Anyone feel disrespected?

utah has beaten the pac-ten 10 times and boise only has beaten them 4 times. those games were with oregon and oregon state(bsu). we have beaten everybody but washington, stanford and arizona state. although we have not played those teams since the bcs was adopted.

I agree with everything you have said. Boise is a great team (even though I hate to admit that because I can’t stand them) but they are. The reason we would go before Boise is that Salt Lake City is a much bigger market than Boise is. Utah has shown they can beat the big boys and play with the big boys each week. Not trying to take anything away from Boise’s two BCS bowls, but who did they honestly beat in those two years to get there? The WAC is the worst conference in Div. 1-A football. Boise SHOULD go undefeated through conference play and they never play anyone for a non conference game. Utah beat Alabama easily. Boise State (sorry bronco lovers) but would not have beaten that Alabama team last year. No comparison. If Utah doesn’t go to the Pac-10, then Boise should man up and come to the Mtn. West, and bring Fresno or Houston even with them. If the Mtn. West wants to be taken seriously as a “big 6” conference, they need to expand their market and football programs. Unless they do that, I think Utah will eventually leave (sooner than later) to the Pac-10.

I also agree with wolfmanshowlforever, the Utes basketball program is not what is was ten years ago. But they are improving. They won the conference last year, and yes granted they did get knocked out of the tournament in the first round last year, but they won the conference. Not to mention they also won the Baseball title as well. Utah’s women’s basketball team is amazing and will continue to get better. Their gymnastics are at the top of the nation year in and year out. Utah has a huge medical impact on the nation. Utah will eventually join the Pac-10. They are an OVERALL better school, and market than Boise. Who cares how much ESPN shows Boise killing New Mexico State in football on Thursday nights. When Utah goes to the Pac-10, it will show who deserves to be there more—Utah. Great post by the way.

plus they usually have a good women’s basketball team.

Last year Utah got all the love.

the pressure is on bsu for the first time. lets see how they do when they are the hunted. they could still go 11-1 but would not get a bcs bowl bid. it would still be a great season to go 11-1 but i think they want 12-0 and a crack at ncg. i hope they do it but i think they purposely moved that game to the first game of the season so bsu would have to think about it for the next 6 months. the mind games have already started. i also say sec officialls will referee the game.
