      Pitt, we had no shot in that bowl game, right?

      Utah wins bowl games, plain and simple.

      The Utes were 9.5 point underdogs against Alabama. Yes, not many thought we had a chance.

      But the Utes were 16 point favorites against Pitt. I can’t recall anyone thinking that we would lose that game. All the talking heads were picking Utah to win.

        Mark May predicted Utah would get blown out by the Panthers.  But he was the only naysayer that I recall.

          Isn’t Mark May a former Pitt player?

      Pitt was the participation trophy for the 2004 season. At the time, I felt like they allowed Utah into the BCS so that none of the real teams would have to play a 7-4 Pitt team that won a crappy Big East.

        They also avoided having Utah prove a non-BCS team belonged because we didn’t get to play a real opponent. They should have given us undefeated Auburn. That would have been a game!
