According to predictions, I don't see Utah as a doormat:
2022 PRESEASON SI PAC-12 FOOTBALL POWER RANKINGS
1. Utah, 84 points (7 first-place votes)
2. Oregon, 75 points
3. USC, 70 points
4. UCLA, 63 points
5. Oregon State, 54 points
6. Washington, 49 points
7. Washington State, 37 points
8. Stanford, 34 points
9. Cal, 30 points
10. Arizona State, 24 points
11. Arizona, 18 points
(this is all subject to sudden changes -- I just heard that both Utah and the Ducks are no longer ranked in the top 25 college teams after their losses this weekend)
