It's too risky. Second thing is that Utah will be in a BCS bowl this year. They are automatically in. OSU is in competition with Boise St for a spot.

if they do nothing to toughen their schedule, than they have no right to turn around and complain-you can't have it both ways. i doubt an honest effort has been made to take on tougher opponents. for example, lsu and oklahoma will start facing each other in i believe two years. neither one has to add tougher opponents, yet they chose to do so, which is a good thing for fans. if they can do this, certainly these other schools can do the same-and with multi-year contracts, it would be done on a rotation as far as home field.
