anxious about a post-TX/OU world and having to compete every year with P10 and ACC for CFP berths and first round bye.

Getting the P10 to fold was critical...Utah was a hold out. I get the frustration but they started attacking Utah football. Rose bowl losses and yada yada.

That's fair game...but maybe from the elite P2 standpoint. Maybe TCU. Maybe.

Schools like KU and TTU or Baylor throwing smack, doesn't resonate, like I said.

It's like Utah guys talking basketball smack. Why bother? Just makes you look bad.

Utah came and became a proud member. Turns out there was always mutual interest and respect in the background.

I think the process as worked out well for utah. Being hated or the villain in any capacity is only going to bring more excitement, dialogue and overall enrich the season. I can't wait.
