Bill Connelly's Utah preview is up
He thinks they have a golden opportunity this year given weakness of their conference.
Of note, he gives them a 66% win probability at BYU, which is actually their third-lowest win probability, behind only USC and Washington (but basically tied with Arizona). Of all the years to break the streak, this could be the year it most screws up Utah's season.

Question marks arise in the secondary. Despite a decent pass rush, Utah was only 43rd in passing marginal efficiency, 36th on passing downs. They did an outstanding job of forcing third-and-longs, but they’d let you off the hook occasionally. And that was WITH starting safeties Corrion Ballard and Marquise Blair.
Corner Julian Blackmon has apparently moved to safety, and undersized nickel Javelin Guidry is a honey badger-style playmaker (3.5 TFLs, 10 passes defensed). And the secondary could get a nice boost if Nevada transfer Nephi Sewell (6 TFLs) is granted immediate eligibility. (No decision has yet been made, it appears.) Veteran corner Jaylon Johnson picked off four passes last year, and overall the experience is solid. But the secondary still bears most of the burden of proof on this defense.

The Pac looks to be down even more than it usually is. Even a typically boring mediocre but steady Utah team could win
