I don't think Utah is (was) in the Pac without Urban's influence there. He put the program on the big map and made Utah into a little school that could, and Whittingham maintained it to the point where they are now a big boy program.
The counter would be Bowling Green. While Urban put them on the map while he was there, they fell off the planet after he left. Meaning it take more than just one powerful coach having a couple good years and then someone to maintain. It takes a lot of people for a long period of time to elevate to a level that has longevity.

Ducks might want to check the bus for their defense


For having a defensive background AND highly rated defensive players across that side of the ball, Dan Lanning’s defense utterly failed. Gave up 481 yds and folded like a frightened poker player down the stretch. No answers for the Huskies elite receiving corps of McMillan, Odunze, Polk, and Bernard.

Congrats Washington. Planning on walking over in an hour and catching Texas-Ok St at MGM's sportsbook.

Utah had much better resources than BG had, and a rabid fane base. That was there before Urbs - you are correct.

When UW played them in the 1996 Copper Bowl, they brought like 35K fans to Tucson. Quite impressive.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

A Michigan-Washington Rose Bowl (semifinal) would be a fine way to really end the ICFR/Western Conference/Big Ten-P12/10/8/PCC era.
Ya they are 2-2 in the Rose Bowls Don James coached in all 4 of those games.Bo in 2 of them

pretty sure the green OSU defense is WAY better than the OSU cowpoke defense

Seemed like a B1G East trouncing the B1G West CCG up until that interception/score. 

But Texas answers to make it 35-14 and I think they're just going to keep running away with this one.

I’m a fan of teams wearing solid jerseys against other like Boise and UNLV.

Are Wazzou and OSU3 demonstratively better than Boise and UNLV? Or will they just blend into the Mountain West pack?

This is getting interesting.   

What if Bama wins, and so do Michigan and FSU? Who are your 4 teams?

If you assume undefeated conf champs should be in ( and they should). 

Who gets that 4th spot?   Bama or Texas?   You would have to go with Texas.   Head to head in Tuscaloosa.

A Bama win makes things very interesting for the committee
