  • Who gets to their next BCS bowl first?

    I voted Utah. Being able to play in the Rose Bowl after an early season loss or two is a nice luxury.

    BYU

    BYU has to go undefeated to even sniff a chance at a BCS bowl.

    Utah could conceivably lose 3 games and still make the Rose Bowl.

      Do we know what Utah's 2011 schedule looks like? It will be a PAC 11, not PAC 12, won't it? They can't have a championship game, so how are they going to determine the champion? If they do a round robin and play everyone for one year then I don't see UT winning the championship. However, with divisional play, I think they'd be contenders to get to the championship game every year.

      Knock it off. This board has enough problems without a dose of middle-age lechery.

        The Pac 10 champ is rarely lower than top 10. I figure top 10 BYU will make it going forward.

          Sure, but for BYU to be top 10, it has to most likely be undefeated. The PAC 10 champ can have multiple losses and still be top 10 based on tradition.

            Doesn't that imply that BYU has been to a BCS bowl?
            There's no such thing as luck, only drunken invincibility. Make it happen.

              It does.

                I voted BYU. I'm a homer.

                For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

                Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                    I think Utah was better off before. They made two BCS bowls in the last five years. Only 14 of 65 autobid teams can say as much.

                      I agree with this. Especially since the Pac-10 has only put in 2 teams twice. And the last one was when Washington State won the Pac-10 () and SC received an at-large.

                      Also, the Pac-10 has played in the NC game the fewest of any conference with USC playing in it twice.

                        Yeah...
                        It's sort of like asking "Which MWC team will be the next to struggle against a FCS team that hasn't had a winning season since 2004?" I can really only think of one candidate.
                        At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

                            That's why I didn't try and just owned it.

                              "Owned" might be overstating a little.

                              BCS smack from a Wyoming fan stings just about as bad as it would from a...well...SUU fan.
