    BYU v. Cal Bears

    I realize that Turkey dinner takes precedence, but no thread or discussion? Change the title vetting committee.

    Anybody give BYU much of a reasonable chance of stopping Cal offense?

    We are 42nd in Pass efficiency defense, Cal is 25th in Pass efficiency offense. Not as big of a disparity as you think.

      Hmmm. Perhaps it only seems we allowed many QBs to have career days against us.

        Based on the little I saw of the USC/Cal game, BYU won't be able to afford many mistakes on defense. BYU should be able to put up some points if the OLs show up.

          It's going to be pouring rain. It's going to suck.

            The PAC-12 sucks and we're about to lose to a PAC-12 team getting bowl eligible in late November.

                The PAC-12 does not suck this year.

                We are not facing an automatic loss.

                  I look forward to this game determining, once and for all, whether the Pac-12 sucks.

                    The PAC-12 is down this year, as is just about every conference. You know it's a bad year when UCLA is somehow ranked in the top 10.

                    I hate the SEC but once again they are the best conference and it's not close.

                      Parity == Mediocrity. Parity defines the PAC this year.

                        Nearly half the conference is ranked in the top 25 of the playoff rankings and you can only argue with a straight face that 1 off those 5 aren't deserving. It isn't parity there is a lot of quality.

                          Byu fans arguing that the pac 12 sucks are letting their bitterness show. The pac 12 is very strong.

                            Parity could also mean the PAC is good but not great.

                              I don't think anybody really wants any parts of U of A this year. And ASU is unseasonably tough as well. When you have this many dangerous teams, you know the PAC 12 is strong. Parity does not equal mediocrity- that's silly. It's still college football and there is quite a lot of parity in general-- any team could win on any given Saturday. The MWC had a lot of parity among the top 4 teams or so before TCU and Utah left, and those were some tough ass teams.
