Utah is the two-time defending Pac-12 champions in football, and they were impressive in week 1 against the Florida Gators.

They are once again flying under the radar, but they should be considered the Pac-12 favorites if they go down to Waco, Texas, and comfortably beat Baylor without QB Cam Rising.

On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, I’m joined by ‘Locked On Utes’ host JT Wistrcill.

Wistrcill sheds insight on the Utes’ looming matchup with Baylor on Saturday and whether or not it will be as easy of a win as some people think.

Scheduling in college football is the biggest issue in the sport outside of conference realignment.

We also share our thoughts on why the current scheduling system benefits nobody, let alone the sport itself.
