As a sidenote, if BYU does beat Utah (and of course AFA), then they'd have a pretty good claim to being the best, as among the top 3, as they were 1-1 with both games on the road. It would be:
1) BYU (both road)
2) TCU (one road, one away)
3) Utah (both home games)
Kind of a funny reversal of popular opinion right now, although based on last night's performance (and an application of Bayes theorem), I'm not convinced Utah's better than TCU.
you also need to hope that ball st loses
