Is there any confirmation that they had an open invitation?

Or are people just assuming the Big12 would have taken any team to destabilize the PAC? Imagine if the Big12 took WSU, OSU, Arizona and CU. That’s the most dilutive 4 teams you could possibly take in terms of football.

I’m just not sure the Big12 would have done that.

WSU and OSU should have gone to the Big 12 first and begged to get in, SMU style

I don't recall anyone suggesting that there were open invitations to anyone.

This is right. They had nowhere to “jump” to. Their best play was to pray for

O/U in Vegas is 9.5. That’s probably a good line to measure success

You really think the recent realignment moves by the SEC and B10 weren’t driven

Lots of factors go into realignment

So why isn't everybody chomping to grab Boise if it's results your wanna argue?

Utah has more weeks ranked in the last 10 years than Boise or any Big12 team

Medute

Your program has exactly 2 NY6 bowl wins 0 in the PAC

2 NY6 + 2 BCS + 2 PACconference champs + 4 South Champs. 7/9 last seasons ranked

Nevermind all of that when the PAC was at its lowest point in decades which helped lead to the demise of the PAC

There are a lot of ridiculous hot takes on Cougarboard, as you're well aware.

The "unreasonable' people that point out facts like how bad the PAC was, those types of "unreasonable" people

slatecoug

Mar 28, 3:42pm

So you're saying the metrics that all showed how bad the PAC was during that time were wrong?

slatecoug

All you have to tell me is this, how many non P5 pac wins did Utah have

stansburycoug

Mar 28, 8:11pm

Or how many non PAC P5 wins did they have when they were winning the PAC Div & Conf. titles?

If Y fans say it enough, it will be true - maybe? 🤔

I agree. That's not the ironic part.
