Half of those Utah ties are on one team — the Denver Broncos — and the University of Utah is still, far and away, the most-represented Beehive State school in the playoffs.
Next up: Conference Championship Sunday next weekend, with the two winners advancing to Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on Feb. 8.
