I doubt anyone would ever say anything publicly, but you can assume that there were some backdoor conversations.

I’m not sure Wazzu or Oregon state ever had a chance.

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

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

I know you guys don’t like Utah, but this is nonsense

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

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

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

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?
