Pac-12 vs Mountain West Conference Football: The Failures of Larry Scott

In Pac-12 vs Mountain West Conference football games, one thing is clear: the Pac-12 is underperforming. This lack of dominance needs to be addressed.

Is Utah a misfit in Pac12

I liked the pre-realignment Big 12 alot.

Colorado Buffs have taken a serious hit since realignment.

The Buffs had been mediocre or worse for years before they joined the PAC. It’s

Nat Gas Man

Buffs are a much better culture fit in the P12.

shoganai

Yeah, Boulder and Colorado in general is much more west coast culture than it is Texas/Oklahoma

Goliath

Such a bad take. Utah nearly made the playoff last year

reddead

10/30/20 10:05am

Nearly--as in, getting trounced by over 3 TDs by Oregon.

Goliath

10/30/20 10:19am

By your logic...

DrJazzy

Even if Utah had won, Oklahoma would have jumped them.

Isn't it fun for BYU to be in the playoff discussion right now?

No, they didn't. Getting blown out ≠ "nearly" anything

chilango

We'll see how CB feels about "close but no cigar" if BYU loses this year...

reddead

We're sure to be told about it from the fanbase whose rival isn't even part of the club.

Only took ASU 9 years to get to Rose bowl after joining. What's your excuse?

cosmohio

And SC and UCLA are nowhere near as prominent as they were in the 70's and 80's.

You need new friends. Who tells people their wife was a 5/10 with personality?

The PAC 12 South is not a conference.

It is still worthy of a Huge Parade.

“Rose Bowl Contender runner-up.” Hey- that’s something I guess.

They'll have a parade and claim it's more important than covid guidelines.

if anything it's done more for Utah's program, not less. Obviously

RockyBalboa

It is certainly better than being in the MWC (or Independent).

hrcocoug

10/30/20 7:29am

Pretty sure none of the other P12 programs have people pooping in concourses

RC Vikings

Utah is thriving in the p12. Much to everyone's chagrin.

johnnycarson

10/30/20 7:31am

Check the definitions of "thriving" and "chagrin"--not sure either one fits

Goliath

10/30/20 7:36am

Yeah you're right. Utah fans want back in the mwc.

johnnycarson

10/30/20 9:23am

I don't think that's correct. But it's also completely beside the point above

They have ONE ranked finish in the past 3 years, and a losing bowl record while

Goliath

Nice job cherry-picking. If you go back just one more year, they've gone 2/4

Utah fits for PAC12, lots of members in the West are Ute fans.
