I propose that the Pac-12 is actually no better than a G5 conference and Utah is a fraud having benefited from a patsy conference. Proof:
1) The Pac-12 is 18-17 head-to-head as a conference against the Mountain West over the past 35 matchups. What do you have to say about that?
2) Utah hasn’t beaten a Power 5 non-conference opponent since 2017.
3) The Pac-12 as a conference is 11-26 in bowl games from the 2017 season until now.
4) In Utah’s lauded 2021 year where they won the Pac-12, you still lost a Mountain West team that didn’t even win the Mountain West.
5) In that span Utah has scheduled/played home & home games with Wyoming, Northern Illinois, and San Jose state.
