The Joe Rankings: Week 9

Another good road win for the Utes, and they are beginning to inch up The Rankings. They are looking tougher each week, and it will be interesting to see if the bye week helps them or hurts them. They have great momentum right now, and they don't seem too dinged up with injuries. But the bye week will give them two weeks to prepare for a mediocre Wyoming team, and they should continue their winning streak in two weeks. I would say at this point, the New Mexico and BYU games are toss-ups.

On to the Rankings. Remember, the numbers simply don't lie very much.
