Utah was the fallback, Colorado wasn't. (They may have been seen as the first break in the dam though)
The PAC10 was looking at up to 6 Big 12 teams - Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma St, Colorado.
Colorado joined while the status of Texas/Oklahoma etc was still up in the air. So they weren't a fallback option. It may have been that they were seen as a small defection that could start the avalanche though.
Utah was definitely a fallback, the quick pivot after Texas/Oklahoma etc chose to stay in the Big 12 - Utah joined 2 days after the others declined to do so.

The P12 didn't think twice about BYU. Why would they schedule BYU if they were out to get them? I do think the P12

True, if you're looking non-football, then BYU would have a stronger case. Just figured football drives realignment

The Big 12 made a huge mistake passing up an ideal, P5 ready BYU. They got it right this time and it was a steal. But
