If we're ahead of Oklahoma, we have a chance at an NY6. It's no guarantee, since some other things have to happen, but it's the first step. And Utah plays Friday so may give us the answer earlier. But by the same token, if we're behind Oklahoma, then the dream is officially dead
Put another way, would Utah going to the Rose Bowl be worth it to you to keep NY6 hope alive? Or if that's not enough, would it be worth it to get a BYU NY6? Or would you lose a BYU NY6 to stop them from getting one?
