it doesn’t apply to both our teams similarly, regardless of which way one is leaning on the question.
But to answer your question - yes, the PAC-12 is weak this year, no question. Did it make Utah look much better than they are? Eh, maybe a bit, but based on how Utah has been playing the last few weeks, I think a 15-25 ranking is probably reasonable. (And obviously from my point above, I think the same thing about BYU, but just a few spots higher in the rankings.)
