USC is talented (as always), but poorly coached. UW lost a lot from last year's team. Tennessee wasn't very good last year, but they have a lot of experience back. Utah returns a ton on both sides of the ball and gets a SR QB and RB plus one of the top 5 DL in college football. You're a cougar fan, so you're underestimating Utah, but this is a VERY good Utah team (and finally the schedule breaks a little bit in our favor).
