Isn't the preseason ranking what you Ewete fans used to downplay BYU's win over Oklahoma last year? Yup. Now you're knocking me for bringing it up? Yup. Typical Ewete fan.
Pretty sure I didn't say anything about 1984. Neither did Beantown. He said they beat the #15 team in the nation. I didn't realize Utah had played Auburn or LSU (depending on which poll you look at). The only thing that matters is final ranking. Since you mentioned 1984, I'll remind you that BYU's final rank that year was 1. Something Utah has never done. But go ahead say Cougar fans dwell on the past. It was a Ute who brought it up this time.
Pretty sure I've never said anything regarding Oklahoma's preseason ranking last year, but keep grasping at straws. And since I did bring up 1984, it was BYU's win against the preseason #3 that vaulted them up the polls. Then again, it was just the polls and you're right, they did get votes to finish #1. I've never disputed that and even defended it because that was the system at the time. But were they the best team? Very doubtful, just the only undefeated team and the Utes have never gone undefeated, have they?
