Utah is still haunted by the beating BSU gave them in Vegas.

No bowl wants Utah. They travel poorly and nobody cares about them.

OliverGranger

12/1/15 4:43pm

i dont think Utah travels poorly. popular CB mantra, but isnt true

BlueFrog

12/1/15 4:56pm

They don't travel well either. Your point?

12/1/15 7:47pm

I think they do travel pretty good

Relative to what?

Relative to what your perception of how they travel

BlueFrog

I don't think they are the worst or best at traveling

he also said the sentiment is there is no way 9-3 U falls past the FF/Sun tier

Stanford, USC, Oregon, Wazzu, UCLA. If that's how it goes, Utah is the 6th selection.

Gentleman Stan

Utah has a better record than 3 of those teams and is ranked

Utesplease

12/1/15 5:32pm

True, but the bowls get to pick It is not locked in.

Utah lost 2 of their last 3 (6 point win over lowly Colorado--the Buffs lost 8 of their last 9), and is without their 2

k2coug

I think the reason was it was a free game

wapiti

^^^ True. BYU got the extra game. It was a great move.
