The Orlando Sentinel is unveiling its college football rankings one by one. The Utes are featured today at No. 27. That is a higher ranking than I expected for a paper that is surrounded by SEC/ACC country. Maybe the Utes' reputation is improving in the deep south after the Sugar Bowl win over Alabama and Urban Meyer's success at the school.Either way, it's nice to see the Utes gaining a good reputation they have to defend, rather than always being an overlooked or underestimated team.
