qualify as an upset.

4/12/14 3:37pm

Ok, I educated myself on it a little more.

mikecito

4/12/14 4:16pm

No, I will not agree to disagree.

4/12/14 7:24pm

Well kindly define exactly what the spread has to be to be an upset.

mikecito

4/12/14 8:12pm

Utah/Stanford may have been an upset. 9/12, 4 n a row makes Utah the better team

4/12/14 3:26pm

I don't think it's luck. I think Utah prepares for the rivalry much better.

Those rankings are subjective. Winning a game is objective.

4/12/14 3:42pm

Personal attacks don't make you smarter, nor more right.

mikecito

4/12/14 4:22pm

Do you know the definition of 'cherry pick?'

4/12/14 7:28pm

I'd rather not get my education from Utah. Thanks for offering though.

mikecito

4/12/14 8:18pm

Such a bizarre way to look at this.

4/12/14 3:52pm

Both games within one score. "Clearly" isn't the word I would use.

mikecito

4/12/14 4:31pm

ALL the polls and rankings?

tibbyss09

4/12/14 7:56pm

Yeah - I was wrong on that one.

mikecito

4/12/14 8:19pm

Easy comeback for them though is they couldn't care less about independence
