I don't think anyone puts Utah over UW. But why grow to only 14 teams? 16 is the standard
Plenty of talk around the Big 12 puts Utah in the top 3-4 behind Oregon and UW.
Certainly win %, viewership, attendance, rankings, NFL...etc. support that top 3-4 position.
If you laugh at validity and prestige, help me out with this.
In 2019, 1-loss Utah was ranked ahead of both 1-loss Oklahoma and Baylor. Last year, 4-loss Utah was ranked ahead of almost every 3-loss team except one (SEC) and well ahead of all 4 loss teams, including schools Utah lost to.
Now it appears Utah will be the highest pre-season ranked non-blue blood school and a slam dunk for the top 10.
What are the coaches and voters missing that you're seeing?
