Correct me if I'm wrong but this was your post...
"First of all (A)there is no such thing as a BCS conference anymore, (B)being in the Pac 12 or any other former BCS conference doesn't help you get into the National Championship. So (C)give me ONE good reason why BYU is "drowning in obscurity". (D)BYU's SOS is rated higher than Utah's, so actually we are MORE relevant than you."

So, clearly I had addressed point C and D (D I'll come back to since you brought it up again)

I figured both A and B were such clearly obvious
A - No such thing as a BCS Conference. Fine, my mistake. Substitute BCS with major and you still get the point. Utah is in a major conference vying for the Pac 12 Championship spot while BYU is playing the WAC.

B - As aforementioned, Utah is relevant at the END of the race while BYU has to hope to go undefeated through October in dominating fashion in order to remain afloat. You think you'll stay in the top 4 even being undefeated when Boise and Utah couldn't do it with their horrible November schedules a few years back?

C - Don't wanna beat a dead horse but the Big East schools get more media attention than the Y and that's not even close to the attention that Utah gets being in the trendy Pac 12 (2012 #1 overall pick, 2013 favorite to win the Title in USC, Oregon's awesomeness...nuff said)

D - SOS as an overall rating is one thing but once the season starts to play out, BYU is done in October. That's it. You think there's going to be 1 shred of attention paid to BYU in November when they play Idaho, @San Jose State and top off their amazing season @New Mexico State??? Is New Mexico State your rival now? That's cool. If you lose 1 game, your season is over, just like the MWC. If Utah loses only 1 game early in their season and win out (including the Pac 12 CCG, this of course is hypothetical) they are still in the hunt if there are other 1 loss teams. BYU cannot say that. BYU is only relevant at the same time each season - before it starts, in the minds of its own fans and Trevor Matich.

How did that exposure work out for you when you got taken out behind the woodshed by Utah last year? If that exposure was so great, tell me a game showed on Prime Time ESPN that will stand out to the Joe Shmoes watching.
