Utah - a team that has yet to finish above 6th place after 4 seasons in the PAC is ahead of BYU football? And in those 4 years they have finished the season ranked ahead of BYU exactly once. Then you call Utah State our "rival". Really - you think USU is our rival? Sure there is a state rivalry, but they are not BYU's rival. Why would you even say that? And just maybe the reason is because USU has been good recently (which is true) - not that BYU is bad.
When that is what you are presenting as your evidence how do you expect anyone to take the rest of your post seriously?
To fit your theme - I have a tough time listening to the Bronco haters when they use "data points" like that.
