  Large majority have the Utes at 12. There were a few votes at 11, and one vote at 10 (thanks, Josh Furlong). Lowest ranking for Utah is 14, which there were four votes for. Those four voters’ affiliations are Wyoming, San Diego St, USC, and Penn St.
  
  Obviously these rankings don’t mean much, but it’s hard to think they don’t at least influence the CFP rankings in some way. It’s interesting to look at the actual ballots and see how random biases can impact the rankings.

  It seems like 1-5 are generally red/orange, 5-10 are generally dark colors, then things get all Skittles after that.

    Recent studies suggest Red jerseyed teams are more likely to win!! What uniform were the Utes wearing at USC? Q.E.D.!

      Well for what it’s worth, Utah will never wear our Red jersey in a conference road game.

  That’s one heck of an eye chart! Lauren Brownlow of WRAL in Raleigh-Durham also put the Utes in the Top Ten. There’s a pretty wide variation in Oregon’s ranking which is interesting.
