  Trigger warning because there are some folks here that experience extreme mental anguish when the topic of conference bowl records is discussed. Wouldn’t want someone to have a nervous breakdown.
  
  Pac12 is now 3-1 in bowl games, including a win over #20 Texas.
  
  This conference is much improved from last year. With all the returning QB talent, next year is going to be really entertaining.
  
  I think an 8-4 record would be a great accomplishment for our Utes.

  Since you are so easily swayed by the moment what if Utah just absolutely destroys Pedo U on Monday?
  Does that push it to CFP for ya?
  PAC12 improved and Utah is the current champion of that most improved conference!
  Beware of recency bias is all I am saying.

    Hmm. I would be thrilled if Utah destroys the pedophiles.
    
    I guess my optimism for Utah making the CFP would depend on if Rising and Kuithe return. If they’re both gone, I think there will be some growing pains even though I have a lot of confidence in Nate Johnson.
    
    Utah’s problem next year is the brutal schedule. Florida, @Baylor, @USC, @Washington, @Oregon State. There’s at least 2 losses in that stretch, maybe 3 even with Rising/Kuithe.
    
    Utah could very well be as good next this as this year and have a worse record.

      Rising and Kuithe are returning. No, I don’t have inside info, but they are returning.

    Hey, did you hear the Big12 is now 1-5 in bowl games?
    
    The Big12 sucks!

        Pretty easy to get there when there is one decent team and the rest of the conference blows. TCU will get blown out by Michigan. Just watch.
        
        TCU barely beat some really crappy teams. Sorry, but I’m not impressed by the Big12 as a whole just because they managed to get one team to the CFP.
        
        If TCU happens to beat Michigan (and I’m willing to wager a bet with you that they won’t), I’ll come here to eat crow. But for now, I believe TCU only made the playoffs by virtue of being the shiniest turd in the s**tter.

        I guess you havent watched TCU have to make miracle comebacks almost every week just to win by a fluke FG with 0 seconds left in the game multiple times. Does that sound like a top 4 team to you?

  For what it’s worth, “#20 Texas” won’t be ranked in the final polls.

    Texas had over 2100 yards of rushing production sitting on the sidelines.
    
    If Bijan Robinson plays, Texas walks away with a win. Or even Roschon Johnson who only had 550 yards rushing didn’t opt out, the game would have likely fallen in TX favor.
    
    I am not a fan of the opt out, but given the bowl games are substantially watered down, I get why players do it.

    Massey’s algorithm has Texas at #15 after yesterday’s contests, #2 SOS.
