The last few years, fans were mad because we had our bye week super early and stumbled to the finish. This year, ive heard a few fans upset we have it so late. Im pretty happy that our players are taking a week off and getting healthy right now instead of playing. Will be interesting to see if it helps us finish stronger than we did the last 2 seasons.
Our BYE placement isn’t too bad this season, but I would have preferred to have it before the UW game instead of after it.
I think with a few guys back (Marcus Williams, especially) we just may have come out on top against the Huskies.
However, I think a rested Utah team wins out and meets the Huskies in the P12 Championship and we take them. UW will go to the CFP @ 12-1 and we’ll go to the Rose Bowl at 11-2!
If Utes beat a 12-0 UW in the P12CG, we would eliminate UW from the playoffs. Conference champions only in the playoffs and I’d be shocked if that ever changes.
