You should have included Southern Utah in that list.
Utes are in a re-tooling year......While BYU is ramping up.....
Utes may consider the Y the biggest game of the year.....but I doubt the Y considers lowly Utah their biggest game.......
I predict it will be over before half-time!
@TRUTH, care to wager on that prediction? BYU hasn't beaten Utah by more than 7 points since 1996. They've required a miracle in order to win every year since.
TRUTH,
BYU is breaking in a totally new offense with players who only managed a 7-6 record last season. Along with that, our defense is better than last year and we shut down your running game while significantly stalling your entire offense. You've bought into all the hype and I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. The Utes will take it in another close one.
We are a much better team than Utah. All 10 of the top games this year are the games BYU is playing.
@Mildred in Fillmore
That doesn't sound arrogant at all... Will you say that when Utah and USU have beaten the Cougs at home this year?
Whoa, simmer down the BCS talk already. This is turning into the "Quest for Perfection" debacle of a couple of years ago. If the Y gets one loss, bye-bye BCS. You might want to wait until at least October before thinking BCS.
Mildred says things tongue-and-cheek.
I like the selections. I might have included BYU and Utah State as an interesting local game in general, instead of Pitt-Utah, though as a Ute fan I am excited about that game.
Gonna be fun. 24 more hours....
It's not just the SEC speed, but the size of that speed.
BYU vs Utah is the #1 game only if both are undefeated going into the game. BYU vs TCU should be ranked much higher, probably #3.
If we're judging the Top Games by how many people will watch them, it'll be 1. BYU vs Texas, 2. BYU vs TCU, 3. BYU vs Ole Miss, 4. BYU vs Utah, 5. Utah vs USC, 6. BYU vs UCF, 7. BYU vs Hawaii.
