Utes Start Strong in Rating Systems
Only time will tell how valuable the last three victories will turn out to be for the Utes. But so far, they seem to be worth quite a bit.

Though it's obviously still early, the Utes are ranked third in the Rating Percentage Index, according to RealRPI.com, as well as 39th in the Sagarin Ratings that appear in the USA Today newspaper.

It certainly helps that games against Division II teams -- such as the one that defeated the Utes in the opener -- are not counted in the calculations, but still, it's an awfully encouraging start.
