to re-ignite feelings of being left out unfairly. The problem with that though gets back to your point. Essentially the argument is that attendance BYU should've gotten in ahead of Utah.
Attendance just isn't that relevant.
With Utah sitting at #12, and a fixture in the top 25 over the last several seasons, that argument will fall all on deaf ears anywhere outside this forum. No one will buy an argument Utah isn't worthy to be a P5.
What's intriguing is that Utah is more than pulling it's weight in the attendance category as well.
