Utah’s schedule is remarkably light. BYU, Houston, and…. who? Coaching transition is never easy, even with a coach-in-waiting, but this is about as friendly a schedule as they could hope for in their first Whitt-less season.

Florida State could definitely be 2-5 when their second bye week comes 😁

With Florida State, does it make a difference at this point? It feels like it's just a matter of if Norvell gets fired in-season or after the conclusion of the season.

Simar to the Michigan-take but in reverse for Utah. I think their team will be slightly worse then last year's, but their schedule is significantly easier. Despite them being worse I could still see them pulling off 10-2.

Man, for Michigan its all about Bryce's development. If he can just improve his decision making and not turnover the ball we can definitely be a 10 win team. How some of our star players bounce back from injury will also determine our season.

Utah will be their usual solid self, 8 or 9 wins.

He acts like Tennessee didn’t lean on the run game with Nico.

I sure wish Tennessee had Utah’s schedule. We would probably hit the playoffs at 11-1 (10-2 if we had a wide receiver playing QB). That is college football in a nutshell. Teams like Michigan and Tennessee play 4 or 5 top teams and a few others (like Iowa and Vandy) that can ruin things for you if you aren’t dialed in. Then you got Utah, Miami and Notre Dame etc that play one really good team. All year.

Lifelong Utah fan (UM coincidentally being my 2nd team) and Utah is gonna be far worse and Michigan is gonna be far better.
