I think that Air Force handled Oklahoma's speed VERY well, and that Utah isn't going to have better athletes than OU. The TCU game was also at TCU, while this game is in Colorado Springs. Air Force always plays Utah tough. This is a classic set-up for a major upset: highly-ranked team who hasn't been tested in weeks goes on the road to play a VERY dangerous team who has just lost two straight games. I'll be one of the few on the board who picks an upset, only because its a perfect storm. Air Force wins 31-28.
 
Utah easily covers in this game.

Also, to clear up a misconception...

That Pitt game wasn't nearly as close as the final score would indicate. If you look a little deeper, Utah had 405 yards, Pitt had 266.

If Shaky Smithson doesn't have butterfingers and fumble it twice, plus Utah get a punt blocked, then that Pitt score is a blowout that rivals all the rest of Utah's games.

It was a fluke that the game was close and if they played right now Utah beats them by about 35-40 points.

Why hope for Utah to be upset? The only way BYU ever gets their hands on BCS money is when Utah or TCU go out and earn it for them. Since BYU will no longer be in a conference with them after this season, this is the Cougs last chance at getting a share of some BCS cash. Lord knows they're not getting any once they go independent.

It's easy to be pragmatic when your team is the one on top. But if the roles were reversed, would you want a hated rival to win, because it increased the chance of (not guaranteed) a BCS windfall? Perhaps you would, but I'm guessing - deep down inside - you would want them to crash and burn.

Bitter BYU fans make the wins even sweeter, in my book.

I'm betting J12's comments were "tongue in cheek trash talk" since he made it after a couple of Y fans posted and it made me laugh. Not that what you said wasn't true.
 
Of course what I said was tongue in cheek trash talk. And Bronco, you're 100% correct. If BYU were in the middle of an unbeaten season, I would be on the edge of my seat waiting for them to fall on their faces. Thank God I haven't had to worry about that in quite some time (more tongue in cheek trash talk).
 
So I'm going to say Utah has way too much speed at almost every position for Air Force to handle.

I think it will be somewhere around 48-14, Utah.
