Doogitywoogity	9	This is more reflective of Georgia’s performance vs Arkansas in comparison to the Utes last week. That is far from a great way to do this but we’re still super early. Utah’s favorable first half of the season schedule will continue for a few more games before they start getting really tested.

Justanother_0	11	This is a tough one to rank. On one hand they didn’t schedule East Walmart in place of Arkansas, but on the other it’s not like scheduling Walmart is much better. I expect this team to be competing for the Big XII, but they just don’t stack up on paper to the teams ahead of them.

Pyromania1983	17	For as good as BYU has looked, the Utah Utes aren't too far behind. their offense might not be as good as the Cougars, but their defense definitely is. In a matchup against Utah State in Week 3, Utah's defense put up a shutout. They have allowed no more than 14 points in any of their games this season, held Utah State to just 188 yards overall, and created two turnovers. Great performance!

ValarMorghulis_17	12	Statistically the Utes are a great team. I won't be surprised if they keep winning and climbing the polls.
_THE__BOULDER_	13	Utah dominates the teams that they are bigger than, and they did that this past Saturday. It's rare for a team to out-physical them (idk if that's a term). By comparison, Washington beat this team by 2 last week. Given what I saw across both those games, Utah State actually has a decent defense, and I think that the Utah vs Washington games goes to show the wide gaps that can occur between borderline playoff team and a team that rounds out the top 25. Pretty confident Utah is a fringe playoff team with the potential to sneak in there. Curious to see how they do in conference play this year.

quantum_jedi	25	(33.70, -10) Utah did what Washington couldn't and crushed Utah State. However the Utes drop due to other teams having better wins this week. Regardless, this Utah team is really good.
