Utah looked good their first two possessions. Looked like it was going to be a runaway. Not so much, it turns out. A win is a win, but Utah should have dominated OSU.

Ya they should have dominated them by a little bit more than 26.5 points.

The Utes haven't really been a runaway scoring team. I heard the line early today and figured I'd take the under. Taking the under wouldn't even be betting against the Utes at 26.5.

Dat Oregon game doe

Plus the utes should have been pissed about last week and wanting to prove to the voters that last week was a fluke.
I was expecting them to come out mad and motivated and run up the score against a horrible team playing in front of the ute faithful at a blackout game.
Instead they were in a little danger of actually losing the game and all the stats, though in the utes favor, are very close.

I don't think they were ever in danger of losing, but their offense got really lax in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. Their defense played well, as usual.
 
Mabye the most boring home game in recent memory(King Louie's secret appearance as the field goal kicker for a free haircut may have been the highlight of the night). We are 7-1 with a chance to be 8-1 facing a Washington team that looks tougher than predicted.
 
Let's say Utah wins out, what else do they need to have happen to be in the playoffs? Do they even have a shot?

Bullet point the response please.
 
I've heard the opinion that if Stanford wins out (CCG included) they make the playoffs, but if Utah does, they probably don't. Just chatter, but it wouldn't surprise me. I think Cy is a great example of the bias Utah might face. Some people just can't handle the thought that a recent mid major could hang with the big boys.

Adding to the difficulty is the timing. Dropping a game early in the season is much less consequential than dropping one mid to late season. Especially for a team like Utah that already has a steep uphill climb. Whereas the good ol' boys will fall all over themselves to give Bama or Notre Dame a pass, Utah can't rely on extra credit for reputation.

I think it's hard to be taken seriously when you lose to a 3-3 team mid-season.
