UTAH UTES shock the college football world with a 13th ranking in the initial College Football Playoff rankings. Can a two-loss team actually make the playoffs? J.T. Wistrcill and Bryan Brown break down the UTES' stunning placement, analyzing their dominant 140-31 home scoring margin against Big 12 opponents and what it means for the conference's playoff hopes. The discussion covers MORGAN SCALLY's defensive genius that held BRENDAN SORSBY to just 33% completion, BLAKE COTTON's elite cornerback play, and the secondary's transformation into a shutdown unit. Key topics include the realistic three-team Big 12 playoff scenario, why analytics favor UTAH over teams like MIAMI and LOUISVILLE, and how victories by BYU and TEXAS TECH could strengthen the UTES' at-large resume. Brown offers insider perspectives on underrated Utah high school prospects, including DANTE DYSON, JACKSON HUNT, and CREW JONES, who could become future college stars.Don't miss this analysis of UTAH's unexpected path to the College Football Playoff and the rising talent pipeline in the state.
