And I really don't think BriJon would have started ahead of Max, or would be on the depth chart at RB or QB at BYU right now. I would argue they are less talented and deep than they were a few years ago.

People (mostly the Local Sports Radio) talk up how amazing BriJon is, but I have yet to see it. The Utes will finish up in the Middle of the MWC like they have since Urban left... and they did before he showed up.

Because Utah keeps finishing towards the top of the MWC on a yearly basis. And Brian Johnson would have started before Max Hall got a chance and he would be 2nd string right now so dont down play their players just because they are the UTES they still have very good talent we are just better and hopefully it will stay that way for awhile.

I think the local sports radio people just subscribe to the notion that everyone hopes for a good BJ once in a while.

I don't know who this blogger is but this is what he has for his top 12 picks:

This year, I have decided to streamline my College Football Postseason as the 12 Teams who get to be called Conference Champions will be the ones eligible to play for a playoff as the teams 13-20 will play in the Sugar, Cotton, Fiesta and Rose Bowl as I really do feel that the APR will swallow some of these bowls whole as there is no such thing as a Bad Bowl, but truthfully enough, there could be 2nd Thoughts when a Bowl is 100 Miles from a Division I Campus or designed more as a vacation spot instead of a serious football game.

1 Rutgers
2 Kansas
3 Kentucky
4 BYU
5 Fresno State
6 Western Kentucky
7 Ball State
8 Stanford
9 SMU
10 Minnesota
11 Navy
12 North Carolina

Later on, I will unveil my 2008 Preseason Top 20 College Football Poll as some of these teams will be in superepics for matchups this Labor Day Weekend.

I don't really understand the logic here, but basically this preseason ranking is crap. Is it August yet?

as much as i like byu up there this guy needs to lay off the sauce

He is just picking as if there were a 12 team playoff between the conference champs of all the conferences. Those teams would automatically be the top 12 teams according to his system.

The MWC crown will be a three horse race btwn BYU/TCU/UTAH.

The Horned Frogs have the potential to be really dangerous. I hope we win the game in FT.Worth this year. I have that day marked on my calendar with a BIG BLUE Marker
