Utah's Big 12 Title Hopes | Utah Utes Football News

Utah’s football team is back in the AP Top 25 for the sixth straight year, riding a wave of stability with key players like QB Devon Dampier and RB Wayshawn Parker staying put—though they’ve lost coaching talent to Michigan and leaned on transfers defensively. Despite those tweaks, they’re still primed to compete in the Big 12 after winning ten games last season. Their home opener against Idaho kicks off a surprisingly easy early schedule, with just one road game in the first five weeks. The top five features Ohio State, Oregon, Georgia, Notre Dame, and Texas—with Indiana at No. 6 and Texas Tech (No. 12) and BYU (No. 14) leading the Big 12 pack. The rivalry showdown with BYU on November 7 could be pivotal for the conference title race. Later, Utah hits a brutal stretch, facing ranked Houston (No. 23) just three weeks after another tough matchup—testing how far they’ve come.
