consider Michigan beating Utah to be a big win. It might not be right, but the historical powers beating the little guys never makes much news.
I don't disagree with you that Utah should be the better team this year and I hope Michigan wins for our sake. I'm just saying that no one will bat an eye except to say that Jim H. is bringing Michigan out of the dumps. I doubt the headlines will be "Michigan is back with a win over a power PAC-12 team!"
