Utahs D looking average at best so far, not sure they can overcome a 10-0 deficit - Page 5 - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

Nah, bring on the bigger boys -- you got screwed by the Pittsburg draw last time.

Well, Whit has prepared well for bowl games.

Wouldn't you guys likely get pulled for the Fiesta Bowl due to proximity? That would put you against the Big12. No biggie. Either Texas, Texas Tech, or Missouri.

I'm thinking Rose Bowl against USC...

Penn st wins out

Ohio St loses to Illinois

Oregon St loses once...

No other big 10 team available for the rose bowl to pick... they go with Utah which is close

That would be awesome. The Rose Bowl committee are such snots. They threw a fit when they had to invite a team from the Big12. Can't wait to see them stuck without a BigTen team this year. Perhaps they should just suspend the game til next year.

I'd rather see Utah play in one of the other three BCS bowls than the Fiesta. Something about being halfway to a BCS slam.

22 straight wins now as a ranked team, not bad.

The Rose Bowl seems waaaaaaaay too elitist to ever invite a non-BCS team to their party.

Were they forced to take a MWC team, I think they may do just that.

that's kinda what I think, too, but I thought it would sound elitist coming from me. I'm not kidding when I say they pouted just about having to invite a B12 team.

if OSU wins out, the Rose Bowl will pick USC as the at-large before it picks Utah as an at large.

Anyone that thinks that Utah will be picked by the Rose Bowl doesnt understand the Rose Bowl committee.
