I don't think Utah will be much of a threat at first in the pac-12. Since 2000, there something like 1-7 against pac-10 teams on the road. That record looks even worse considering they had to play maybe two tough teams per year then beat up on Air Force, Colorado St, New Mexico, San Diego St, UNLV, Wyoming, Iowa St, San Jose St who aren't all that great. The only real gimme in the pac is Wazzou, so it'll be interesting to see how they fair when they have to play in tough games every week. Eventually they could get good.
Yeah Washington is rebuilding it's program, but their recruiting class last year was nothing special, and what happens when Jake Locker leaves next year. That's gonna be a huge blow to them.
Oregon State is a good program. Mike Riley seems to work wonders every year with below average recruits.
