UTAH could run the table (cuz they don't play us or Oregon -- LARGE), but for a visit to Seattle on Nov. 2.
Everything else sets up well for them in league... .except strength of schedule, which will not lift them into the Top 4.
So if UTAH finishes 12-1... I still think they get shut out because ESPN has already settled on:
#1 CLEM vs #4 BAMA plus #2 MICH (or OHST) vs #3 GEOR (maybe LSU).
-- NastyDame was a BIG bust last year, getting slammed by CLEM 30-3.
-- OHST 2015 showed what a B1G team can do in the CFP. [Albeit against... a Pac12 team]
That is the RATINGS BONANZA MEGA-BONUS BONANZA for the Studio Execs.
UTAH? Meh. So, Utes after defeating WASH would get the MICH / OHST loser in the Rose Bowl.
Lotta Utes renting hotels and buying meals in Pasadena. They have NEVER been.
