I graduated from Auburn...enough said.

Utah IS the underdog ... that's a fact ...
4 years ago, that might not have been the case ... if this were the same Utah team that went undefeated in '04, Utah would win ... as a point of clear fact, had the BCS committee been fair in '04, Utah would've beat Auburn in the #2 BCS game ... I'm sure you don't agree, but I'd have bet $$ on it ...
This years' team is not as good as the '04 team was ... they've had to scramble more to win and have performed unevenly at times ... it they have one of their better days, it'll be a really good game and they'll have a chance to win ... if they have an average day, they probably won't cover the spread ... and if they somehow have their worst game of the year on Friday, it could be as bad as you predict.
