Who would have believed that come the middle of October, we'd be focused on Salt Lake City and this matchup between Cal and Utah for supremacy in the Pac-12? Both the Golden Bears and Utes have put together an impressive first five weeks of the college football season, and Saturday night's game will result in the first loss of the season for one of these two teams.
Utah can even the all-time series between the two teams tonight (Cal leads, 5-4), but the Utes are just seven-point favorites coming into this game.
Utah is No. 5 in the nation for just the third time in program history, while Cal is 5-0 for the first time since Harry Truman was president of the United States (1950).
