BYU to beat USC when it comes to strength of schedule. Because humans, not computers vote for people going to the NY6 games, if Utah beats USC next week - and thanks for showing that a good defense can rattle the true freshman - the committee will likely take a position of Utah beat BYU, BYU beat USC, Utah beat USC. That helps. Personally my goal this year is the Rose Bowl, not the playoffs. I don't think this Utah team is there yet.
