    ya the 12 team playoff would be pretty interesting this year.
    would be something like, UGA, OSU, FSU, UW on byes for top 4.
    first round be mich vs tulane, bama vs mizz, oreg vs louisville, texas vs osu

    pretty exciting and unique matchups

    honestly I think we will probably get into the top 12 next year in the big 12. We just faced one of…[Read more]

    osu doesn’t need to beat washington. They need to beat oregon and lose to washington for it all to work out.
    If they beat washington and lose to oregon then its either oreg/osu depending on if oreg beats asu.

    This weekend we want ASU, washington, utah, and usc to all. The usc game doesn’t totally matter tho. If it ends up a 4 way tie…[Read more]

    If you want to continue to be delusional about our chances to the pac 12 champ. We are not fully eliminated from contention if there is a 5 way tie for 2nd at 6-3. The big “if” here is oregon needs to lose the last two games. Not impossible but unlikely.

    Then it looks like this. Washington in at 9-0 or 8-1 (as long as the loss is to wsu and…[Read more]

  • Ya it could definitely come down to multiple team tie at 7-2. There’s no way to predict how that would shake out this early.

  • I would guess we go up to 14 and they drop to 15. There were a couple losses ahead of us and now we both have one loss and ours will likely be higher rank than theirs.

  • Wash in Seattle is going to be very hard to win without developing an air attack somehow.

    Usc is beatable. Losing to Nd who plays very similar ball to us.

    Asu is a win.

    Oregon is a tough game again.

    Colorado is a win.

    Arizona is all over the place but it’s a freshman qb and we tend to mess those guys up so I’ll say thats a win.

    I…[Read more]

  • They lost to an average Mississippi State team and only beat Stanford by one point. I think they are very susceptible. Although fifita seems quite a bit more dynamic than Delaura.

    Great Block by Glover on the 72 yard touchdown by vaki. He is the lead blocker that takes out the end contain. Awesome play.

  • Dahle lama

    This guys stuff is really cool

  • Based on average production of both teams thus far into the season you would expect ucla to  30.5 and utes to score 33.   We, on average, score 7.5 more than teams usually allow.  UCLA score 8.8 more than teams usually allow.  Our defense usually allows 8.4 less than teams usually score.  UCLA defense usually holds to 4.2 less than teams usually…[Read more]

    Where is the Utes section for the florida game?
    hoping to avoid be surrounded by gator fans for the game. 

  • popbirch started the topic stats vs OSU in the forum Football 3 years ago

    I think we match up pretty well against OSU.  They only struggled this year against 4 teams.  Oregon, penn st, neb, and michigan.   I chose those since I think we will put up a fight.  I don’t see any way of this being a blow out game. 
     

    Utah defense is inbetween mich/penn and nebraska/oregon.  On average those teams held OSU to 28.5 and…[Read more]

  • I got 6 from the OSU site. All the resale options are crazy right now.

  • Masks are effective. Vaccines are effective. Mask mandates have a lot data to show that they reduce the number of deaths. Wear a mask. Get vaccinated. It saves lives. It’s not perfect but it’s better than not doing either. I’m a physician and I take care of people with this disease and interact with them on a daily basis.

  • popbirch replied to the topic common opponents, UCLA in the forum Football 5 years, 1 month ago

    Kelly played in all 3 of those games
    WSU 20 carries for 90 yds (4.5/carry)
    ASU 34 carries for 164 yds (4.8/carry)
    OSU 21 carries for 41 yds (3.5/carry)

  • Common opponent analysis vs UCLA.  
    we have both played ASU, OSU and WSU. 
    UCLA is 2-1, utah is 3-0.  
    UCLA is 140-143 pts scored/allowed in those games.  (67 of those off pts was the WSU game, so 73 in the other 2)
    UTAH is 111-23 scored/allowed.  
    Our defense has done 120 pts better in those 3 games.  
    Just food for…[Read more]

  • Defensively, contain the run first and foremost. Second, pressure the QB. In their only loss (colorado) they gave up 3 sacks. ASU has allowed 16 sacks. We should have plenty of pressure on daniels. He’s evasive but I imagine lloyd or bernard will spy him most plays.

    Offensively, they are vulnerable in the air. Run enough to keep them…[Read more]

  • popbirch replied to the topic picks going forward in the forum Football 5 years, 2 months ago

    I think so too. This is just a software based prediction thing. Its not really my opinion. Its also not great at picking the actual score but pretty good at picking the winner and reasonable good at picking the margin of victory.

    I feel like the col and UA games we are going to end up being more of shootout than most of us would like but we…[Read more]

  • I keep a little data analysis thing for predicting games going forward.  Here are some updated picks after last weekends data is in.  
     
    at USC, utah wins 30-21
    vs WSU utah loses 24-28  🙁
    vs osu utah wins 34-21
    vs asu utah wins 24-10,  This is a weird game on paper, but ASU offense so far has been pretty bad which means against a good…[Read more]

  • popbirch replied to the topic picks going forward in the forum Football 5 years, 3 months ago
