South. People I trust believe this may be the best Utah team ever, and I don’t have a reason to doubt it so far, even with the one loss.
Utah gets more love around CB than ever. My original post was sparked by the nauseating Ute envy. Utah is clearly a top 25 team again, and probably a top 15 team. But higher than that is tough to say. The SEC and B10 are loaded, the B12 is deep, and the PAC12 hasn’t proven anything OOC.
Obviously it’s a special season for Utah, one BYU fans can only dream about. But at the end of the day, the playoff only has 4 spots, and the committee has shown a heavy bias for the blue blood programs, which Utah is not, and Utah won’t go undefeated in the indisputably weakest of the P5 conferences. That is an extremely steep hill for Utah to climb.
