Iowa State is going to be in the mix and if Kansas can keep Jalon Daniels healthy, they will be there also. I think you can put a blanket over 5 to 6 teams at this point and just see who separates during the season.
No one really has a gauntlet like we saw in the PAC the last 2 years so it may come down to tie-breakers to even get into the game.

2008 National Champ replied to the topic G5 Playoff and/or reorganization in talks in the forum Football 4 months, 4 weeks ago
I think it depends on what year you are talking. National opinion forced Utah to be allowed to break through in ’04 and by ’08/’09, there was a groundswell with TCU and Boise that one spot wasn’t enough. Realignment slowed that talk down but in the initial 4 team structure, the G5’s agreed to just the one spot that they were already getting…[Read more]

2008 National Champ replied to the topic G5 Playoff and/or reorganization in talks in the forum Football 4 months, 4 weeks ago
There’s been 11 votes(voters) since they decided to go to a playoff and it has had to be unanimous every step of the way. The time to force anything was before the initial playoff started, and the next best option was while the 12 team options were being floated. Instead, they were just happy to go along with the bigger conferences as long as…[Read more]

The problem is that the G5’s have had equal representation at the votes and keep voting to give themselves scraps. The time to stand up for themselves has pretty much passed by this point so I’m not sure what leverage they have.
Until they are willing to force change, this sounds like just more clickbait speculation

2008 National Champ replied to the topic Transfer Portal Needs in the forum Football 4 months, 4 weeks ago
I’m not at practice so I certainly don’t have any insight other than speculation. At the same time, the RB room is starting to resemble the QB room from a year ago with Charlie Vincent playing the Bryson Barnes role. Cute story but not what you want to have your season riding on.
Bernard has had multiple years to seize the RB1 spot and hasn’t…[Read more]

2008 National Champ replied to the topic Transfer Portal Needs in the forum Football 4 months, 4 weeks ago
I may be in the minority but I see one of the three RS Freshman backs taking over RB1 by season’s end. I don’t think Utah needs a transfer as much as they need to figure out what they have and move on from any that haven’t shown they can handle the job by now.
There’s just a logjam at the position that won’t be helped by bringing in someone to…[Read more]

To be fair, that’s not a very high lift.

sure, no one is getting Lotto type money out of it. But if you can add 5% on top of your salary through multiple books – which also helps with tenure – it’s a worthy venture. It’s not like Prof’s don’t have plenty of time to pump those things out.
I remember taking a philosophy class (at a different school) where I had to buy 4 of his books.…[Read more]

it was tough to put the perfect 10 on hiatus but my sister quilted me a one of kind, hooded wrap(?) to wear at cold weather games. I thought I’d show it off for awhile before putting ms Dabritz back where she belongs.

straight into the author’s/professor’s pocket after passing through the publisher. Prof’s who get to assign their own books make a pretty nice supplemental income that isn’t taxed as such since it is considered royalties.
My father rewrote the science curriculum for his local school district and then published a k-12 primer with a ton of…[Read more]

surely you can’t be suggesting that 25% of the classes I was forced to take at the U didn’t come from departments which aren’t fully supportable without the graduation requirement?
Student fees support many departments that would fail otherwise. Drama, Art History, Philosophy, Nutrition.,, just a few examples of departments that exist solely…[Read more]

I realize that this thread was started because you have some familiarity with the kid so I’m not knocking you.
At the same time, I would hope the staff is looking further afield than 45 minutes north or south to fill spots. When Jaden Rashada is available and reportedly considering going to Georgia where he would compete with other 4 or 5 stars…[Read more]

2008 National Champ replied to the topic Now spring practice is over – what do you think… in the forum Football 5 months, 1 week ago
I wouldn’t say everything has to go wrong for Utah to end up with 9 wins. To me that’s the starting point (Vegas line and also the average Utah season since 2015) and then I look at each position group to see whether improvement is expected or just hoped for.
I think we are all counting on improved QB play as long as Rising stays healthy so I…[Read more]

2008 National Champ replied to the topic Now spring practice is over – what do you think… in the forum Football 5 months, 1 week ago
9-3. Too many new opponents to plan for and while I think Utah’s roster is one of the best in the league, I don’t think it’s so much better that it can withstand key injuries. I envision incremental progress at most positions over 2023 and a healthy Rising runs Ludwig’s scheme very well. But I think the O-Line is setting up to be better in 2025…[Read more]
