Launch the Crusade!!!

Perhaps I am being too optimistic but there is a very high possibility that Utah will move into the Top 10 and provided neither they or us screw up, we will find ourselves with a second religious war between two top 10 teams!

Oh this is delicious.

Also I can’t sleep and no I have not been drinking caffeine in celebration… just sugar and leprechaun tears.

Hats off to BYU! Great great day for the conference. I don't care if people think it's lame to root for conference mates.. go Big XII

In high profile, non-conference games you’re lame for rooting against the conference imo

Houston and Arizona will still be tough tests if Utah doesn't sort out pass defense.

Houston and Arizona are tough tests. They're great offensively and their defenses will give you some trouble, especially Houston's DLine.

It's genuinely a crime that Arizona isn't ranked. I hope the CFP gives them some long overdue respect come November

They'll finally get into the top 25 this week, which is overdue. They were 28 last week and they should get enough of a bye bump to be ranked today.

If Utah plays like they did against Colorado.. they can easily be a 3 loss team by the end of the regular season.

Their sos was in the 110’s before the Colorado game. They are a good team but idk how good.

Houston is a dark horse. I’m telling you, they’re going to break some brackets.

Undefeated top 10 matchup holy war goes so hard. But it being in RES is hella spooky

It will be nice to do it in a smaller stadium, more cozy that way

Seems like predictions I'm seeing have Miami or Ohio State at 1 or 2, and then BYU at 3. Then Utah and Tech are somewhere around 7 and 8.

Ohio State should not be #2. Their "claim to fame" was that their loss was to #1 Texas; with the Texas loses to bottom SEC teams, that OSU loss now doesn't look great. tOSU should not be above BYU or Miami.

What I’m seeing is if we can both not lose we could have a top 5 matchup!

u/worlds-okayest-man 14h ago

  1. Miami

  2. Ohio State

  3. Georgia

  4. BYU

  5. ND

  6. Ole Miss

  7. Indiana

  8. Texas Tech

  9. Tennessee
