Morning links: National writer praises Utes, disses BYU fan; Can Jazz's defense be elite?

A utah fan shows his "U" as the team runs onto the field as Utah and Arizona State prepare to play Saturday, Oct. 17, 2015, at Rice Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City.

Perhaps no team near the top of the heap in college football is as divisive as Utah.

At this point most, if not all national pundits, are recognizing the Utes as a Top 10 squad, but opinions vary widely about exactly where in that mix they sit.

Fox Sports national writer Stewart Mandel has been bullish on Utah for a number of weeks now, and he was at it again after the Utes beat Arizona State on Saturday, putting Kyle Whittingham's club atop his rankings.
