AP Poll Released - Utah Ranked 24th

If we won against Utah i wonder if we would've ended up ranked.Logic would seem to suggest so. 

Utah should finish with 8 wins which is what a 24th team does.  It sounds accurate.  Their secondary is going to get exploited bad by a lot of Pac 12 QBs and lets see if their "sack lake city" D line comes around.  They lost one of the best players in the country off it in Nate Orchard and everyone assumes they will just reload. 

Their offense is not explosive and thats going to be an issue in the Pac 12 but again they keep a lot of games close with special teams and defense.

I see them losing to Oregon, UCLA (2 losses) with Arizona State, Arizona, Cal (don't laugh, they might have the #1 QB in the country) and USC all toss up games.  Goff is going to exploit that secondary like mad.  So will Cody Kessler and Rosen.  ASU might.  I don't see the horses in that Utah offense to score 30+ consistently if you dont give them 3 damn INTs.

The pac 12 south is brutal - the only east conf wins I see are colorado and Oregon state.

This will not be popular with everyone here, but Utah is not that good.  I can see them being going 4-5 in the Pac-12, with losses to UO, ASU, USC, Arizona and UCLA.  They did nothing to make me think they have anything dangerous to their team.

"Quality loss" is not in the Michigan dictionary.
