And they were L,L,L,L,L,W,L in those games. It's not enough just to play good

teams, you have to beat them. Utah could have said the same last year with Oregon, UCLA (x2), Arizona (x3), BYU (maybe a bit of a stretch calling them a good team), ASU (x2), Colorado (x2), and Stanford...and they were arguably in those games more than BYU was theirs. Those road losses were all close outside of UCLA (by 11).

Utah has a better trajectory than BYU this season.

Did you see the game last year? That backed it up pretty simply.
