Oregon is the obvious pick, but I agree with you on a darkhorse pick. However, I heard that ASU lost a bunch of kids to the portal.

Hard to see ASU as a potential NC pick. I believe that team has plenty of holes which, given the amount of time between the end of the regular season and their actual game, opponents with superior personnel can exploit. If, for example, the Sun Devils draw Texas as their next opponent, I can easily see a blowout going Texas’ way.

I agree. Also, for me, I’m just damned tired of the Dolphins putting out a substandard product season after season. I have better things to do than devote time to a team that’s a perennial underachiever.

NFL has been so bad this year. The games I have watched have been terrible.
I do like teasing my in laws about the Niners. Man that last game was such a dud. Drops and lazy football all around.

That would be my dark horse pick as well.

Absolutely no judgement from me. I just don’t find it as interesting without Utah anymore. I have also felt like the quality of football has declined. You could see it in the NFL for a few years now but it has finally arrived in the college ranks.

I am a football fan beyond simply my own school. I won’t watch end to end like a Utah game, but I am happy to check in as much as I can to see if there is some drama that will be interesting.

It depends what the degree is, doesn’t it? I’m not sure an Interdisciplinary Studies degree from Cal would trump, say an Engineering degree from Utah. A lot of those athletes going to elite academic universities only get in because they’re athletes and only graduate because there are degrees available that really aren’t that intellectually demanding.

Eagle, I’m out of town and will only watch whatever games are on prime time due to my schedule. That being said, I might not watch any since I don’t have any rooting interest. Same goes for the NFL playoffs.

I will watch, and I’m somewhat excited about it. Some intriguing matchups.

Dickert / WSU have been somewhat forced to do this with their players and coaches, but it’s working for them.

I probably won’t watch an entire game because I will be attending grandkid games this weekend. But, I will likely tune in and watch parts of the games.

Concert Saturday night. Will catch the highlights Sunday morning.

Absolutely am watching, one game on Friday, three on Saturday.
Will piss-off the wifey (especially being the weekend before Christmas), but I’m a diehard college football fan so gotta watch.

I think I’ll tune in to the SMU vs Penn st. game. I like the idea of a G5 taking out a blue blood like Utah did. I’m not expecting a win and will quickly tune out if it gets out of hand.

while i agree that the degrees from an institution like Cal are very noteworthy……..im not sure the disparity exists as much today in comparison to 20 years ago. i am also a Utah grad and a business owner, of a small architectural firm. i am not as interested in the name of the school on their graduate degree as i am their work experience,…[Read more]

Recruited by a lot of big programs, e.g., Ohio State, Texas, Florida, Oregon, but “only” a 3-star. Wonder why all the attention??? Must have something real good that they all see.

Like UteBacker, I had no idea they started this weekend until this very moment. Diehard college football fan with zero interest here.
