Could BYU and Utah's best compete with Alabama?

SALT LAKE CITY — The college football season is right around the corner, and luckily for fans in the state of Utah, BYU and the University of Utah will face off against one another. The week two match-up will again solve any debate over which team in the state reigns supreme for the 2016 season.

Ahead of the matchup, fans from each school will debate which roster is more talented. Traditionally, BYU features the more talented quarterback and wide receivers, while Utah features a more complete defense. This year doesn’t appear to be much different.

One thing isn’t up for debate, and that’s the fact that nation pundits aren’t buying the Utes' and Cougars' rosters as national competitors.
