Washington beating WSU 24 to 3 with most of the 2nd half left to go. A Wash win makes BYU v UT in Vegas more likely.

I thought it decreases it? Makes Utah higher ranked

BlueFrog

This. Higher bowl more likely to take Utah if it holds

Here is what Xenon was guessing and I tend to agree with him....

Xenon who? The CB poster? LOL.

BlueFrog

11/27/15 3:51pm

Yes - the CB poster - his logic seems reasonable to me - do you disagree with it?

HarlemCoug

maybe if Utah wanted to play in Vegas, the conf would help them get there

Utesplease

We understand the Yewts don't want to be be in Vegas (can't say that very often) - so my hope is that they're

Well, in his post he said if WSU wins then that. What if WSU doesn't win?

BlueFrog

Pretty simple here

Ad nauseum

11/27/15 4:12pm

would they really let them jump 2 teams? I havent seen any projection that

Utesplease

11/27/15 4:24pm

But how does that increase Vegas getting Utah?

BlueFrog

11/27/15 4:28pm

Simple. It gives the sun option between wsu/uu. Otherwise, sun must take utah

Ad nauseum

11/27/15 4:31pm

Why would sun have to take Utah with a WSU win?

BlueFrog

11/27/15 4:33pm

Because it takes WSU off the board before sun selects.

it plays into the decision somewhat. A bowl would rather have a ranked 9-3 team

Utesplease

11/27/15 7:50pm

No, increases it.

Ad nauseum

11/27/15 4:10pm

Ok. How? Doesn't it give WSU and Utah the same record?

BlueFrog

11/27/15 4:11pm

Sun can take WSU over Utah pushing Utah to Vegas.

Ad nauseum

11/27/15 4:13pm

Ok. But what makes one think that sun would take WSU over uu?

BlueFrog

11/27/15 4:16pm

Don't know if they would. At least they would have the option.

How is Texas getting to the Vegas Bowl?

pink22

11/27/15 3:47pm

Not according to the Director of the Las Vegas bowl he said that

Upanddown

11/27/15 4:17pm

It actually makes it less likely. I and others have explained it numerous times

11/27/15 4:24pm

Wrong. WSU and uu both win then impossible for uu to be in vegas.

Ad nauseum

11/27/15 4:34pm

Still confused. Break it down for us. With records. Thx.

BlueFrog

From Xenon (see below) - I think the point is a WSU loss gives the Foster a chance to take the loser of UCLA/USC

HarlemCoug

11/27/15 4:43pm

Wow...ok, this is interesting. If Foster can and does take USC/UCLA loser, Utah

11/27/15 5:16pm

When I get on my PC at home I will.

Ad nauseum

11/27/15 4:47pm

Yes, I was wrong, I was looking at overall record, not conf record.

11/27/15 5:07pm

Texas in a bowl?

byu1

11/27/15 4:26pm

Bottom line: WSU loss allows USC/UCLA loser to "jump" Utah in bowl pecking order
