Utah defeated five top 20 teams this year, then SPANKED Alabama.


My vote goes to the Utes (nevermind that I did my undergrad there...lol).

 

this applies to oregon state's victory over usc. usc would beat them 9 out of 10 times. usc would beat penn st. 7 or 8 out of 10.

 

I nominate USC for president. They are that good.

 

pete carrol 2012!

 

seriously, i give utah props. i didn't give them a chance against bama.

 

They embarassed Alabama and showed they are true contenders. I didn't know Utah beat 5 top 20 teams, which teams?

 

Pretty sure it was 4

TCU
BYU
Oregon State
Alabama

even better if I missed one but pretty sure thats it (as if 4 wasn't enough).

EDIT: beating Michigan at their house for their season opener was big as well, although we all know they turned out to be a dud of a team it was still a good win for us... in fact, we'll take credit for ruining the rest of their season

 

Interesting line up. Do you think the UTES could beat a Florida, Oklahoma, or USC? I think there's a big difference between top 10 teams and 10-20.
