Utah Utes

Utah was pretty much a consensus fifth place pick for the Pac-12 South. Nobody would have expected them to even be in Michigan at the beginning of the season, except for those who would’ve followed the Pac-12 closely. And even then very few were picking Utah to beat Michigan and Jim Harbaugh in week one, wouldn’t have picked them to beat Oregon.

Now is the team that will keep winning and keep going against all the critics. This is a complete team on offense and defense with Devontae Booker steam rolling on offense, and the pesky secondary causing problems and wreaking havoc.

They’re in the driver’s seat right now after going 6-0 and they hold a two game lead over for first place int he division. This is their division to lose now and they’ve done everything that they’ve needed to do to secure the spot and stay in contention for the Pac-12 South.

Overall Grade: A+

Next: Stanford
