Here is the newsflash.....if you live outside of Utah, everyone views the Y and the U as a mid-major. Even the year when the U won in the Fiesta, the story was of a feel-good BCS buster, not a legitimate team that deserved to be mentioned in the same breath as the BCS elite that year.
I am fine with it. And it makes it sweeter when we beat those guys. Although it would be nice if we beat them more often....

But with conference affiliations aside? Would you call a program that is in the top 26 in attendance, has the facilities and funding as well as the tradition that we have a mid-major? Are we an elite program, not yet, but we are no longer middle of the pack anymore these past couple of years.
