Utah would go in over ASU? And even if they do, why do people care?

Bowl games are just silly these days, and nobody remembers who was in these games a year down the road besides that fan base

Utah pretty much locks up the Rose Bowl with a loss this week.

Not so sure

Oregon still has to beat Oregon State, and Utah again.

Not really. The rose bowl can take whoever it wants in that scenario & I can’t see a 5 loss Utah team getting it.

Rose Bowl could select OSU or ASU if Utah is 8-5

Oregon State? Because they have fans? ASU, maybe, but ASU would need to start

If they beat ASU and Oregon to finish 8-4, sure

I always thought they were obligated to take the next highest ranked team from

Not necessarily. Bowl gets to choose.

RGGeemer

But 9-3 ASU may be ranked above 8-5 Utah, anyway

RGGeemer

11/16/21 2:15pm

Yep. And ASU has to be ranked significantly higher. ASU would need Oregon to beat Utah handily both times.

The Rose Bowl isn't obligated to select the runner-up if Oregon makes the CFP

Would be a highly entertaining day if that happened

Utah will expose Oregon this weekend as the mediocre team they are.

This is actually pretty likely

Utah lost to Oregon State so not sure they will

Turnpike Lane

I think Oregon might lose to them, too

RGGeemer

11/16/21 1:43pm

I think Oregon State continues the trend next week. Oregon isn't THAT good.

They're not but good enough to beat Utah and Oregon State, Probably will split those. So Rose Bowl.

I don't know much about them other than what I read here - but they always

I thought so a couple weeks ago, then they went and struggled against AZ.

Duke Silver

I chalk that up to overlooking the opponent. Also, Utah plays up in RES.

bleedsblue

11/16/21 1:44pm

You're forgetting how they somehow lose to Colorado too. hahaha

8-5 Utah would still have to picked over 9-3 ASU

BYU Fan

11/16/21 1:46pm

Assuming ASU wins out. OSU might get em

RGGeemer

11/16/21 1:51pm

The only thing I do know is that I will not be watching any Yewt games

fulano

Sure but will you watch the Oregon game this week?

Turnpike Lane

11/16/21 2:09pm

Nope.
