Okay Gentlemen, we are now half way through the 2008 college football season and at this point both Utah and
BYU are looking good. Do you realize that both teams combined have a 27-1 record with the loss coming
for Utah at the BYU/Utah game. Ok, let's not go there! I heard on the Game Day review yesterday as I switched stations in between conference to get my saturday football fix, that the BCS polls are predicting BYU to finish 10th and Utah to finish 11th. That my friends will be ahead of teams like Wisconsin, Ohio State, Florida, etc. Hold on, lets just get a little crazy, what if the cougars even played in a national championship
? (
http://fannation.com/si_blogs/the_sweep/posts/9101) With the NCAA longest winning streak, BYU is getting the national attention, rightfully so. They will continue to get it too as long as they win. However, if this was a poverty stricken world of predictions and I had two cents to contribute, I'd say that the long awaited duel between the two unbeatens in late November might have an early spoiler. I don't beleive that BYU's toughest match will come with Utah, I think the struggle to remain unbeaten will come in Texas against a stingy TCU defense. The hardest part of BYU's schedule is ahead of them.... on the road! In the meantime, I hope both teams continue to climb the polls and shake up the infrastructure over at BCS headquarters. What are your thoughts?

I agree, TCU will be a very big test. Air Force will be tough as well. However, playing at Utah trumps them all - very difficult to win there.
I think in order for BYU to be considered for the national championship they have to win out - beat most of their opponents by large margins, while at the same time, the Top 5 need to each have at least one loss. If that doesn't happen, I don't think the BCS decision makers will consider them. Even though I think they could hold their ground.
I like your blog babe! Nice background!
