They're not out of the running for CFP berth, but having already lost a game
this early in conference play, and at home, means their margin of error has now been reduced already which adds more stress to achieving the lofty goals they have this season. They may well have had high expectations internally, alongside many of their fans, of going undefeated. Now with that loss already, if they lose another game or two. They may well be out of the CFP picture. Likely won't get in as an at-large from the way things are looking right now, so now the pressure will be on them to win out from here to ensure they can earn a spot in the conference championship.

I think ASU could be a test for them. CU has a pretty dynamic duo with Sanders and Hunter, not unlike AZ has with Fifita and McMillan, only more talented/athletic, so I could see them giving Utah defense even more fits. Then there's UCF, which who knows how good they'll actually be after yesterday.

BYU could actually be a big challenge for them too, but I think that game will really just come down to which team is the healthiest at all the major positions.
