I agree
Utah is doing very well this year. Their defense isn't as good as last year, but it looks like despite losing many stars they've still put out a good product. Of course, Booker is great. But Wilson is still Wilson. He's not that good of a QB. He'd be serviceable if he were a backup coming off the bench, but definitely not senior and multi-year starter QB quality. The receiving corp seems forgettable.

Utah's offense hasn't been tested (Oregon is known for having an anemic defense, and they typically rely on their offense to put up 45 points to win the game). I'm not sure their defense has been really tested either (Oregon's offense is not performing this year).

Of course, a win at Oregon (and by that margin) is impressive, on par with BYU's win at Texas.

Michigan is a question mark. I'm not sure if the week one Michigan is the same as the Michigan we're seeing now. If Utah had another strong performance or two against known commodities, I think we could draw better conclusions about Michigan (not a slam against Utah, just an unknown quantity).

BYU fans, being BYU fans, see Utah have some success and automatically assume the worst of the worst. Utah fans, being Utah fans, see Utah have some success and automatically assume the best of the best. It's weird how the two fan bases are polar opposites that way.
