of what I posted.

SMU only had a chance because they pursued like crazy.

It would be easy to say they never had a chance if they hadn't tried and didn't get in.

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

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?
