MWC gets 3 ranked teams in 1st preseason poll

Utah (18), TCU (17), and BYU (24) are all ranked in the coaches poll. First time in history that three members from a non-BCS conference are in the top 25. The Big East has none. Good thing the cronies at the BCS headquarters continually kick the MWC and keep them down. Of these three teams, how many MWC teams will be ranked in the top 25 at the end of the season? Last year the MWC finished with three in the top 25, Utah and TCU in the top 10.

What does everyone see in Utah. No way they are a top 20 team. TCU, sure. BYU, sure. Utah though? No way. It wouldn't surprise me to see the Utes lose 4 or 5 this season...lock losses are at Oregon, at TCU, and at BYU, and I am not sure how they fair against at CSU, at UNLV, AFA or Louisville. Let alone, the Wyoming Cowboys on Halloween night!

Their preseason ranking is based on last year's success more than anything, I would guess.

Just another reason to not pay attention to them until after week 3 or 4.
 
Agreed, they have lost a lot and their ranking seems to be based on last year finish. I wouldn't be surprised if AFA, UNLV, or UW beat them this year, BUT I think they have had nice recruiting and the new starters will step in nicely. I think their rankings are where I would put em, the system in Utah has worked, they will miss Brian Johnson most of all - I think it all comes down to QB play.

My prediciton for the U is 10-2, possibly 9-3. I'm going for loses at Oregon (I'm hoping i'm wrong and they pull it out), and a loss at TCU. They whY game is a toss up every year, the only time you could really say the U was going to lose was in the 80's. And if you think the cowboys are going to do anything down here on Halloween, hopefully your new coach knows how to use his middle finger like your last one.

Although I did enjoy the cross-field salute to KW from Joe, and I thought it was well deserved, I don't think our new coach is going to let our kids quit like Glenn did...and I don't forsee any 50 point losses happening against MWC opponents with this staff.
