SALT LAKE CITY — Utah lost several players to the NFL last season, but the loss in talent hasn’t done much damage in the eyes of voters in the USA Today Coaches Poll.
Utah is ranked No. 25 in the preseason coaches poll that came out Thursday, dropping four spots from last season’s final poll. Utah is one of four teams from the Pac-12 ranked in the preseason poll, including No. 4 USC, No. 7 Washington and No. 14 Stanford, and will play each of them this season.
The only other teams from the Pac-12 receiving votes were Washington State with 99, Colorado with 72, Oregon with 37, and Arizona and UCLA with 1 each.
