The Utah Utes are a college football team that currently competes in the Mountain West Conference (MWC) of the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) of NCAA Division I, representing the University of Utah. In 2011, the Utes will begin competing in the Pacific-10 Conference. The Utah college football program began in 1892 and has played home games at Rice � Eccles Stadium since 1927. They have won twenty-four conference championships in five different conferences during their history, and have a cumulative record of 605 � 420 � 31 (605 wins, 420 losses, and 31 ties).

The Utes have a record of 12 � 3 (.800) in bowl games, which is the highest winning percentage in the nation among teams that have had ten or more bowl appearances. They have won their last nine bowl games, which is the longest active winning streak.

Among Utah's bowls are two games from the Bowl Championship Series (BCS): the Fiesta Bowl and the Sugar Bowl. In the 2005 Fiesta Bowl, Utah defeated the Pittsburgh Panthers 35 � 7, and in the 2009 Sugar Bowl, they defeated the Alabama Crimson Tide 31 � 17. They were the first team from a conference without an automatic bid to play in a BCS bowl game-colloquially known as being a BCS Buster-and the first BCS Buster to play in a second BCS Bowl.

Oh well. Highlight video for the Utah Utes football team.
