Not making much of a dent
That victory over No. 13 Air Force was great and everything, but the Utes did not get a lot of benefit from it in the national rankings - what with their dozen losses and all.
Even after stunning the Falcons 85-79 a few days ago, the 6-12 Utes remain mired far down the list in both the Sagarin Ratings and the Ratings Percentage Index.
In the RPI, the Utes rank 163rd, though the rankings reveal part of the reason for that. The team's strength of schedule is rated the 20th most difficult in the nation - tougher than nine teams in the top 20, including Wisconsin, Oregon, Ohio State and Kansas.
In the Sagarin Ratings, the Utes rank 149th, one spot below Southern Utah, which beat them 76-73 in the season-opener at the Huntsman Center.
