Meanwhile we won yet another bowl game.
I rather win smaller bowl games ( besides the Fiesta Bowl AND Sugar Bowl- that we also won) than to get no bowl invite since 2007 and to not win one since 2004 in the Houston Bowl? WTF is the Houston Bowl? A Bowl that's been around for only 6 years? And your giving us shit about playing in bowl games nobody gives a damn about. Go home, you're high.

Buffs Bowl record Won 12, Lost 16
Utes Bowl record Won 16, Lost 4

This is getting good. Keep going.

Nope. I'm giving you shit for not having your stat facts correct. But go ahead and try to deflect.

I'm not a Buff or Ute fan, but I have to point out that beating Indiana is also meaningless by the definition being used to imply importance in this thread. Utah is obviously superior in recent history, but Colorado is overall the better historical program without question.

I want to throw in a new idea here: Rank the best programs in the MW region based on the past 10 years only. BSU and Utah have clearly led the region, but in another couple years CU might jump over everyone if they get back to their 90s form. It's hard to distinguish between BYU and AF at this point, they both get 10 win seasons often and they went back and forth in the MW prior to the BYU exit. I think CU gets the nod at 5 due to the 2016 season being vastly superior to anything the remaining teams have done.

1. Boise St
2. Utah
3a. BYU
3b. Air Force
5. Colorado
6. Utah St
7. Wyoming
8. Colorado St

No, Colorado would be in 7th or 8th place.

ESPN: Taking a look at each Pac-12 coach's best team

Taking a look at each Pac-12 coach's best team
Kyle Bonagura
ESPN Staff Writer

Here's how this works: Each coach's best season is defined, for simplicity and consistency, by his team's ranking in the final AP poll and then listed in reverse order below....

No. 10 Mike MacIntyre, Colorado

Season: Colorado, 2016

Record: 10-4 (8-1, first in Pac-12 South)

Final AP rank: 17

Highest AP rank: 9

Bowl result: Lost to No. 12 Oklahoma State 38-8 in the Alamo Bowl

The team: MacIntyre was previously on this list for taking San Jose State to its only final ranking in the AP poll, No. 21 in 2012, but this surprise Colorado team finished even higher. He deservedly won just about every coach of the year award out there after guiding the Buffaloes to their best season in years.


No. 1 Kyle Whittingham, Utah

Season: Utah, 2008

Record: 13-0 (8-0, Mountain West champions)

Final AP rank: 2

Highest AP rank: 2

Bowl result: Beat No. 4 Alabama 31-17 in the Sugar Bowl

The team: In Whittingham's fourth season as head coach, the Utes finished as the nation's lone undefeated team after starting unranked. Utah opened with a victory at Michigan -- Rodriguez's first game as the Wolverines' coach -- and went on to beat four teams that finished in the final AP poll, including Alabama (6), TCU (7), Oregon State (18) and BYU (25).

Wittingham is definitely a good coach but I think that both Shaw and Peterson are a step above any other PAC12 coach. I also think they should have used one of KW's PAC:12 team

Because this is an analysis of each coach's best team ever, some of the coach's best teams they list aren't even PAC-12 schools, such as Gary Andersen at Wisconsin.

If they looked at only the coaches PAC-12 teams, Utah would be just ahead of Colorado.

Then that is a weird article, why not compare the best season the coach has had in the pac12?

Salt Lake City and Denver have a new special connection.

It's good to see that the Utah Utes are good for something worthwhile.

Garett Bolles will bring the nasty factor to the Broncos offensive line

Bolles was the player Elway and the Broncos targeted, and did so since the NFL Combine.

Everything in Bolles’ life he’s busted his ass to get. He’s a nasty offensive linemen, and that’s what the Broncos need in spades. His attitude and penchant to play mean he will impact the other players in the unit to do the same.

He’s been told throughout his life he can’t. It’s fitting in the greatest moment of his life that theme carries over. That will make his chip even bigger.

He made CSU look like crap. He made Utah look bad. He made CU look respectable at the Big House. And he blocks kicks.
