On the issue of Utah doing anything, I've taken a different attitude of late on that. The same goes for Boise State.
Because for myself as a fan I want to see the MWC become a BCS conference and have an automatic bid (I still believe that the BCS administration will change the qualifying rules before the MWC has a chance to qualify, which they appear to be doing, as long as BYU beats Utah, I don't have any problem with Utah winning their games and being ranked in the top 25. I don't want them to beat TCU this week because I think the money and the prestige that the MWC will get is better for us for TCU to win, regardless if that shuts the door on a MWC co-championship for us. We had our opportunity and didn't take care of it on the field, so now I want TCU to make it and BYU will reap the money that will flow into our pockets from having a MWC team in the BCS and the conference will benefit, which benefits us.
As long as Boise stays behind TCU, let them win and be ranked as high as possible since I have to believe that if we allow them MWC admision in 2012 (or thereabouts) for the sake of the boost it will give the MWC due to their BCS finishes, it could close the door behind us in qualifying for a BCS automatic qualification.
So while it doesn't hurt me when Utah loses, and in this case for this year I especially hope they lose to TCU, I want them to rank as high as possible because I'm being selfish and I want the auto-qualification.
