This summer has featured more hype about the Utah football than any other summer in recent memory. At Pac-12 Media Day, the amount of hype surrounding Utah only intensified. This was a result of the Pac-12 releasing this year’s preseason media poll. The poll is composed of 35 Pac-12 media members who vote on how each team will finish within their respective division. Each media member also offers a prediction of which team will win the conference title.
The Pac-12 preseason poll has been a part of conference tradition since 1961 when UCLA was picked to win the conference and play in the Rose Bowl.
