No. 18 Utah: Key experience
On the day of the College Football Playoff National Championship, Utah quietly announced that DE Bradlee Anae, DT Leki Fotu, RB Zack Moss and CB Julian Blackmon would all return for their senior seasons after weighing early departure for the NFL draft. All four received All-Pac-12 honors last season, and their return makes the Utes the clear favorite in the Pac-12 South, if not the entire conference. -- Bonagura

18. Utah: Offensive changes
Another year, another new offensive coordinator at Utah, but in this case new is also old. After spending the past three seasons as the OC at Vanderbilt, Andy Ludwig returns to the school where he coordinated the offense from 2005 to 2008. Those were good times at Utah, but it's fair to question how the transition to yet another offense will go for the Utes following Troy Taylor's departure to become the head coach at Sacramento State. -- Bonagura
