Looks to me like Utah has a pretty nice non-conference schedule

Notre Dame, Pitt, Iowa State, looks like they could possibly bust the BCS and go to the NCG if they can go undefeated. They have the schedule they would need to impress BCS voters, and if the SEC Champion doesn’t go undefeated this time.

it is good

Pitt is the only marquee team rankings wise, and ISU did go to a bowl game, and if Notre Dame can be decent that will give Utes a boost in voters eyes.
