The final two weeks.... | 1:30 p.m. Nov. 16, 2009
Here is a snap shot of the final two weeks of the season for the Y.

Against Airforce: This will be another home loss for the Y. Airforce came within three of TCU and took Utah to overtime. Prediction: Airforce: 34 BYU 27

Against Utah: Utah got beat up against TCU but they did score 28 points. This will be a close game but Utah pulls it out. Prediction: Utah 31 BYU 24

Bronco will finish with 4 losses and will declare the 09 season to be a success none the less. Content with mediocrity. Remember folks - winning is #4 on the priority list for Bronco.

The Cougars need to be playing on all cylinders this weekend when they play the Falcons, otherwise they may not be quite so lucky as they were this past Saturday. That said, the only team the Utes have beaten this year with a winning season is Air Force and it took an overtime to do it. Prediction: BYU will finish the season 10-2; Utah finishes 9-3.

Your prediction seems more like, "I hope this is what happens"

final two weeks, redux | 2:42 p.m. Nov. 16, 2009
Utah, in a mild upset, falls to SDSU in a trap home game between their two biggest games of the season; and then, the Utes fall to BYU, whether big or small, it won't matter, it'll still be a 4-game slide to end the season.

TCU - 13-0, 1st MWC, #2 in AP and Coaches
BYU - 11-2, 2nd MWC, with another Top 25 finish
AFA - 8-5, 3rd MWC tie
Utah - 8-5, 3rd MWC tie
Both 9-2 | 4:05 p.m. Nov. 16, 2009
Both Utah and BYU will be 9-2 entering the 11/28 game. BYU rarely struggles with Air Force. Utah will not overlook SDSU. Predicting the final game is a total crapshoot... could be a blow-out either way or a close one either way. These teams are as close as the rankings suggest (BYU slightly ahead with the voters, Utah slightly ahead with the BCS).

Looking ahead to the next two years, though, I see Utah improving and BYU entering their rebuilding phase.

You fear the Aztecs but not the Cougars? Are you a player, a coach?

What a joke!



Nice post, Ute fan!

Doesn't get more equal than this. Utah fans are always knocking BYU's weak schedule, but they were laughing at BYU for scheduling Oklahoma, and despite having a 6-4 record, Oklahoma was still the 3rd ranked team when BYU beat them, in their own back yard.

Both BYU and Utah are 8-2 and the combined record of their non-conference opponents (since they play the same opponents in the MWC) is 16-23 for Utah and 17-23 for BYU (including the same results against USU, 35-17). Both lost big to TCU in conference (their only conference loses) and both will likely be 9-2 when they meet in Provo.

Okay, TCU is MWC champs, but the battle of Utah comes down to the final game again, and I don't want to hear any more Utah fans whining about BYU's schedule. If you win, all praise to your team and coaches, but if you lose, be good sports and take it like grown ups!
