How would BYU fare if they were in that same division? Cougs are 6-2 against the USC/AZ/ASU/Colorado/UCLA crew since Utah joined the p12. The two losses came by 1 point (24 to 23 v UCLA in '15) and 3 points (17-14 UCLA in '16). Give us a few freebies against Colorado and our record could climb to 10-2. And that's with Indy recruits and resources.
Considering the state of the p12 and considering Utah hasn't won an out of conference game in like 5 years, I'm gonna say they're not likely to climb to the top of the b12 LOL.
