Unfortunately, pre-season polls made a HUGE difference this year when non-conference play was eradicated and the P5s only played 5-8 games.

Has no credibility with Utah at 11.

I believe Utah coaches felt the hole created by the loss of Jordan and by the RBs leaving

And BYU lost there best player who is a top 10 draft pick.

He meant 11th in the PAC 12. Small oversight on his part.

Wow. I know they’ve been top 25 quite a bit but they don’t have any

Kuithe is going pro so he's not even going to be there next year

SingleStrapBackpack

1/11/21 5:51pm

I thought he said he was coming back?

He announced he’s returning. Every pro prospect has said they’re coming back.

OK, I thought I heard he declared for the draft. My bad.

Wow. 11 is too high. However, I would expect Utah to get a lot of preseason hype. Like 2019. I bet UU starts

They are going to be legit next year

Devin Lloyd and Kuithe are coming back, Ritchie probably staying instead of mish

“Larry’s gonna revolutionize college football.” Uh, didn’t happen. If anything,

So who do you think would have won this year if we had played each other?

Game 1 BYU, Game 6 Utah easily

CallingDingo

1/11/21 5:39pm

Wasn’t BYU’s game 6 before Utah’s game 1?

They are not independent this year.

coldcoug

1/11/21 9:58pm

Of course they aren't. But they are every other year, including 2021 (presumably) and that's what this post is about.

Which is why I made the statement. He ranks them higher in 2021.

I'm not anti-Utah, but really? New QB? Down your best player on O? Pac12 weak? 5

I can't see that even if the PAC 12 isn't the first conference to hold out until November.
