@RSNBforLife @JackieBlueMagoo @CFBTalkDaily I also think it is interesting just as a "business" study matter that Utah wanted to be first to sell their team to private equity. Probably out of necessity.

[TripleJB @JimJackJoeB]

@RSNBforLife @JackieBlueMagoo @CFBTalkDaily I'm plenty comfortable that my team would and will beat Utah if presented that opportunity in the playoffs. Just pointing out that the sports experience at the SEC schools you criticize is a richer experience than at Utah. I think you'd agree. It does matter in the NIL era.

[TripleJB @JimJackJoeB]

@RSNBforLife @JackieBlueMagoo @CFBTalkDaily Utes are clearly a very proud bunch and I'm sure they'll do well. But it seems like they really crave being in a better conference. So maybe that should be their focus. I think Big12 would likely welcome them soon.

[TripleJB @JimJackJoeB]

@RSNBforLife @JackieBlueMagoo @CFBTalkDaily No problems with ratings in the games I care about. How many people watched the "holy war" at 9AM? About as many people as car about a regional grudge match.

[TripleJB @JimJackJoeB]

@ReelJakeDietz @secnumbersguy You all keep wishing you were in a top conference. I get it - it would be a lot more fun. A fan base desperate for respect. Fact is : you already have it so enjoy. Now Prove you are actually #2 (or #1 as you all seem to believe). And get a basketball team.

[TripleJB @JimJackJoeB]

@CornerCanyonUte @secnumbersguy Utah has a serious inferiority complex and they are projecting.

[TripleJB @JimJackJoeB]

@secnumbersguy The part nobody talks about. Utah can rest the whole second half most games because they play garbage teams. All of their "tough" games have come at home (e.g. Houston, BYU, "Arkansas was supposed to show they can play the SEC). All home.

[TripleJB @JimJackJoeB]

@RSNBforLife @JackieBlueMagoo @CFBTalkDaily BTW your team is now owned by a Wall Street private equity company. And you were the first to to that. So there's that... Utah seems desperate for respect.

[TripleJB @JimJackJoeB]

@RSNBforLife @JackieBlueMagoo @CFBTalkDaily Diagnosis: SEC membership envy. I don't blame you. The SEC experience is truly awesome. Utah does its best in the Big 12 and they have a proud fan base that enjoys it. But you can't recreate a night rivalry SEC game on national television. And that fact fits somewhere here...

[TripleJB @JimJackJoeB]

@RSNBforLife @CFBTalkDaily You now have the opportunity. So seize it and prove it.

[TripleJB @JimJackJoeB]

@RSNBforLife @JackieBlueMagoo @CFBTalkDaily Great. So go play.

[TripleJB @JimJackJoeB]

@RSNBforLife @JackieBlueMagoo @CFBTalkDaily BTW how is Utah basketball looking this year? Some conferences and schools support multiple sports.

[TripleJB @JimJackJoeB]

@RSNBforLife @JackieBlueMagoo @CFBTalkDaily The Utah Ranking argument seems: #1: We're undefeated. Cool and OK . #2: We beat Houston. Good win. #3: We beat BYU. That's the main claim. And BYU's claim was that it beat Notre Dame (that had cupcake schedule) Circular justification. Try playing 9 tough conference games.

[TripleJB @JimJackJoeB]

@RSNBforLife @JackieBlueMagoo @CFBTalkDaily Look - you've had a great season - but maybe don't get too far ahead of yourselves and be a little humble. You have to show up for 3 games a season. That's not the situation in the SEC. Be respectful.

[TripleJB @JimJackJoeB]

@Vol_Football Done. Bishop, Carter, Gilliam

[TripleJB @JimJackJoeB]

@HighRise202233 @CFB_Dalton And your strength of schedule is somewhere between 81 and 83 I believe? Why does that matter? Your guys are always rested and healthy against the few top teams you have to play. That's the difference.

[TripleJB @JimJackJoeB]

@HighRise202233 @CFB_Dalton Auburn is better than Colorado

[TripleJB @JimJackJoeB]

@saltcitysportut @RogersGord9178 @ByuSome Sorry SOS between 81 and 83. My bad.
