Utah of 2004, I would have been fine if they were matched up with any of the top teams that year (OK, USC or Auburn)...I am not saying that Utah would have beaten any of them, but it would have been a very entertaining game.
Utah of this year is a good team, top 20 even, maybe top 15. But I do not have much of a desire to play a Texas, Florida or any of them. I would be happy for any BCS game (if they get there) but my nervousness of how the Utes would do would be tenfold playing one of the top 5 teams. With all that said, the BYU game will be real tough if Johnson has one of his lackluster games.

This year's team may be maximizing its talent most of the time, so the fans should be proud, but it's not on par with the 2004 team. The 2004 team would punish this team for its penchant to commit errors.

And Seattle, you are seriously crazy if you think that this 2008 team is as good as that 2004 team. I like the 2008 team's defense and tenacity...but that 2004 team was one for the ages.

Here are two comparisons:
2004 @New Mexico Utes 28 Lobos 7 (New Mexico finished 7-4) 2008 @New Mexico Utes 13 Lobos 10 (New Mexico presently 4-7) --------------------------- 2004 vs. Colorado State Utes 63 CSU 31 (This included leads of 42-3 and 56-10) (CSU finished 4-7) 2008 vs. Colorado State Utes 49 CSU 16 (CSU presently 4-6) ----------------------- If this year's team were to face Pitt in the Orange Bowl, Utah would win by 10 or less. |

Archie, I think you meant state of Utah, not U. of Utah, so you may want to file a clarifying post.
