Is Utah the Rodney Dangerfield of College Football?

"I don't get no respect," was a famous line from comedian Rodney Dangerfield. Is this true for the No. 3 Utah Utes (6-0, 3-0 Pac-12)? Utah is the lone unbeaten team in the Pac-12, yet they seem to be a trendy upset pick almost every week. Many people thought Arizona State would upset Utah last weekend in Salt Lake City; instead, Utah won 34-18. This week, Utah is a underdog at unranked USC (3-3, 1-2 Pac-12). Metrics like ESPN's Football Power Index (FPI) give Utah only a 27.9% chance to beat USC. Today on ESPN, both David Pollack and Desmond Howard said they thought Utah was the undefeated team most likely to lose this weekend.
