It’s possible that Utah could be a better team and end up with a worse record than this year.

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…[Read more]

Big12 is now 1-4 in bowl games. Poverty conference. 
My guess is TCU gets absolutely smoked by Michigan.

Troy QB Peter Costelli has entered the transfer portal, @247SportsPortal has learned. A four-star recruit in the 2021 class, Costelli transferred to Troy this offseason from Utah.https://t.co/0yPDSspt5T

Dang. Was really hoping he’d come to Utah.

🚨BREAKING🚨 Texas transfer OT Junior Angilau has committed to Oregon.

Sione Po’uha, former Utah defensive line coach. BYU doing everything possible to emulate the success of Whittingham. Can’t blame them for trying, I guess. 
Sione stepped down as Utah’s defensive line coach last January. His reason at the time was coaching was not conducive to a healthy work/life balance; also said working for Whittingham was “too…[Read more]

BYU coaches are now buying into the narrative that Utah is offering up NIL deals they don’t intend on following through on. This is really embarrassing for Fesi to have bought into the Dick Harmon/Cougarboard circle-jerk narrative. 
I can’t tell you how much I LOVE that Utah’s recruiting successes is bothering them. They are…[Read more]

UCLA board of regents approves move to the Big10. Will probably have to pay Berkeley money and implement student athlete welness provisions to compensate for the increased travel burden.

There’s been a lot of talk on Twitter, radio, and message boards about whether Utah’s recruiting class is, in part, due to NIL offers. Obviously, the success of the last two seasons factors is probably the biggest reason. Good players want to play for good teams and Utah is doing well right now. 
There have been some ridiculous numbers being…[Read more]

On 1280 The Zone.

Has the game download link been posted here yet? Desperate to rewatch it!
(As always, thanks to the folks who provide these downloads for us!)

Notre Dame, of course.
If Notre Dame joins the Big10, they provide enough financial coverage for themself and 3 other teams. If ND accepts, the Big10 picks up UO, UW, and Stanford and wraps it up with 20 teams. (And kills the P12 in the process, no more west coast competition, they now own the entire west coast market).
If Notre Dame doesn’t…[Read more]

There’s been a lot of speculation that the eventuality in CFB is two divisions, essentially the SEC and the Big10.
Numbers have been thrown out as to the size of each division, most recently 20-32 teams each.
People ask, why would the two conferences expand to include schools that don’t add to the per school revenue?
It’s simple. To kill off…[Read more]

Drop the bottomfeeders and form a new league with top teams from the leftover Big12 and Pac12.
There is no P5 anymore, it’s the P2 now. The only hope to staying relevant is to create a conference with the “best of the rest” and hang on to dear life.
Teams like Wazzu, Oregon State, Kansas, and UCF. See ya!

Utah is high on his list, for obvious reasons, but 4 crystal balls have come in for Clemson.
Really a bummer, if true. Oh well. At least LB is not a position of need.
 

Weird.

That was not a good start to the 2nd half.

So unbelievably perfect that Samson Nacua’s fumble cost them the game.
