UTES ABOVE .500, BEAT ARIZONA IN TUCSON

Why? I don’t know, but Sun Devils just took the lead.

Kenneth makes me laugh.

like JW VI

I just checked the script with Uncle Larry and that is what is planned.

UCLA is in the lead because both have 2 losses, but beat ASU for the tie-breaker…

…I don’t see another loss on ASU’s schedule.

They only have 2 conferences losses right now.

I love that show…why are they not making any more? It’s not like shows like Community are better / more deserving of a time slot…

Hays was one dropped pass away from 3 TD’s and no INT’s. I can’t wait for DVC to get back in rhythm. I still see Hays having one more bad game this season, but hopefully that’s paired with a good night for White. Hays’ accuracy is still a little subpar, but his decision making his much improved. Props to Byrd. National special teams player of the week for sure.

Everyone knows ASU is capable of melting down at any time.

The Pac-12 isn’t necessarily a stickler for using standings to decide who goes where. It’s possible Stanford gets into the NC game, which would then probably put Oregon in the Rose Bowl and ASU, if they win the South, in the Alamo Bowl, maybe Utah in the Holiday (though I bet Washington goes), depending on where they finish, or the Sun.

My guess:

8-4 – Holiday (unless Washington wins out, then the Huskies become a desirable option).
8-4 – Sun (if Washington goes to Holiday)
7-5 – Las Vegas (Assuming Cal isn’t selected and UCLA is that fifth loss)
7-5 – Kraft Hunger (Cal goes to Vegas instead)
6-6 – ?

I guess it’s possible, at 6-6, Utah goes to the New Mexico Bowl, but that only happens if Stanford/Oregon both aren’t in the BCS (and right now, even if Oregon wins this weekend, I think there is a good shot both play in the BCS). If the Ducks/Cardinal, like last year, play in BCS bowls, there won’t be a Pac-12 team available, since Utah, at 6-6, would be the last bowl eligible team (unlikely Washington State wins out and Oregon State, Arizona and Colorado have already too many losses to gain a bowl berth).

So it’s possible Utah gets to the Kraft and in fact, CFN projects them there, but playing USU (who I think Utah would beat pretty easily because their offensive strength, their run game, goes right up against our strength on defense – the run).

That could be possible if Utah loses once more this season, especially if that loss is to UCLA, who then becomes a potentially more desirable team, even if they lose to SC and finish 7-5.

If Utah beats UCLA, though, I think it’s very unlikely they drop that far unless they stumble against Washington State or Colorado (unlikely at the moment).

My guess, they’re looking at the Sun Bowl at the moment, but things can change in a hurry.
