Teams above .500 or better, Utah has more wins with a substantially higher MOV.

Honestly Finebaum’s comments about Utah and the playoff are making me hope they

Well you are about as wrong as you can be on this. Utah should not be in. It is that simple.

Yep, Oklahoma has the better resume

Your vote doesn’t count. Neither does mine. Utah’s next in line in the polls.

No they won't. Big 12 champ will be in. And Utah will lose to Oregon

No one cares about brand or ratings, its because Oklahoma's resume is better

I'd actually argue they do care about brand and ratings. But in this case,

Finebaum clearly cares about brand and school names.

Luckily, he has no impact at all on the committee though

Every G5 and most of P5 should be rooting for Utah to get in. BYU, Okie and Baylor fans have exemptions from that.

If Cal or something was in Utah's position right now I would definitely want

If both utah and Oklahoma win, utah should be left out because they have fewer

Did you feel this way when BYU got screwed in 1996?

I’ll answer for him.

How did BYU get screwed that year?

They had a great team. Should have had a higher stakes bowl game.

I'm ok with them being left out. They are part of the entitled system. I'm fine if they are treated like crap.

It makes me want to cheer for Oregon, Baylor, and LSU

No way. I don't give a crap about some really good P5 team sticking it to some other P5 team.

Utah has beaten zero ranked teams, lost to the only ranked team they played, and

Right or wrong (not for me to decide)...

DocPimp

12/4/19 3:01pm

Sure, but they've also pummeled almost every team they've played. Oklahoma has

When has politics NOT been involved in anything regarding college football

IdahoCoug

12/4/19 3:18pm

Finebaum's take is ridiculous. He's beclowning himself. I don't root for the Utes, and I don't know whether they

Did you watch the whole segment, or just one small clip? Have you ever listened

IdahoCoug

I'm addressing a specific line of argument he's putting forth, not everything he's ever said on the subject. I think

It's always okay to ridicule Utah.

IdahoCoug

12/4/19 3:10pm

That's the point I'm trying to make. Oklahoma could very well be the more

Duke Silver

12/4/19 3:12pm

Oklahoma's a better team, with a better schedule. Sucks for the Utes, but true.

If it was BYU, I'd be appalled. But it is Utah so I like it.

I'd love for the whole system to collapse. TV ratings and strength of schedule

I can't see how it negatively effects BYU.

Biggest thing is still going undefeated.

Not sure I agree with this argument.

I want to believe this, but the Finebaum's of the world would REALLY be
