Tornadohunter24 1 [8-0, 5-0 Big 12] (+2) | SOR: #5 | Notable Results: W 27-24 @ Colorado [3-5], W 21-13 vs #16 Houston [6-2], W 49-25 @ Cincinnati [5-3] |

This weekend, Utah had to make the trek to Cincinnati to face a squad fueled with momentum off of a massive upset of Texas Tech by a convincing margin. The Utes proceeded to put the game to bed before halftime to the tune of 6 Touchdowns before halftime, and their recent performances give me enough belief in them to place them *just* ahead of the undefeated Hurricanes in #2, despite a worse SOR and SOS (though admittedly, I'm under the belief that the FPI/SOS mechanism ESPN uses undervalues the Big 12 compared to the other 3 conferences just a smidge, so take those numbers lightly). Regardless, even with Dampier's occasional hankering for a silly turnover, there is no reason to not believe that Utah has the strongest resume and performance to date, even with that close scare against Colorado last month.

AoA_nB1 2 Troubling 3rd Q for the Utes, but I’ll attribute that to looking ahead to BYU. The Utes might have a chance to be the #1 team in the nation with a win in the Holy War coinciding with a Miami loss/uninspiring win
