Minnesota over Penn State is significantly better than anything on Utah s resume yet they still trail them with a better record. I get that a lot will change if Minnesota beats Iowa and Wisconsin. But it s a case of brand and style points actually being more important than conference. Minnesota has zero brand nationally. Utah is beating mediocre teams more soundly than Oklahoma, but who would have thought out of the teams with really no elite wins, Utah and Oregon would be getting preference over Oklahoma and Penn State.
