Utah, Dec. 5 at Rice-Eccles Stadium
2019 game: Utes, 52-7 in Corvallis

Maybe this was already posted but I saw it on 247 for his top 25.
 
Steele: “The Pac-12 South is wide open and Utah has QB Huntley, RB Moss, a veteran oline, a Top 25 defense and my No. 1 rated special teams. This team is capable of double-digit wins and will contend in the South.”
