They weren't NC and they weren't even their own conference champions.
This is how BYU fans sound criticizing Utah. Utah beat #3 Oregon and #4 USC in consecutive years. Blocked their playoff run.
Then lost in the Rose Bowl to teams they were playing toe-to-toe with until QB1 left the game.
The BYU argument is that it's such an embarrassment to lose to these teams, that the big wins don't count, the conference championships shouldn't be celebrated and Utah should shamed.
It's so funny to me. It lack such awareness.
Conf championship queston, IDK. Have they even played anyone that could qualify?
They play 10 conference games — so limited opportunity. Most years they've played BYU who isn't in a conference. The last P5s that have completed home and homes with Utah were Michigan and Pitt. Both won their conferences last year at least.
But Utah one both ends of the one and one. I suspect Utah will split with UF. Utah hasn't lost an OCC game at home since 2006.
