football — the players, coaches, trainers, parents, media, fans — anyone... if you asked them what the biggest and most important game of the year was, the answer would almost unanimously be Utah.

It is...but mostly because it's the next game. We go 3-1 and lose to Toledo?

Utah was the biggest game of the season. After that, probably BSU.

BSU over Power 5 schools?

A likely top-15 and undefeated BSU, who is one of the three teams underlined by

Prior to the season starting I would have all of our Power 5 matchups ahead of BSU.

I'd have rated BSU as a better football team than both USC and Tenn prior

Prior to the season, BSU was a likely tougher game than two of those four teams.

P5 is not a useful descriptor of the quality of a game or school.

Rivalry game. At home. Top-15. Season opener. Of course it was the biggest game.

I misunderstood your premise. Yes UU was the most at the beginning, but we've

BSU is way down the list. Behind the P5s and USU. 6th most important.

Thats exactly where I ranked them.

Tell that to Kalani Sitake and his team. Beating BSU is a stated program goal.

Nah. Most moved on after the Tenn game. USC has things righted again.

It is now. But, it took two Ws to get it there.
