The final AP Top-25 rankings were released Tuesday, with the Utes checking in at No. 16. After enjoying a high-flying season, which included winning eight straight conference games and earning a second trip to the Pac-12 title game, the season ended with a thud. But how good will the 2020 edition of this team be? Is this now a program that should routinely contend in the Pac-12 South? Utah Insiders Dirk Facer and Mike Sorensen examine the Utes’ prospects. They also revisit the Utah basketball team’s shellacking at Colorado, eerily reminiscent of the first meeting between the two teams as league foes. That and more on this week’s episode.
