If you had told me that the Pac-12 South would have as much coaching upheaval as it has had, that USC would be on probation for a few years and end up with an underwhelming coach, that UCLA would be awful for several years, and the KWhitt had won enough to keep his job, I would have assumed that Utah would have a south championship. They definitely missed a huge opportunity in year 1 when I think 4 of the 6 teams fired their coaches.
I think Utah's best opportunities to win the south are behind it. The next 7 years are likely to be more difficult than the last 7.
