I heard a guy from SI on the radio today talking about the PAC12. He ranks each team based on some kind of statistical algorithm.
He said Utah ranks 10th on offense and 31st on defense nationally. He said the defense ranking for Utah is lower than usual and could change as the new guys start getting experience.
He said USC ranks 20th on offense and 80th on defense. He did say that USC has 19 incoming transfers and that makes it difficult for his algorithm.
He believes Utah is a solid top-ten offense. It’s kind of fun to see Utah with a highly ranked offense. He is high on Rising.
This could be a very fun season.
