In most of the P5 conferences, only 1-2 teams are ever making a run at CFB.

The rest of the teams are just competing for the odd conference championship and good bowls.

We would be in the latter group if they had taken us, not the former.

The Pac-12 made a huge mistake not taking BYU. If they took BYU, BYU would have solidified itself as the top team in

I’m sure they’re kicking themselves after our 26 point loss to Washington yesterday

Missing point of OP. He is saying that would not have happened if we were P-5

Utah and Colorado certainly never lose to other PAC teams either. 🤔

P12 struggling, still has 6 teams in top 25, and considering it's a conference

They only have that because the rankings are bias. Tennessee played us tougher than USC and they are ranked.

Who cares about top 25. They are going to go yet another year without a team in

Point is, P12 is down lately, and especially this year. Is great to see. BYU

The PAC has like 6 teams in the top 25. They aren’t dying. Yet.

Down to four now. Sagarin has just two.

They didn't make the mistake. It's a shame for us that we're not in.

The “you almost betray your religion” is a funny comment. Nice job.

I believe the Pac-12 made a mistake, too, but they don't seem to think so.

The west plays good football. It’s just not good enough to compete.

If the Pac-12 would have taken BYU instead of Utah. Things would have been very different for BYU.

The issue is that it divides a state whose population is not large enough to have two p-5 teams. Utah's population is

tawillin

You forgot. BYU has a national fanbase!

lbmango

9/23/19 7:29am

I agree. This is my point. BYU has the ability to be a powerhouse if it was the only P-5 team in Utah AND its national

Oregon only has 4.1 M population. Both of their P5

Tsisquan

That is a perfect example. Oregon State is not a P-5 program. They are in a p-5 conference but will never have the fans

OSU belongs in the MWC.

boscatar

Meh. North Carolina has 4. Iowa, Oklahoma, and Kansas each have 2.

boscatar

9/23/19 8:16am

I think this kind of proves the point. None of those programs are powerhouses in football other than Oklahoma. However,

tawillin

9/23/19 3:41pm

You said Utah isn't big enough for two P5 programs...not two powerhouse programs

boscatar

Iowa is a consistent contender. And Iowa State still gets 50K+ per game.

The PAC's best move is to get into the Central time zone with Texas. HOWEVER,

Huh? How do you select a champion? You're basically suggesting 3 divisions.

Top-2 meet for the CCG. Not rocket science.

We tried this with the WAC. There's a reason BYU/Utah left to form the MWC.
