          We are losing a massive amount of talent and experience, including all but two defensive starters. The one place we might see improvement is offensive line. Most room for improvement there since they were not good.

            If your real worry is defense then we should be fine.

            Ute fans are so scared to be good. Although Kyle has given us reason in the past.
            We’ll still be very good in the trenches on defense. And should be much improved on offense in the trenches

        What don’t you buy? Utah’s record over the last 6 years is 55-25.  A sustained period of top 25 performance results in the belief this is a top 25 program. I’ll buy it and I’ll pay double.

          That 55-25 record includes a 7-6 season in a year when we replaced our starting QB (albeit by choice) from the previous season, just like we will be doing this year (not by choice).

      We won’t even finish this season that high. How in the world do we start that high next year with everything we are losing from this year’s team?

        Wasn’t Washington (who lost a ton of players) highly regarded before 2019 started?  (co-favorites to win the North)

        We’re where they were last year.   Lots of players to replace.

        Lol.. so true.

        Utah’s best CB is still in high school. No, this is sloppy writting with little research put into the list

          Minor note: if you’re talking ab out Phillips, I’m pretty sure he graduated early and is already on campus.

      The top 25 rankings are Bill Bender’s, of the Sporting News. The article is by Steve Deace, which is his commentary on the rankings. The following quote is from the linked article:

       

      According to my numbers, Utah would be the most overrated team listed.

        Wait, you mean you actually read the article instead of coming up with a hot-take?

        Kind of ironic, being that Utah is perennially the most underrated team every year.

        I agree with Thunder… we’re simply losing too much.  That’s OK, most teams have a rebuilding year.  Washington took their turn this year.  Look out for the Utes in ’21 though…

        2 TOTALLY different teams, Eagle.  I get what you’re saying though.

            here’s what i “get”.

            Within 4 months you and your echo chamber buddies will talk yourselves into believing Utah should be in the top 18.

                How was this downvoted even once. How many Pace’s / Annarbor’s are there? Tiresome
