With all respect, Utah has a better chance of being in a BCS bowl in the PAC X than they would have in the MWC.

Yeah, they won't have to play TCU.

Well, I'd say they at least have just as good a chance. The only team that is seriously competitive year-in year-out is USC, and they're about to be in a world of hurt with their sanctions. Oregon is good, but not consistently. I think Utah begins competing immediately once they start play in the Pac 10 + 2.

i hear ya... but that wasn't my question. when will Utah be in another BC$ Bowl? ps - we have to STOP COMPARING ourselves with everyone. what gives?

I think they win the PAC their first year.

I think they'll be back to a BCS bowl within 3 seasons.

And maybe the second.....

 

[Big Frog II]

With USC in big trouble, and since Oregon can't keep their players out of jail, Utah has a good chance their first year.

Agree, with the exception of USC the top tier of the PAC 10 in no different than the top tier of the MWC and USC will be down, way down.

 

[Daniel Plainview]

Utah makes a run at it this year, and if they don't get it this year, they will within the next two as Joradn wynn(sp?) matures.

Yea, we tore him up when he came to play in fort worth, but that kid is going to be good.

Also, they only have to get 2nd place as long as USC wins because USC wont be able to go to the bowl. if they beat oregon they go to BCS bowl.

Agreed, I think they win PAC 10 year 1 and get BCS bowl. USC is on road down and no one else in PAC 10 is scary.

 

[Frog DJ]

I say year 2. Give them a year to get used to the new conference and Wynn will tear up the Pac-?

Go Frogs!

I'll bet you a million bucks to your thousand dollars they don't do it this year. :biggrin:

 

[Frognosticator]

Utah, formerly being one of the strongest teams in the MWC, will probably win the PAC-10, a weaker conference, this year. There is now currently no team in the PAC-10 as good as TCU. USC is headed for a huge fall. 30 schollys is about what we lost back in 85, and we didn't recover for 6 years.

That was quite a minor detail I looked passed.

With USC on probation and Oregon losing their QB I would have said they have a chance THIS year if they were joining the conference for this season (they aren't obviously). I don't see why they don't have as good a chance as the rest of that mostly mediocre league.

 

[Frog89]

Utah will be one of the better teams in that conference every year. I don't see them fading. I hope they don't.

 

[Duquesne Frog]

This implied notion that we have an easier road to a BCS game than teams in the BCS is nonsense. Over the last 10 years, 5 different SEC teams have gone to BCS games(Bama, Fla, LSU, UGa, Aub), half of the Big 12 (Tex, OU, KU, KSU, Neb, Col), over half of the Big 10 (Iowa, OSU, PSU, Ill, Mich, Pur), 5 from the ACC(GaTech, VT, WFU, FSU, Mary), 5 from the P10 (Ore, USC, WSU, OSU, Wash), and 5 from the BE (Cincy, WVU, Lville, Pitt, MiaFl), plus ND.

Even the conferences thought of as top heavy (Pac10-USC, Big 12-OU&Tex) have had numerous BCS representatives over the last decade.

In a BCS conference you have to be first (or second in many cases) out of a dozen teams ... or a half dozen and get lucky in a conference championship game. As non-BCS, you have to be the best (or second best if you consider last year) out of 53, and even then you aren't guaranteed.

Utes will cruise in the pac until their Texas recruiting pipeline drys up. Four years maybe?
