Some of both. They’re playing pretty well, but yeah super lucky to play Mich St this year and not last year. Not sure what happened to Sparty. But they did catch Toledo and West Virginia on an up year.
I would say even one loss is unrealistic. Maybe pessimistic, but I say we’ll lose 2 games at best, the conference is too good for Utah to dominate. We’re not there yet. But Utah lost 3 games in the south last year and still tied for first.
I actually agree, mainly because this is a Utah athletics fan site. If politics is on the front page, it will get overrun with politics and resemble a sports fan site less and less.
Even during Oregon’s dominance, they usually choked when they got to the championship. Or they choked when they opened the season against LSU. I think people thought, “yeah they’re good in the PAC12 but can’t compete with the SEC.”
