you are a disaster at the QB position and you graduate a ton of talent on defense. You will also see guys leave early who probably shouldn't which has been the case over the past few years. Just because the record is better, does not make it a better team. Giving up a 21 point lead to the worst team in the conference at home is more defining than close losses to decent teams. So is the mountain Division of the MWC the best, because that is pretty much the Pac 12 south as I see it. The best wins out of conference for the entire division were Virgina and Texas (hmm sound familiar). There is only one really good team in the Pac 12 and they scored at will against the Utes once they finally showed up to play. Keep telling yourself that division is so great, it doesn't make it true.
