Ha, wait until you play WYO next weekend. You all most likely won't recover from the nutkick your SOS will take.

Looking at that top 25, one thing is clear....BYU and Utah have equally crappy schedules this season.

Nice job, Michigan!

Not so fast, Jar-Jar. 14 of the top 25 teams have a worse schedule strength ranking than Utah (49th):

Auburn (50th)
Cal (59th)
Michigan State (60th)
Oklahoma (80th)
Penn State (86th)
Texas (89th)
Missouri (96th)
Northwestern (97th)
Kansas (99th)
South Florida (106th)
Texas Tech (119th)
Boise State (120th)
BYU (126th)
Oklahoma State (128th)

In other words, only 10 of the ranked teams have played a tougher schedule.

Taking pride in the 49th toughest schedule is like wearing a WNBA Champions t-shirt.

My point was that neither BYU nor Utah play anyone that is currently ranked...besides each other. Almost all the other teams do play someone that is currently ranked.

Hopefully TCU can rank up a bit soon.

tcu is 27th with a lot of tough games next week for the 18-25 teams, they SHOULD be ranked for our game. Two weeks from now when Utah has played wyoming/csu and BYU has played NM and TCU the rankings will be pretty close.

Hold on a minute! Stop dissembling. Here's what you said:

correct. Which means their schedules equally suck.

Two key things happened, Penn State jumped us entirely and SC is making a move.

No matter what happens, and the USU game proves to me, we are barely BCS worthy if we win out, BYU cannot make the NC game no matter what, because USC should not stumble again.

You know, I'd hate for you to get unnecessarily paranoid about your ability to convey meaning or your command of the English language, so I'd like to go on record as saying that it was pretty straightforward what you meant by your original post.
