No. 13 Utah absolutely outclassed the Baylor Bears in Waco, walking out with a dominant 49-28 win, showing exactly why they are bearing down on a college football playoff berth.

The discussion covers Rhodes' track record at Baylor, the interim leadership structure under Cody Hall and Jovan Overshown, and whether departmental instability might paradoxically...

The argument that BYU and Utah are undervalued by the College Football Playoff Committee often centers on a deep-seated institutional and brand bias that favors traditional powerhouses. Despite both teams—especially after joining the new P4 conference—amassing solid resumes, the committee’s ranking logic appears inconsistent when compared to peer teams from the SEC or Big Ten. For BYU, the undervaluation is evident even in their best years. When the Cougars were undefeated, they were often ranked below one-loss teams from the perceived “elite” conferences, suggesting a penalty for a lack of "brand credibility" rather than on-field pe...

The...

Baylor Bears Athletic Director Mack Rhoades faces scrutiny after an internal investigation reveals physical altercations with tight end Michael Trigg and an assistant coach. Has Rhoades crossed the line with his sideline access to Dave Aranda's football program?
