Fortunately, BYU has mostly WAC teams from here on out. Chalk up losses to Oregon State and TCU, and BYU will finish 9-4 and the running of the mouths will quickly resume. |

Whit's teams do not lie down and quit and are rarely defeated before they hit the field. There are lots of bad losses by Bronco's teams. I really don't believe any argument can be made in favor of Bronco as a better coach. Whit has been a winner wherever he's been. Bronco has not. And he will diminish.

Final Sagarin Rankings:
Year Utah BYU 2005 63 53 2006 35 7 2007 35 21 2008 10 26 2009 32 23 2010 38 53 mean 35.5 30.5 root of variance 16.8849045 18.60913754 I guess technically Whit is more consistent because of the lower variance. But he's had one top-25 finish. Yuck, I feel like Indy with these descriptive statistics. Must...run...regression.

Bronco has at least two bad losses to Utah Bronco has two bad losses to Florida State. Bronco has a bad loss to USU and a bad loss to Nevada. Those stand out in my head without engaging in further detailed analysis. I could go on. How is that a recent phenomenon?

I tell you one thing, no one wants to go a loser's fireside.

Ask yourself why Utah is BYU's only quality home game this year and in the future.

Last year: If we don't improve security at the rivalry game, I'd rather not play it. This year: If we don't play them at the end of the year, I'd rather not play it.
