Sure. I'll bite.
Let's start with Utah. Utah beats a very good Michigan team in week one. Because Utah beat them, you go to Michigan sucks. Utah loses their QB for a game or two and look very average offensively because they can't really throw the ball. Then Wilson comes back and they drop 62 on Oregon by playing possibly the most complete football game I've ever seen Utah play. Had it rolling in all phases. You focus on "Oregon is overrated" which is fine except for nobody is rating them. The whole nation knows Oregon isn't as good as they have been in the past. Going into the Utah game, everyone knew they had problems on defense. But Utah KILLED them as if they were Savannah State. I mean come on. Utah looked very good against a "good" team and played Oregon better than any other team this year has.

UCLA... So Oregon is terrible because they got blown out by Utah and "only" beat Colorado by 17 (covering the spread by 10pts by the way) yet UCLA remains awesome despite losing to a pretty poor Arizona State team. And you stand by UCLA because they beat Arizona? Or because they beat UNLV? Or Virginia? All bad teams. But they beat us so they must be great!

Michigan... They were a bad football team in week one then became a great football team in week two? First of all, every team should get better week to week. This includes Utah who you are pretending was good week one and still just good week 5 but Michigan had no idea what they were doing week one then became national champion caliber almost overnight. It's pretty obvious Utah gave Michigan trouble that Michigan hasn't gotten from the rest of the teams on the schedule. UNLV, Oregon State, byu, and Maryland do not present the same challenges as Utah. Acting like Michigan was bad then got good is an embarrassing fan mentality. It smacks of insecurity. Just stop.

Bottom line, you are clearly saying the teams we have played are good and the teams Utah played are not therefore Utah is overrated. You are off the mark in most of your arguments but where you completely lose your mind is when you say we don't really have a common opponent because Michigan was bad and in the road. Just accept we may not be as good as you hoped and Utah may be better than you hoped.
