So let's start pulling similarities out to reduce it to a smaller comparison
Utah lost to #26 USC 30-23, BYU lost to #21 CCU 22-17. Pretty close, but slight edge to BYU.
Utah beat the #37 team Az St 21-3, BYU beat the #37 UCF 49-23. Probably about equivalent, maybe slight edge to BYU?
Utah beat the #41 team Cal 35-0, BYU beat #41 Boise 51-17. Probably about equivalent, slight edge to Utah?
Utah beat #57 Oregon St 52-7, BYU beat #59 SDSU 28-14. Edge to Utah
Utah beat #83 Arizona 35-7, BYU beat #84 Houston 43-26. Slight edge to Utah
Utah beat #124 Northern Illinois 35-17, BYU beat #117 Navy 55-3. Edge to BYU
Utah beat #192 Idaho St 31-0, BYU beat #162 North Alabama 66-14. These games are both meaningless so no edge to anybody.
So the resume from those 7 games is about equivalent.
Stripping those out leaves Utah with the following
#6 (loss)
#15 (loss)
#17 (win)
#46 (win)
#61 (win)
#63 (win)
#67 (win)
And BYU with
#92 (win)
#99 (win)
#112 (win)
#114 (win)
#116 (win)
It's pretty clear that BYU's schedule in 2020 was easier. That's not anything to be ashamed of, there were unprecedented circumstances, but we should at least be willing to admit that the schedule was very weak.
