Now that we’re 75 percent of the way through the college football season, we can say that Utah has officially made it through the most difficult part of the team’s schedule. The Utes have three games left, and every remaining opponent has a losing record right now. This week’s game against UCLA is followed by a road trip to Arizona and a home “rivalry” game against Colorado. Utah figures to be at least a two-touchdown favorite in each of those final three games.
Now that USC officially has two conference losses, Utah is firmly in control of the Pac-12 South division.
