After another disappointing loss to the UCLA Bruins, the Utes have fallen out of the two least important polls out there, the AP and Coaches Poll. It's a bit of a shock they fell completely out of the AP Poll, but of course, the important poll is the College Football Playoff poll, which will be out Tuesday. But since the Utes are out of the running for the Pac-12 South, the Utes just need to finish the season strong and go into the bowl game as healthy as possible.
