Turnpike Lane Intervention Needed

TCU is better this year. Baylor and Okie State better last year.

I mean ok but let's not act like there aren't some really solid programs in the B12 right now.

Don't get Utah pulling in recruits, conference is going downhill

We need 2 more to leave. At 10 they are still a power conference and an easy

Are playoffs expanding? No way they get a top 4 coming out of the Pac10 let

12/8/22 10:33pm

Oh, I didn't realize you didn't know.

12/8/22 10:37pm

They are going to be one of the top 6 conferences which is an auto bid

These are west coast kids though. Is there a better performing program right now in the west?

TFL

12/8/22 10:26pm

Last 2 years? No. Last 10 Oregon and Washington. And USC will pass soon.

12/8/22 10:34pm

Since 2014 and the current CFP era.

Maybe the conference ISNT going downhill.

12/8/22 10:33pm

They're losing their top most reputable/credible schools, of course it is

Covid-19

12/8/22 10:35pm

Aren’t Texas and Oklahoma leaving B12?

12/9/22 1:29pm

The p12 tied the sec for the most ranked teams. And Utah’s in the rose bowl 2x

maxpowers

12/8/22 10:34pm

Also a major outlier in recent years and still no playoff team

BYU '80

12/8/22 10:37pm

P12 would have two playoff teams if it expanded this year.

maxpowers

12/8/22 10:39pm

And both would be put out the first game….

BYU4eVeR

12/9/22 12:43am

You could say the same thing about the big12

maxpowers

Taking abt the future, kids are signing & playing in the future, 2023 and beyond

Covid-19

12/8/22 10:37pm

Look at Byu and UU’s futures. One of them is certainly forecasting better

maxpowers

12/8/22 10:38pm

Agree but upside is higher in Big12

Covid-19

12/8/22 10:39pm

Kids are probably thinking would I rather play for a potential bottom dweller in

maxpowers

12/8/22 10:41pm

Definitely conceivable and with transfer portal if they guess wrong they can jet

Covid-19

12/8/22 10:43pm

Also they don't seem like they have been putting many in NFL lately either

Covid-19

12/8/22 10:38pm

Most draft eligible players stayed to repeat...and guess what?

Ute_Truther

12/9/22 1:14am

Look at contributions among nfl players. Utes don’t have many

BYU '80

12/9/22 6:07am

I only care about Utah football and again....guess what?

Ute_Truther

12/9/22 4:23pm

No it’s equal maybe better than big 12. No program in Big 12 better than Utah or Oregon

Blue2thebone

12/8/22 10:46pm

Agree but big12 fanbase cares which translates to more money, more money leads

Covid-19

12/8/22 10:59pm

But the markets that care in the big 13 are totally owned by the big 2

Blue2thebone

12/9/22 1:03pm

TCU is better this year. Baylor and Okie State better last year.

12/8/22 11:07pm

Not talking record. Talking program.

12/9/22 7:09am

When the other options are Stanford without a coach, and BYU... what is there

Utah has never been in a better position. With USC leaving its Utahs league.

Backcountry

12/9/22 12:18am

Or Oregon or Washington….

I hope you are right! Battered fan syndrome has made me more pessimistic.

ALUF 1990

With playoff expansion which schools feel they'll have an easier
