Why's it official? I'm not quite sure. That being said, let's lay down some predictions on the upcoming football season for the in-state teams. Here's mine:

Utah: 8-4 record with wins over Utah State and BYU. Is this a homer prediction? Absolutely. I actually think Utah's absolute best-case scenario is no better than 8-4, so I'm rolling with the glass half full mentality.

BYU: 7-5. I also think BYU's ceiling is 8-4. If they manage to beat Utah, swap out the 2 records.

Utah State: 9-3. Losses to Utah, USC, and some MWC team that beats them in an upset. I also think the Aggies upset Boise State at home.

A few other predictions:

-Chuckie Keaton plays his way into being at least a 3rd round pick in the NFL draft.
-Utah's offensive line and running game is the reason the Utes are able to win 7/8 games. The Utes lose to all of the "big dogs" on their schedule. (USC, Oregon, and Stanford) and pull off a home win against UCLA.
-BYU is a decent team, but like Utah, the schedule is just too hard to see 9 or 10 wins.
-All 3 teams win their bowl games.

There it is bitches. Flame on.
 
BYU beats Middle Tennessee on a last second field goal and Bronco Mendenhall immediately ascends from the sidelines to go sit at the right hand of God.

In Hawaii, QB coach Jordan Wynn injures his shoulder moving Gatorade jugs.

Good predictions..... cant hate on any of it.

I think the utes and cougs ceilings are 8-4 as well and I think the cougs finish 7-5, but I think the utes end up 6-6 (they have the 12th toughest schedule in the nation)
Also think chuckie is the best quarterback in the state and the 3rd best player/nfl prospect in the state (behind van noy and Hoffman)

For the utes im interested to see what trevor riley does this year and how high he can get himself in the nfl draft, and of course Im excited to see what travis Wilson does (especially after a spectacular scrimmage).
I think both utes and cougars secondaries are jacked up, but it will hurt the utes more because the pac 12 seems to be a pass happy quarterback driven conference.
Also curious how good utes receivers will be.... Dres Anderson and Kenneth scott both have lots of talent and potential but have not really shown it yet (likely due to Jordan wynn at qb)..... Love their tight ends doe.


BYU has possibly their best receiving core of all time, but an inexperienced qb who, while super fast and athletic, doesn't seem to be very accurate... Love cougars stable of running backs (sophomore Jamaal Williams is only 18 years old!)..... questions at O line..... Pretty good tight ends...... New receivers coach, O line coach, quarterback coach, and offensive coordinator.

Defensively byu has a great front seven...... D-line should be a strength (though losing ziggy may hurt a little, but watch out for kafusi)...... Linebackers are another position that might be the best they have ever had (van noy and Hadley both getting lots of NFL love, while unga and fua are both very good.)....... defensive backs might be as bed as they have ever been (but whats new right?) but at least they have two solid safeties.
