Im not surprised
I think a combination of the short term history of the teams and the soft early ute schedule is probably the reasoning.
My two cents: the teams are about the same good, but utes beat cougs head to head so i would give them the slight edge.
Before the season started i thought byu would be WAY better but byu has underperformed a little and the utes have overperformed alot.
Utes impressed me again last night hangin tough on the road with a chance to win.
Still think haws is the best player in the state though. (48 points last night!)
