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.

In the last 10 games, Utah is 7-3 against Pac-10 teams.

They also beat Cal in the Poinsettia Bowl in 2009 and Alabama in the 2009 Sugar Bowl (granted they lost to Oregon early last year).
Utah is a legit program despite recruiting in competition with BYU in Utah and not being able to advertise membership in a big conference. That changes now. I expect really significant growth from them. Also, this year they play Pitt at home, Notre Dame in South Bend and BYU at home. Should be a good measuring stick to see where theyre at.
