Thid make Tennessee bailing more understandable. From the description of BYU's

roster of veterans vs relatively new coaches try to reestablish a legendary reputation, they must have concluded the chance for a win was remote. Better to line up a pathetic team like UVA, where you might get a win, than risk an almost certain loss.

ESPN College Football Rankings - we made the cut

Utah’s inevitable collapse after all the ridiculous preseason hype is my favorite part of every season

As long as Utah and PAC avoid playing a real top 30 team, they remain top 10.

5/20/22 5:58am

So, it's ridiculous if Utah is hyped, but not if BYU is?

Most of us readily admit that Utah will be good. Most of us say they should be ranked around 10-15.

5/19/22 8:39pm

I admit that the hype is more than I think is justified.

ImaFBfan

5/19/22 8:43pm

Playoff hype is just too much. Utah is good. Playoffs are for elite.

5/19/22 8:47pm

I think you misread my post. #6 for a team that didn’t win a single FBS OOC game is ridiculous

Magathis

5/19/22 8:46pm

Honestly I think both teams are overrated due to winning against a weak p12

GlutealGuy

5/19/22 8:57pm

I think they’re a top 10 team

5/20/22 2:26am

Collapse?

TFL

5/19/22 8:51pm

Yes, collapse

Magathis

5/19/22 9:09pm

So…Utah is embarrassed for being #3, #5 or playing in the RB? Meh

TFL

5/19/22 9:41pm

You’re still missing my point. I don’t care how Utah got there or even that they are there

Magathis

5/19/22 9:51pm

“It’s so awesome to see our team poop the bed after getting hyped to the moon by people desperate for PAC12 relevance!”

backprop

5/19/22 9:54pm

Uhh. Yeah. Everybody “collapses” but one team in the CFP format.

TFL

5/19/22 10:26pm

Which validates what anyone who was watching was saying all along

If BYU were in the PAC last year, we would’ve been the first und. champ in 12 yr

5/20/22 6:21am

I think BYU fans miss the point. Utah 2021 was a rebuilding team after losing Ty and the large NFL

TFL

5/20/22 12:15pm

I agree, Utah had no business being considered a contender or top 10

GlutealGuy

5/20/22 12:47pm

verb (used w/out object), col·lapsed, col·laps·ing. to fall or cave in; crumble

Alan Garner

5/19/22 10:08pm

All part of building a brand and elevating status. Preseason #6 is not a collapse

TFL

5/19/22 10:31pm

Not every team has an 85% chance to win only to lose in historic fashion

Magathis

5/19/22 10:41pm

Exposed? I don’t follow.

RE: Exposed? I don’t follow.

Magathis

5/19/22 10:50pm

Meh. Bowl games don’t matter. Especially when you have 6-7 guys

TFL

5/19/22 11:00pm

Goalposts, moved. Nice

Alan Garner

5/19/22 11:22pm

CFB has changed. Getting guys drafted is the best recruiting tool for Utah. Since Utah

Yeah. So they lost a CCG and then blew out Oregon in 21 to redeem themselves.

I wasn’t alive during the WAC days

Magathis

5/19/22 11:19pm

Yikes. You've never seen an undefeated BYU season? But you make fun Utah for losing a couple games? Lol

TFL

5/20/22 3:02pm

You’re still not getting it. This is not a competition of which of our teams is better or has had it worse

Magathis

5/20/22 3:12pm

You don't get it either. CFP was created by and for the elite blue blood programs. Just like the old BCS

TFL

5/20/22 3:32pm

This started as an argument about me using the word collapse. Everything else is irrelevant

Magathis

5/20/22 3:46pm

Dude. Utah beat the crap out of the #3 CFP team on national TV. Then again two weeks later

TFL

5/20/22 3:50pm

Just curious, does Utah have more talent and resources than San Diego State?

backprop

5/19/22 11:22pm

Yup. That's why Utah will be a 9+ point fav against SDSU. Anyone can beat anyone at home on a rebuild year

I still don’t understand the Utah hype. They will be good but number 6 good? Nope

It’s like people forget how bad they looked against Ohio state

Defense looked bad, offense looked good.

BYU's defense limped into the final stretch and BYU lost to UAB

HuskerFan2

5/19/22 8:17pm

Don't lose to UAB if you want respect.

Corn Pop

5/19/22 8:26pm

3 PAC 12 teams? Have these people even watched college football for the last decade?

5/19/22 8:14pm

The classic reset to keep p5s “above” the rest. Pac 12 and ACC should start at 0

GlutealGuy

Utah will drop to around 15-25, Pittsburgh will not be top 25, Clemson will be

Only 4 of next year's opponents in the Top 20. No problem!

Boomcannon

Went undefeated against the 3 teams ranked in the preseason last year

GlutealGuy

5/19/22 9:45pm

Well, the good news is Oregon is in the pack 12 and ND is technically ACC...

Boomcannon

There are like seven SEC teams alone that are better than Utah. Just because
