For all the abuse I've heaped on Andy Ludwig, he had a long-term plan and established it even when it wasn't clicking early. Utes are vulnerable to the right matchup, but they're playing tremendous football right now.
1/2 in Tier D: Was pretty easy to put them ahead of the Badgers as they have only 1 loss in 9 games compared with 2 losses in 8 games. Helps that their 1 loss is decent (USC)
Utah put together a great offensive performance against a tough Washington team. Just enough to edge Auburn for the #10 spot this week, who put up good numbers themselves against a fairly pedestrian Ole Miss.
