You're only there because Oregon beat a good team early in the season. Now the PAC is looking worse and worse nationally.
It was nothing you guys did. It's unfortunate that some teams get really good crumbs that fall from other's plates while others earn a lot more. Enjoy whatever bowl you end up in.
Nobody south of Bluffdale or north of the belt route cares about the Utah brand. That apathy on a national level will always keep you guys a game or two lower in ranking.
