BYU (8-1)

About the Aztecs: The 1-8 Aztecs only win has come against the Idaho Vandals (2-8). And now comes the difficult part of their schedule, with BYU this week and Utah on Nov. 15. If that wasn't enough, the five-touchdown underdogs are 7-24-1 vs. BYU.

Utah (9-0)

Opponent: TCU

About the Horned Frogs: Like the Utes, a win gives TCU at least a share of the MWC title. The biggest matchup will be TCU's No. 2-ranked defense against Utah's sputtering offense. TCU's Jerry Huges has 14 sacks — three better than anyone else in the country.

Utah State (2-7)
