Utah didn’t play this weekend, but did the rest of the Big 12 give Utes fans more reasons to believe?

Steve Bartle and Josh Bennett recap Week 5, update the Utah Blockcast Big 12 power rankings and discuss why their confidence in Utah continues to grow. BYU survives at TCU, Baylor makes a statement, Arizona shuts down Cincinnati, and Texas Tech wins without settling every question.

Then, the conversation turns to Utah: Did the road get easier, or do we simply trust the Utes more? From Devon Dampier’s leadership to an offense and defense equipped to win different kinds of games, we explain what separates Utah—and why continuing to raise the standard matters.

Plus, a quick look ahead to Kansas and the return to Rice-Eccles Stadium.
