Klatt ranks Utah 9th

Death, taxes and Utah football,” Klatt wrote. “This is my pick to win the Big 12. Utah is really good, really tough, and I know the Big 12 teams are not going to want to hear this, but Salt Lake City is now the toughest place to play in the Big 12. Period. That home-field advantage is real; the Utes are incredible at home. And when healthy, this is one of the best teams in the country. They won the Pac-12 the last two times they were healthy. It shouldn’t be different in the Big 12. The Utes are aggressive, they’ve got a great home field, they’ve got a veteran quarterback. Watch out for Utah. They are my pick in the Big 12.
