    The South is going to be terrible this year (moreso than normal) and they get usc in SLC.

    There is no more north or south anymore
    Only for CCG purposes (at least this year). Utah still plays all 5 South opponents and only 4/6 from north, so yes they have an easier schedule than north teams

    I don't quite understand the steam for Utah this year.

    The South should be better just because SC upgraded and if Chip is going to win more than 8 games it has to be this year. Arizona will be better. ASU might suck but not as bad as SC and Colorado did last year.

    Then they have to go to Oregon (who will be jacked out of their minds to not lose to them for a 3rd time), they get OSU again who has already beat them. I dunno, I don't see it this year.

    They got hot at the end of last year and they give off a vibe of a little mountain west team that can't handle the pressure of being a defending champion.

    They butt fucked O twice in 2 weeks. I wouldn't bet against Whittingham. Guy is a winner and always exceeds expectations.

    He got punked by Washington and Oregon over and over before last year. Couldn't really beat SC either.

    CU may go Owen and ASU is going to be terrible. Agree Arizona will be better. Usc too but still poor on the lines and that’s where Utah eats.

    True however the resources he has to work with is well below UW/OU levels consistently. Whittingham is a winner.

    You make some good points. He's just been clowned by the doogs so many times. 2017. 2020 to Lake. Lulz

    Utah was always kind of weak at QB and now seem to have a good one. I can’t believe Huntley is a NFL QB.

    I think they are rightfully the favorites.

    ASU’s demise is greatly exaggerated. They got a decent QB transfer and while their recruiting is now shit, that won’t be felt for a few years. They are still a 7 or 8 win team.

    USC will be better.

    UCLA will be the same.
