    Texas was always going to be fine. The SEC, Big 10 and/or Pac 16 were all very good fall back positions. It's not like they were dealing with Missouri's set of cards. And even if they did have one foot out the door, that doesn't mean that it was done deal. Again, I was listening to the Austin ESPN radio feed on Wednesday or Thursday last week and there was absolutely no doubt, they were acting like it had already occurred and that was because of Chip Brown's reporting.
    Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

      Last Utah road win (neutral site) against BCS team: Cal 2009
      Last BYU road win (neutral site) against BCS team: Oregon St. 2009

      Last Utah road win (non-neutral site) against BCS team: Michigan 2008
      Last BYU road win (non-neutral site) against BCS team: Washington 2008.

      Last time BYU played BCS team on the road (non-neutral site): Washington 2008.

      I have to admit that Utah needs to find a way to win Pac-10 road games. Their last Pac-10 road win (non-neutral site) was at Arizona in 2004.
      To the extent that Dallas was a neutral site, sure. But yeah, Utah's clearly got us beat on those grounds.

          Try to keep up, son. He already covered bowl games in his list.

            Hmm. Irony isn't your strongest suit, isn't it? Never mind, then.

            Anyway, thanks for the research. It proves my point well enough.
