In Graham Watson's world, TCU had a better decade than Utah

More irrational goodness from the keyboard of Graham Watson! Yesterday she ranked the best non-BCS teams of the decade and today she ranked the best non-BCS programs of the decade.  Her...

First look at Holy War or: There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics

Well the statistics were right about that pesky TCU game, anyway! So, who's to say they won't at least paint a better picture about the Holy War? Especially when you consider the team that generally l...

Utah's biggest advantage? They've been here before

What has been overlooked as Utah enters Saturday's contest is the fact these Utes have been here before. Nearly every player on Utah's roster should easily remember last year's game against TCU. It wa...

What the 16-point spread means

The face of non-BCS football (2009 edition)

Last year I presented a similar case establishing the face of non-BCS football. I came to the conclusion that Boise State, two seasons removed from its Fiesta Bowl victory, had clearly -- an...

A Look Back to Week 11
