It was projected to be the toughest schedule in the country in the pre-season, and after the season played out, the Pac-12, specifically the Pac-12 South, was a gauntlet. Utah emerged 8-4 overall, with a 5-4 conference record, and the AP somewhat recognized that by ranking Utah at #24 in this weeks AP Poll. The Coaches Poll, or what should be known as the Coaches intern/assistant Poll, has Utah unranked.
Utah is joined by Oregon, Arizona, ASU and, UCLA - the usual suspects for this season. USC is also just on the outside looking in. Utah was ranked 25th in the CFP poll this past week, and it will be interesting where the committee places Utah this coming Tuesday.
