The 2022 Utah Utes football team represented the University of Utah as a member of the Pac-12 Conference during the 2022 NCAA Division I FBS football season. Led by 18th-year head coach Kyle Whittingham the Utes played their home games at RiceâÂÂEccles Stadium in Salt Lake City. The Utes finished the season 10âÂÂ4, 7âÂÂ2 in Pac-12 play to finish in a three-way tie for second place. Due to tiebreaking rules, Utah received the bid to the Pac 12 Championship Game. There, it defeated No. 4-ranked USC for the second time that season to win the conference championship. As a result, for the second consecutive year Utah received a bid to the Rose Bowl, where it lost to Penn State.
In the preseason polls released on July 28, Utah was picked to finish the season as the top team in the conference.
