OK! Now I'm a little pi**ed off! Why are you all so quick to disregard the thought of a championship? Sure it's tough, sure it's rare, but it's possible! Utah has had 2 teams in the last 8 years that were close. BYU has one to rest it's head on and had a few teams that were close to achieving perfection (check 06' season, 2 wins away from perfection, check 07' season, 2 wins away. A little more focus and luck and they're there).
I know things are different now, but if Utah went undefeated in the Pac12 they're in, if BYU goes undefeated in 2013 they're in! Anyone want to debate this? I'll shove their schedules down your throat!
They can both get there, with smart scheduling and proper positioning! Stop with the THEY CAN'T GET THERE! Tell that to Bronco, tell that to Whitt, they'll say it's tough as all hell, but far from impossible.
To get there you have to play a smart schedule, you have to stay injury free, or relatively injury free, you have to have great team leaders, season long focus, a little bit of luck and a whole lot of hard work! It's possible so stop writing it off!
I was on the sideline for the 1996 BYU Cotton Bowl season, 1 win away from a shot at the national championship! Sure things were different then, but we could have done it with a simple bounce or two our way in that Washington game!
Go ahead and say it won't happen, doubt Bronco and Whitt all you want, but these coaches have shown they're capable of perfection and near perfection, who's to say it couldn't come around again. I for one say it's very possible, and I applaud them both for scheduling to achieve the highest glory! It tells me they believe it as well.
