Utes 2011 Football Discussion

[SaltyDawg]

Utah: 2 undefeated seasons and 2 BCS bowl wins. Finished second in 2008. A lot of college football fans, coaches, and media across the country felt and feel Utah should have been #1 in 2008, when they were undefeated after playing a BCS caliber schedule. Utah has since been invited to and joined a BCS conference so that never again will they finish undefeated without winning a championship.

BYU: Had 1 undefeated season in 1984 after playing a WAC schedule and beating a .500 team in a crappy bowl game. Due to no BCS system they shared a split national championship. Most college football fans, coaches, and media across the country felt and feel that BYU didn't deserve even a share of the title. The BCS system was made in large part to ensure that a sham like this never happens again. BYU has never even sniffed a BCS bowl. BYU over estimated their importance and now appear to be out of options as far as joining a BCS conference- with even Air Force and Boise State getting invited to a BCS conference already.

Yeah, I would rather be a Utah fan clinging to this, than a BYU fan clinging to a false share of the title from almost 30 years ago.

I can't really say one way or another about all the paper this or paper that what I do know is the U have two undefeated seasons in the last 7-8yrs

That is so awesome!

 

[CONAN]

All I can say is that Utah has 2 BCS bowl trophies that they actually played for.

3rd place is not bad at all. Congrats!

No question you are the king of clinging.

Interesting to note that Utah also had a shared national championship in 2008. Funny how we never hear Ute fans going all Uncle Rico about that, lol.

Can you imagine how much smack these BYU trolls would talk if their team could actually take a BCS run deeper than Week 3 of the regular season?

They'd crash the server.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to YB85 again.

LOL! So 2008 was not a third place finish but a first place finish? Nice spin.

lol, talk about irony. Utah didn't finish 3rd in 2008. I guess 2008 is a little too recent for you to know though. Now if it was 1978, you'd probably be aware of the polls. At least you seem to know 1984.
