        Invites to major conferences?

        lol. Utah received one. BYU has said no to the Big East already and botched a B12 invite.

        BYU 2, Utah 1. Thanks for pointing that out.

          The line moved similarly in Utah's favor last week. "Smart" fans get burned, too.

            Give it to the LDS church by way of the perpetual education fund. You can't take a u-haul with you into the next life. You will make far more than 90% on it.

              Winning percentages, please. Utah 1-0, 1.000, BYU 0-1, .000.

                Good suggestion. Where is that fund spent. Can you designate it is not to be used for students going to BYU?

                  BYU has a better winning percentage in the PAC this year than Utah.

                    Actually it ended up at 6.5. So the line moved in USU's favor at the end.

                      A better winning percentage in the PAC last year as well. But let's face it, this talk is cheap - we're comparing BYU with one of the bottom feeders in the PAC. It's hardly fair.

                        No, and I also can't guarantee it wont go to a 3.5 billion dollar mall.

                        I changed my mind, go to vegas get two cheap hookers and put the rest on Utah straight up. Win-win my friend.

                            I'd like to take a moment to thank those posters (hint: not Triple) who are contributing substantive insight into questions of x's, o's, personnel, and matchups.

                            JiC, tip of the cap - ToneLoc - you as well.

                              I wonder why you started with last year. So arbitrary.
                              At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

                                I know of one Pac-12 "bottom feeder" that handed you a six-touchdown loss last year.
