You guys are just so cute
It's hard to stay upset at your little brother for too long. With all the mistypes and misspellings, it really is like arguing with a 5th grader.

Let's do this:

UTAH BYU

USC (home) Notre Dame (road)
Washington (road) Utah (road)
BYU (home) Boise State (road)
Cal (home) Georgia Tech (road)
Wash St (home) Wash St (home)
UCLA (road) Utah State (road)
Utah State (road) Oregon St (home)
Oregon St (road) Hawaii (home)
Arizona St (road) Idaho (home)
Arizona (home) San Jose State (road)
Colorado (road) Weber State (home)
N. Colorado (home)New Mexico State (home)

4 of the 5 hardest games Utah has this year are at home. All 4 of the hardest games on BYU's schedule are on the road. Utah's schedule top to bottom is filled with MUCH more talented teams (after you get past the top 6 teams on BYU's schedule, it's a joke).

It's not only the teams you play that determine the SOS but WHERE you play them and my point is still valid, after October, when the nation starts focusing on the home stretch to the post season, BYU is irrelevant unless they are undefeated at that point and although only time will tell, I am very VERY reluctant to think that they will be.

As far as the comments you make about the Pac 12 getting Utah its exposure ...DUH! I realize that's the reason and honestly, I don't care. The fact is that Utah matters in the college football landscape. We're not the best team in the country and have no delusions that we don't have to earn everything we get. We EARNED a spot in the Pac 12 with our play and BYU did not.

No conference wants you, no conference cares about you and when it comes to the off-season and pre-season chatter, the BYU discussion begins and ends with "Can they go undefeated?" After that? it doesn't matter. You have no conference, you have no Heisman candidates, you have no relevance.

You think your ESPN contract proves relevance? The only thing it proves is that BYU is one of only 4 Independent teams and has plenty of people who will tune in to watch the game. The size of BYU's fan base is indisputably tied to the size of the Church. If you live in Utah, that may be hard to comprehend, but growing up Mormon outside of Utah, there's no questioning that a large portion of BYU's fan base are fans ONLY because they are Mormon and can relate to the Church-run school even though they may never step foot on the BYU campus.

Oh, and also 54-10. Let's not ever forget that....ever.
