No 3 Utah hosts No 9 BYU in top-10 Big 12 showdown with college football playoff stakes
No 3 Utah hosts No 9 BYU in an unbeaten-versus-one-loss Big 12 match-up that could shape both teams’ College Football Playoff prospects. Utah could strengthen its position for a first-round bye, while BYU has a chance to boost its standing with a win over a top-ranked opponent.
BYU is 7-1 overall and 4-1 in conference play, while Utah is 8-0. The article notes that Utah has faced only one ranked team so far, and says the teams’ quarterbacks, Bear Bachmeier and Devon Dampier, offer different strengths as runners and passers. Its betting pick is for the total score to stay below 49.5 points.
In short
- Utah and BYU meet in a top-10 Big 12 clash.
- Utah is unbeaten; BYU enters 7-1.
- The result could affect their playoff positions.
