By the way, regarding your response to my earlier post, make no mistake, Utah is 4th, not 3rd in their half of the conference. Are they 4th as far as the postseason goes, sure, but USC is not NOT playing games. The games they play matter. They count toward conference recordm, and ultimately, what place each team finishes in in conference. So are they third as far as bowl eligible team goes, yes, yes they are. Are they the third worst team according to record in their half of the conference? Even moreso.

No, that is not true.
Utah has the second best overall record in their division right now. Only USC has a better record. Utah has a better overall record than UCLA, and beat them head to head.
If you are saying UCLA is ahead of Utah right now, you must be talking about division standings. And in those division standings, USC does not count.
And yet, at this moment, Utah is bowl eligible, while UCLA is not. What a conundrum!

Funny. I wonder why ESPN places them in fourth in the standings on their website then.
Alphabetical order?

Let's see, I'm not quite sure if I understand all this.
When a team gets hammered on by 44 points, wouldn't it also be correct to say BYU lost 54-10 on the first play of the game, and on the second play of the game, and on the third play of the game, etc.?
It's because of their conference record, foos.
UCLA and Arizona state are 4-3 and UCLA gets the head to head tie break.
Utahr is 3-4 so is below them both.
My team is not even in a conference and I get it. Cmon, it's all ball bearings nowadays.
No, you're not getting it, the game was not over until the "last" play of the game, so that is the play that they either won it on, or lost it on. Besides the first play of the game made it 7-0, and they scored 10 later on. I could see saying BYU lost the game on the second drive/fumble of the game, but I was trying to follow Salty's logic on this, follow his lead.

Fletch, you missed the point. Or maybe you fully got it. Either way, ESPN did not because they're listing USC as first in the PAC-12 South with Utahr limping in three spots behind at 4th. This is clearly a mistake as Utahr is 3rd and USC should not be in the standings. Heck, they should not have even been playing their games. Only Salty's brought this to our attention and now it's someone's duty to relay the information to the powers that be in Bristol. Utahr is in third. THIRD!!!

Umm you mean the one that ended last year. Right now they are on a 0 game bowl winning streak. If you mean playing in a bowl that is pretty much certain now.
What kind of name is, "Poon" anyway?
