The Pac 12 South Champion?
If the Jazz were to tie for first place of the Midwest Division, but lose the season series between the other team they tied with, they would be considered the Midwest 2nd place team. So how is Utah considered a Co-Champion, and then hangs up a banner, when they lost the tie breaker and UCLA played in the Pac 12 championship game? Heck, they were not ever the 3rd best record in the the Pac 12 conference, but they were the 2nd best team in 1/2 of the Pac 12 conference, so I guess that is worthy of a banner. BYU should hang up a banner for winning the Western Independent Championship for the years that BYU had the 2nd best record of the Independents, and we should hang up an Independent National Champions banner, for the year that we beat out all of the other independent teams, and had the best record

As for Utah and Colorado being invited into the Pac 12, would Utah fans please admit that the truth, and recognize that it was literally to appease the 2 states, whose senators and Attorney Generals were threatening anti-trust lawsuits against the former BCS, and their lack of a playoff system? Who were the 2 main Attorney Generals leading the charge? The main ones on the lawsuit, were ex-AG Shurtleff, and the Attorneys General from Colorado, Texas, Hawaii, and Idaho. He also gets President Obama and Senator Hatch to come out and threaten bringing the BCS before Congress, after they won't release their state records from Alabama and other state universities that are benefiting from the prior system. http://www.espn.com/college-football/news/story?id=4030992 A few other politicians from states whose teams are getting screwed over by the BCS, such as Boise St, get involved, and the Head of Fiesta Bowl committee gets caught for taking massive amounts of bribery money, and suddenly the BCS committee and NCAA knows they are about to be audited and suddenly they are not arrogant, and will do anything to get this case to stop. Hawaii and Boise St get invited to a BCS bowl, and out of nowhere, the BCS starts talking how a playoff system is the right way to go.
Funny what happens when your state's Attorney General threatens an Anti-trust lawsuit, threatens with the President, to bring them in front of Congress; and then threatens to file a court order to have them release their financial records audited and released to the public, because they have received federal funding. http://www.sunjournal.com/utah-ag-threatens-investigation-bcs/
Ex AG Shurteffs was quoted:, "I will present the material and a draft of the lawsuit to the meeting of the state attorneys general in June, and will be ready to file suit shortly thereafter," Shurtleff said. That meeting is in Colorado Springs, Colo." (Notice where the meeting was supposed to be held? hmmmm) Suddenly the BCS is disbanded, the P-5 is created with a fake 4 team playoff system, and the U of U, Colorado ( what was their record at the time?), and TCU; are suddenly invited into the big boys club. Then that Anti-trust lawsuit, which was ironclad, suddenly disappears because now it didn't have legal ground? http://www.sgrlaw.com/newsletter/newsletters/nonprofit_news/winter2013/2120-2/
Utah fans should be thanking Senator Hatch(he would never change his mind,.He held solid against Trump's disrespect of women and immigrants, for a solid week or 2), and ex Attorney General Mark Shurtleff.(he is really ethical and would never accept a bribe, right? http://www.standard.net/News/2015/09/28/Trial-set-for-ex-Utah-attorney-general-in-pay-to-play-case) He would never accept the use of millionaire and billionaires' vacation homes, private jets, vehicles, vacations, and cash donations to his campaign and personal accounts. I am sure that he never took a dime from the BCS, because they would never bribe anyone.
