It’s clear that the mighty Utes on the gridiron are the signature team here at the U. Not only are students and alumni of the U fans of the team, but the whole city of Salt Lake City embraces it and takes part in tailgates on Saturdays. The city is decorated with the Utes’ logo and banners supporting the players and coaches that represent Utah in the Pac-12. The conference consists of Arizona, Arizona State, Cal, UCLA, Colorado, Oregon, Oregon State, USC, Stanford, Washington and Washington State.
The Utes’ biggest rival within the Pac-12 is Colorado, and, of course, you can’t forget about the team down south in the Cougars, though BYU is not part of the Pac-12.
