Utah football comes in at No. 17 in early S&P+ rankings

It wasn't long ago that advanced stats wasn’t a big fan of the Utah football program, usually ranking it well below it’s peers. That never stopped Coach Whitt and crew from bucking those stats often times and over performing. This past season was really the first time that Utah was looked at favorably in S&P+ as well as ESPN’s FPI. Utah was rated ahead of a vast majority of their opponents, other than most of the ones they lost too. Going into 2019, the Utes are returning a ton of skill, brining in a nice recruiting class, and have a favorable schedule.
