Pre Snap Read - #66 Utah

[dc4azcats]

How does that taste Utah:

This is doubly true in the Pac-12 South Division, where at least three teams – and perhaps four – enter the latter days of summer conditioning with distinct and realistic hopes of winning 10 or more games and taking a spot in the conference title game.

This is good for the Pac-12, the deepest conference in the country, but bad for Utah – yes, Utah, the former Mountain West Conference power with exactly 10 wins since the start of the 2012 season, five in league play.

Utah hasn't ceded control of the division to Arizona State, USC and UCLA; the Utes never owned it, nor made even a halfhearted run at the Rose Bowl during the program's three seasons in the Pac-12. The Utes simply came, saw and were conquered, quickly becoming to the South Division's elite what California and Washington State have been to the North.

For the Utah lovers out there here's an interesting tidbit:

Tidbit (Pac-12 edition): Utah has only five wins against Pac-12 competition during the past two seasons, as noted earlier. One of those wins came against Stanford, which went on to take the Pac-12. But the remaining quartet came against four opponents with a combined 5-31 record in league play: Colorado (1-8), Washington State (1-8) and California (2-7) in 2012, and Colorado (1-8) again last fall.

since wsu has shown improvement...utah has been the 3rd worst team in the conference the last couple years. i think they'll be slightly better this year, but their absolute ceiling is like 8-5 with the potential basement around 3-9.

Serves there high and mighty fans right IMO.
