I called out ASU as the sleeper in our conference this year. I felt that there was no way they would finish last. Of course, I had not idea that we would pretty much take their place! My sleeper next season is Houston. They are sneaky decent on defense already and I think they have a really good coach.
There is NO excuse for Utah to not be in the top four in this conference. However, I am a lot like Utah above here, in that this conference just doesn’t interest me much beyond who Utah is playing each week. I really don’t have any real interest in programs like WVU, UCF, etc. With the Pac 12, we had regional and historical ties to many of the programs pre-built in when we joined. We would typically play a Pac 10 team every year in at least one out of conference game, and we would very likely play one in our bowl game. With the Big 12, minus BYU, TCU, and the 4 corner schools, we have literally nothing that ties us to any of the remaining teams. It is just a big yawner for me.
