Its crazy that oregon was ranked #3 recently. Obviously they had a great win on the road against ohio state. That was a 1 score game that they won. Great win
They beat fresno state by 1 score at home. Not a nice win
They beat stony brook (whoever that is) Whatever
They beat 1-11 arizona at home
They lost to 3-9 stanford in overtime. Horrible loss (utah beat stanford by like 100)
They beat 4-7 cal at home by one score. Not a nice win
They beat 8-4 UCLA on the road by 3. nice win
They beat 4-8 colorado at home
They beat 4-8 washington on the road by 10. A team that lost to montana sky or something like that at home (division 2 school)
They beat 7-5 washington state at home
They lost to utah 38-7
They lost to utah 38-10
They beat 7-5 oregon state at home.
Man that ohio state win got them so so far.
And this pac12 might be the worst pac12 in a long long time. The pac12 was 16-20 against non pac12 teams (that includes teams from the big sky and division 2) The pac12 was 3-13 against other p5 schools. The wins were against vanderbilt, LSU, and Ohio State.
Having said all that I still think the utes are a very very good team and deserving of whatever ranking they get after tonights game and deserving of the rose bowl. Looks like they get either #13 Iowa or ohio state. Should be a much better game than oregon gave them. Utes strength is stopping the run and the oregon QB cant complete a pass more than 5 yards down the field. Oregon had no chance.
