so those examples don't resonate. The Big 12 is made up of top 60 type schools with the better ones in the top 20-30.
Utah historically has been dominant against that group. Just looking at BYU, ASU, AZ, CU already on the schedule, Utah has been winning 80%+.
I think a 9-3 or 10-2 season is doable if Utah stays healthy. With the parity, I think that gets Utah in the CCG...where anything can happen.
But you do have Rising 2-0 in those games with convincing Ws vs. top 10 teams.
