He's just assuming they win the Pac and he's putting the Pac champ in the playoffs.

The Dude Abides The royal we.

Not THAT big of a stretch. I don't think the PAC champ will be in the playoffs but I can understand someone placing them in there for his prediction.

Utah at 4??? I think we’ve reached the silly season

Utah will play one ranked team this year. I think their schedule will

It's not like it couldn't happen. I doubt it will but it's certainly in the realm of possibility.

We should encourage the obnoxious Ute fans who believe this insanity to place

yep. silly. i wouldn't put them higher than 6th

The higher they are hyped, the better it will be for us to beat them.

See Pitt in 1984. But Utah isn't going to be highly ranked. The author is

Which will make our undefeated season even more impressive

Utah won't be Top-5 Week 1, but yes- beating Utah would likely put BYU in the Top-25.

Utah is looking to be good this year. Hopefully we can squash this CFP talk on 8/29/2019

I just hope BYU fans voice their displeasure here instead of replying on twitter

Bama left out but Utah in?

JohnnyComeLately

7/23/19 2:15pm

leaving Bama out is the more surprising thing about his prediction for sure.

The Dude Abides

7/23/19 2:16pm

Bama has to beat LSU aTm and Auburn before beating Georgia in SEC championship to make it

BlueFrog

7/23/19 2:18pm

I would still take the over. When was the last time Bama wasn’t in the final four?

JohnnyComeLately

7/23/19 2:19pm

What is the O/U you are taking the over in?

The Dude Abides

7/23/19 2:20pm

-135; 6.5u(-115)

BlueFrog

7/23/19 2:22pm

Whatever the line needed for Bama to make the Playoff.

JohnnyComeLately

7/23/19 2:24pm

Alabama is -335 to make the playoff and +250 to miss it

USMCdad

If I'm not mistaken, 'Bama has never missed the playoff and Clemson has only missed once.

Byron McNertney

True it’s not

USMCdad

7/23/19 4:10pm

Not really, Bama could lose 2 of those games and still get in if other things

Lance71

7/23/19 2:23pm

not 2

BlueFrog

7/23/19 2:25pm

No. 3-1 and they are a lock. 2-2 and a small chance depending on other teams.

Odds of any Pac 12 champ taking the place of any Big 12 champ are very low

Unless November was removed as a month, I don’t see that happening.

Vegas doesn’t agree, Utah isn’t on most boards to make the playoff

USMCdad

7/23/19 2:43pm

ever since Phil Steele put them as a dark horse playoff contender, there has been a couple of these articles pop up

BlueFrog

7/23/19 2:49pm

Yeah most places had them a +4500 to win it all

VegasInsider gives them the same odds of making the playoff as

Clemson is the only team on that list I'd bet on. I personally think Michigan takes the Big-10 this year. I don't bet

Et Lux in Domino

7/23/19 3:03pm

The only good outcome would be Clemson>Utah. The PAC would be exposed as weak.

Utah at #4 means they went undefeated. And that aint happening.

ESPN thinks they are a sleeper pick for the CFP too. Maybe the pros

Gerald-DeGroot

7/23/19 4:59pm

No. I'm a Ute, and I think it's silly. Do I think Utah could make the Rose Bowl? Yeah, if a few things go our way. But

Et Lux in Domino

7/23/19 5:25pm

Right. But it’s not silly that they could be close.

7/23/19 5:29pm

I just don't foresee Utah winning at both LA and Seattle.
