Is Utah A Legitimate Pac-12 Contender?
The Utes dominated Oregon in Eugene two weeks ago. Was it a fluke?
Ever since Utah joined the Pac-12 in 2011, many have wondered if they really belong. Sure, they had previous success in weaker conferences, but could they really compete in a Power 5 conference?
If doubters needed an answer to that question, Utah’s 62-20 road win against Oregon was certainly a strong case.
Welcome to the Pac-12, Utah.
After starting their season unranked, Utah is now 5th in the AP poll, and first in ESPN’s power rankings.
