Crazy as it sounds, I think Utah might be the best team in the Pac 12 - South

Let's look at the contenders:

USC - Well, yeah. Historically, and especially for the last 10 years or so, USC has been the gold standard of college football dominance. But wait, they're on four years probation, will have 30 fewer scholarships to give out over the next three years, and can't play in a bowl game, so they'll be automatically eliminated from playing in the 2011 CCG even if they win the South.

UCLA - Skippy is running things - nuff said. They'll likely be on probation, right along with their USC bretheren, in another two years.

UofA - Interesting situation here. They are definitely on the upswing, but I'm still not convinced they're as good as Utah.

ASU - Dennis Erickson has already over-stayed his welcome in Tempe. Probably gone before 2011 anyway. Even if he's not, I don't see them making much noise. It could happen, but Utah is better, IMO.

CU - we suck. Until Hawkins is fired, and then likely for a few years after, we're going to be terrible.

That leaves ... Utah.
 
What about UW? I think they take the pac-10 next year.

Nevermind i'm an idot. I can't read
 
Still, I wonder how Utah will fare playing a full-on conference sked in a conference that isn't made up of 2-3 decent-to-good teams but rather 6-8 decent-to-top 10 teams?
 
The parity in the Pac is what has me excited! As much as SC has dominated this conference, there have been 7 different teams go to the Rose bowl from the Pac in the last 20 years. Oregon, USC, Washington, Washington st, Stanford, UCLA and Arizona st. If you want to count BCS berths, you can add Oregon st in there as they went to the Fiesta a few years back. That makes 8 out of 10 different teams with bcs berths the last 20 years.

Compare that to the Big 8/12 the last 20 years and you have 6 teams. Colorado, Nebraska, Texas, Oklahoma, Texas A&M and Kansas st.

I agree, I think both Colorado and Utah will take their share of lumps with teams welcoming them to Pac football.
 
Love the division. Playing USC, and UCLA every year is huge. This will make it much more convenient for CU fans to get to away games. Direct flights from DIA to each place (not sure about Tuscon).
 
Take a look at some of Utah's commits right now, we have a long way to go to make this some sort of "rivalry" between the schools. We are going to get pummeled by them but hopefully that will be in the short term once we get a coach that is halfway decent.

You also have to factor in the MAJOR jump in $ they are taking. You think CU is getting a boost coming to the PAC, its nothing compared to what Utah is getting. And Utah has had some damn good teams in the last few years. I expect them to be a VERY good team in the PAC.
 
UA is turning a corner and on their way up. Right now I'd say USC or UA if it was next year.

Having said that, ... perhaps it's best to see how the conference is aligned?:smile2:

Bohn was quoted today that it would be divided in North and South divisions as are being discussed here
 
You better believe it.

We're gonna beat you guys just like we beat your little brothers at CSU. We might even abuse you like we abused BYU back in 2008 right before we went to the Sugar Bowl.

Speaking of which, when is the last time you guys went to a BCS bowl? Utah has been to two in the last 6 seasons.

I'm just playing - thought I'd get off to a good smack-talking start with you.

I'm just so dizzy with excitement about finally getting out of the crappy MWC and into a nicer neighborhood. We can't wait to start playing some real competition instead of the patsies in our old conference.

Welcome us to the Pac-12 Buff Brothers! Let the Good Times Roll!
 
Ute fan here.
Appreciate the respect.
We don't know how well we'll do but in Kyle we trust. Coach Whitt will never let the team look beyond the week let alone the year.
One thing we do know, coach Whitt will get our players ready each week.
Looking foward to 2011!

Good luck Buffs!

Go Utes!!

How do you think your team will adjust to playing real teams every week?
 
Ute-strong! Boo yah!

You sound just like a BYU fan bragging about NCs and Heismans I thought we were getting away from trophy case smack when we left those loosers behind

How is bragging about a BCS game victory that didnt get you a trophy better than National Championship smack?

Ease up on the copy/paste, come up with something original instead of posting the same thing 3 times so far.

Because our BCS game was last year not decades ago and it was with our current coach.

Nobody cares about the past or tradition - all that matters is what have you done for me lately.

Sorry I'll only write new stuff now but you guys have got to meet me halfway and come up with some original smack and not the same tired old stuff I've been hearing for years from BYU fans.

Some of the "Same old smack" you've heard is coming from some of your same old rivals, a CSU fan
 
How do you think your team will adjust to playing real teams every week?

You mean real teams like Alabama, Cal, Michigan, Oregon and Oregon State, TCU and (yes) even BYU? Those are all very good teams and we've beaten them all.

Meanwhile, you've been beating up on Iowa State and CSU and losing to everyone else in the Big 12.

I like our chances.
