Utah is playing the best football in the history of their program. Winning the Pac 12 in consecutive years and being highly ranked (and therefore getting better time slots and channels).
And in this stretch they are ‘loosely on par’ with Stanford, who is going through one of the toughest stretches they’ve had in recent memory. They are being relegated to the FS1’s and ESPN2’s of TV.
I know you have the data but have you tried running any multivariate regression on it to see how Utah fares vs other teams in the same slots and channels?
