"Utah moves up after beating Oregon again, but it stays behind BYU because the Utes have more losses and lost to BYU. C’mon people. These games matter."

Head to head doesn’t matter. It was a coaching mistake early in the season

It's amazing how much better Utah looked once they finally got to the soft part of their schedule.

The committee excused Utah's loss to BYU by saying they are better now after the

makes sense, forget about Cam Rising's loss to unranked Oregon St in late Oct

Or their recent lackluster wins over bottom-feeders UA and CU

Why didn’t they just change the loss to a win then?

Wow, those of some high flying leaps of logic.

Yes because Cam playing QB would have changed Utah getting owned on both sides of the Line of Scrimmage

Do you have an Athletic subscription? Worth it?

Just got it a couple weeks ago. Haven't started reading a ton but it was pretty cheap so I guess.

Totally worth it for me. Have had a sub for 2 years now. But I am into Seattle

With few games for comparison, head to head should be a major factor

Look, the exclusion from the NY6 is frustrating, but not surprising...

A voice of reason is refreshing. Seems hard to come by nowadays.

His opinion is just as valid as anyone else's. Wish he was on the committee.

All games w/o All-Star Rising were non-winnable contests, kind of like non-committable offers. They don't count.

Probably unpopular opinion, but we all know the system is rigged against us:
