The most/least (statistically) similar teams to Utah in on-field performance

[krindor]

Determined by finding the last decade win% for every P5 team (including the 4 new ones) against 3 different types of P5 opponents; those with 3 or fewer P5 wins, those with 4-6 P5 wins, and those with 7+ P5 wins.  And then taking sum of squares of differences to see which is most/least similar.

2. Northwestern
3. West Virginia
4. Texas
5. TCU
6. Washington
7. Washington St
8. Iowa
9. Baylor
10. Louisville
11. Arizona St
12. Penn St
13. Texas A&M
14. Nebraska
15. Cincinnati* (small sample size caveat)

Least similar

1. Kansas
2. Houston* (small sample size caveat)
3. Alabama
4. Clemson

8. Oklahoma
9. Rutgers
10. Vanderbilt
11. Purdue
