Every. Game. Counts. That’s the case for Utah and everyone else in the Pac-12. The Utes have announced themselves as legit contenders for not just the Pac-12 South, but the Pac-12 Championship. After three straight great performances, the Utes have shot up our rankings, and are up to No. 3 right now. We all agree on Washington State being No. 1, which is our 4th team being No. 1 this season, with Washington, Oregon and Stanford. The bottom of the league has settled in pretty well, although UCLA has shown some signs of life, albeit against the other bottom dwellers.
