Seriously? Have BYU fans accepted the role of "Little Brother" now? Jarom Jordan
... leading the way it seems.
The results of that poll are that 70% of BYU fans (the 450 who've voted on Twitter at least) would take a guaranteed win over Utah than a guaranteed win over LSU. Seriously?
The poll is not saying that one is a guaranteed win and the other is a guaranteed loss. We just get to pick one win that's guaranteed.
I have to strongly agree with Spencer Linton and be in the minority on this.
ESPN's FPI gives us a 9.6% chance of winning the game at NRG vs LSU.
ESPN's FPI gives us a 57% chance of winning the gave at LES vs Utah.
So we are SIX times more likely to win the game vs Utah than LSU. It's at home, it's early in the year, they lost TONS of NFL talent ...
If we beat LSU we will be 2-0 and ranked ... take that to the bank.
Look, I know that Utah's a major Monkey on the back and it's messing with CougarNation's mind (in state bragging rights, recruiting battles, etc ...), but we are acting like little brother if we would rather guarantee a win vs Utah than vs LSU.
Feel free to persuade me otherwise.

For those that live in Utah, and have to deal w/ Utes on a daily basis, I don't blame that result. For those living
