Utah's big win proves Pac-12 South is on the rise

Funny how things work out sometimes.

From the outset, the Pac-12 South looked as stacked as any conference division in the country. Winning it, then, would be as much about survival as triumph.

Four weeks into the season, there is evidence to back up that belief.

Thing is, part of that assumption was how strong the Arizona teams looked.

Turns out we might have been wrong about the Sun Devils and Wildcats, both losing decisively Saturday.

Looks like we slept on Utah, though. The Utes are 4-0 after doing what seemed unimaginable by dominating Oregon in Eugene on Saturday in a startling 62-20 beatdown that pushed the Ducks out of the Top 25 for the first time since 2009.
