We have to wait until next Monday (August 19th) for the full preseason AP Poll to be released, but we know where at least one AP Poll voter has the Utah Utes: Jon Wilner of the San Jose Mercury News has the Utes at No. 6 in his preseason ballot.
Wilner is probably the most well known and respected Pac-12 writer in the country. Wilner has the Utes as his preseason favorite to win the Pac-12. He also ranked Oregon No. 9, Stanford No. 17, Washington No. 19, and Washington State No. 24. Wilner’s preseason ballots are always interesting.
