Talent wins most of the time. Look at Utah vs Oregon, USC, UW and Texas. In all those games, the talent gap was very evident.
You can have the scrappy underdog all you want. I want talent. USC is a coach away from being Alabama. BYU and Utah? They are an eternity from being as good as USC when USC sucks.
Utah is vastly more talented team. That is why they will win this fall. No jinxes, no curses, no "god hates us". Utah is more talented. Sometimes the less talented team wins, but that isn't the norm and shouldn't be expected.
When the more talented team wants to win, they do.
