  1. I think we match up better with UW than WSU. Leach’s Air Raid has always been problematic for Utah.
  
  2. UW would have to play back-to-back road games (@WSU and @P12 ‘Ship), and no P12 team has won back-to-back road games this year.
  
  So, for these reasons, I say Go Huskies!

  Utah hasn’t had a fairly officiated game against either team. If you get SEC refs or something for this game is what needs to be done.

  I would add to that, the Pac-12 officials would have no incentive to “help” the Huskies because neither they or us will be making the playoff. There is still a chance that Wazzu could sneak in and the conspiracy theorist in me worries the Pac-12 will do anything they can to help them win the title game.

    At some point the conference has to be concerned about their credibility, don’t they? It hasn’t happened yet, but it has to happen eventually. Doesn’t it?

      If the home-office overruling targeting calls didn’t do it, I doubt anything short of video proof of collusion will do it.

        I’m sad to say that I agree with you.

      Disagree that it hasn’t happened yet. In talking with college football fans around the country, P12 officiating is viewed by EVERYONE as the absolute bottom of the barrel and woefully inept.

        But what evidence do you have that the conference is concerned about their credibility? CFB fans have thought the Pac-12 officials were a joke for years.
