against MWC-era TCU. Add in an 0-4 against Houston, and the record is not great. This seems like a difficult conclusion to support.

Remember in 2019 they were 10-2 & #6 in CFP then get routed Big 12 3rd 7-5 Texas

Their OOC win/loss record does not give hope for Utes winning road trips

Utah's Rose Bowl attending team (a.k.a. greatest team ever) couldnt beat BYU.

Given how well they compete OOC lately…

They would easily be top 14

Top half, maybe top 3 or so. But immediately #1 is stupid to say

I think Utah would be in for a rude awakening. The Big12 is not the PAC12 South.

Hey, just because they haven't beaten a non-PAC P5 since 2017 doesn't mean

They’ve lost 8 games in two years. And they play in the weakest P5 conference

Is that the guy that said Utah would win the Rose Bowl because KWhitt cared now?

The Big 12 doesn’t have 7 easy outs in its lineup like the Pac,

Mitchell has selective memory loss and doesn't acknowledge this fact.

Well, if that's true then BYU should be up there. 6-1 against the PAC last 2 yr

The team that hasn't won a P5 game outside of the PAC would suddenly be the best...

They would have to change their style of play a bit on offense

utah has been successful in the pac12 because they play more physical than other pac12 teams. They wouldn't have

I hope that gets back to all the Big12 expansion voters and reporters.

Bad poll. Need a middle ground.

Nice. Exactly the arrogance that is getting them national (negative) attention.

TCU has never lost the Rose Bowl, so he's probably right.

The whole PAC is full of posers. They know it and avoid OOC games

Not delusional because most of the early rankings have Utah-Texas-TCU and KSU all around the same

That takes into account the soft pac12 schedule utah has. 😛

Being the tallest Lilliputian isn't "tall." The PAC sucks & plays off illusion

Brandoblueblood

Nah...Pac just had 6 teams in the top 20. 1/2 the conference will be ranked to start the season. TCU just lost 65-7

TFL

"Nah." Utah and the PAC are like a bad toupee...

It's a funny analogy. But I don't buy it. The reality is Utah finished 10th and 5 other P12 were ranked...because

Of course, Big 12 guys don't pay that much attention to utah and for good reason.

Wait til they see how OBSESSED BYU fans are about everything Utah.

Yeah, BYU fans won't even mention the utes once you're relegated to a G5 conference.

A few things to consider… as a program Utah is at its highest point ever. And PAC is simultaneously at its lowest point
