It’s also interesting that every CFP selection but one already has won NCs.
The only exception was Oregon, and that’s when Chip Kelly had established Oregon as a powerhouse over the course of years.
When all is said and done these nuances matter when you’re selecting for only 4 spots.

PSA that Utah has not beaten a single team currently ranked in either major poll

Bingo! Ding ding ding! Utah has beaten a bunch of mediocre teams this year

So should we be proud of our mediocrity since it hurts the yewts?

USC and UW probably both get ranked at 8-4

You say that like it makes a case for your inclusion

They probably won’t get in. But you don’t understand the fascination? A Utah team that is knocking on

Oh I understand the fascination. But it’s a fantasy land.

They'll never understand, living in that bubble of a state. Utah is a nobody

Lol. You haven’t done the math.

You mean the math that Utah wouldn’t crack the top 4 of the SEC? And people

Utah is a threat to make the playoff. You know it. I can sense your angst about it. Lol.

Each POTD your post got is from someone who has a ton of angst about where Utah sits in the standings right now.
Virginia Ute
11/16/19 8:31pm
So, your best reason for Utah's inclusion is that BYU fans have "angst"?

I'm asking for a reason. Not a break down of what you think will happen

I don’t know why they are ranked 7 right now. All that matters is that they are.
Virginia Ute
11/16/19 9:15pm
Given their SOS I agree w/ you: 7 is too high. And, 7 is not 4 or less.
BleedCougarBlue2
11/16/19 10:09pm
‘7 is not 4 or less’.
DocPimp
11/17/19 5:41am
And each of your counter arguments is an emotional one rather than anything
ldssdl
11/16/19 8:43pm
So in case you didn’t notice, Utah is already ranked 7th, so let’s start there.
Virginia Ute
11/16/19 8:47pm
It’s not 2008, Bama and Utah don’t belong in the same sentence.
ldssdl
11/16/19 9:01pm
Let me make this easy for you: Utah has to move up 3 spots. They have to win out.
Virginia Ute
11/16/19 9:13pm
Now let’s review what a PAC12 championship is worth.
ldssdl
11/16/19 9:27pm
Doesn’t matter. It will be a win over a top 6 or 7 team. Doesn’t matter what P12 has done against OOC at this point.
Virginia Ute
11/16/19 9:29pm
What ship has sailed? It’s easy to put Utah highly ranked now.
ldssdl
11/16/19 9:42pm
Kind of a dumb argument - you can make the same argument about the B12?
DocPimp
11/16/19 9:50pm
The Big12 is 6-4 against OOC P5 schools.
ldssdl
11/16/19 9:59pm
I don’t buy the blue blood argument. Otherwise no way would they have Utah at #7
DocPimp
11/16/19 10:05pm
All I know is in pretty much every model, Utah and Oregon getting a ton
DocPimp
11/16/19 9:54pm
Remind us who Oklahoma and Baylor beat in their OOC games...

But he lives out East!!! So clearly he knows.

It’s easy to be right when you can just make up arguments.

Pac12 will have multiple teams in top 25 by the end of the season.
DocPimp

8 straight of what? It’s 9 now.
ldssdl
11/16/19 9:28pm
BYU has been solid. Teams lose to bad teams all the time...
DocPimp
11/16/19 9:46pm
Give credit where it’s due. I hate Utah and hope they lose every game
D.T. Survivor
11/16/19 9:18pm
What credit? They haven’t beaten a ranked team.
ldssdl
11/16/19 9:31pm
They have beaten only 2 bowl eligible teams so far.
crazY
11/16/19 9:40pm
Still tougher than BYU’s 1984 schedule.
CrimsonCardinal
11/16/19 9:43pm
But Utah won't get a trophy for it.
crazY
11/16/19 9:45pm
It’s a no brainer for Utah fans...
DocPimp
11/16/19 9:48pm
Because you actually have to beat other good teams to earn a trophy now.
CrimsonCardinal
11/16/19 9:49pm
So, Utah shouldn't get a trophy this season
SUAVO
11/16/19 9:50pm
Correct, unless they beat Oregon and two other playoff teams.
CrimsonCardinal
11/16/19 9:57pm
Hahahahahahahahahahaha they won't beat Oregon.
crazY
11/16/19 9:58pm
They may not win any trophy. Even a bowl trophy

All could be true - we haven’t earned anything yet.

One final note: Bama, Georgia, and LSU could all finish with one loss.

I legit wonder what BYU would have done with Utah's schedule this year.
MaxxPower
11/19/19 9:04pm
Utah would almost certainly be undefeated or have 1 loss v. BYU's schedule.
displacedute
11/19/19 9:09pm
David Locke gave a stat on his podcast a week or two ago about travel. Essentially
MaxxPower
11/19/19 9:13pm
The only two plausible losses are Boise and USC.
displacedute
11/19/19 9:19pm
I understand your confidence, but you can't have it both ways.
MaxxPower
11/19/19 9:32pm
Utah struggles at the Coliseum. We're better against SC in Salt Lake.
displacedute
11/19/19 10:22pm
Exactly. Tennessee wouldn't be a sure fire win either.
HONOMO
11/19/19 11:06pm
Also can't make the travel argument going both ways. You claim you'd beat USC at home but that
Soupie
11/19/19 9:41pm
Game wasn't close?
displacedute
11/19/19 10:21pm
Yes and USC was ahead for 3 quarters of the game & never trailed. Care to address the travel double standard?
Soupie
11/19/19 10:31pm
You lost to two TERRIBLE teams. Utah would not have.
displacedute
11/19/19 10:56pm
I'd say 8-2
HONOMO
11/19/19 11:06pm
Yep
MaxxPower
11/19/19 11:16pm
That's my best case scenario too. Think if Utah starts with 4 P5 in a row traveling to Tenn, they start 2-2
