According to a Fox News report, Utah football climbed to No. 2 in the AP Poll after beating the BYU Cougars in the Holy War.
Fox News also reported that ESPN analysts questioned whether Utah's national championship hopes are realistic despite the win over BYU. The headline attributes the phrase "They won't win" to ESPN's coverage of the team.
The Fox News summary does not name the analysts or describe their reasoning, and it does not say when the comments were made. The report also does not give the final score of the game or the date it was played.
Fox News described ESPN's view in two different tones. The headline says ESPN dismisses Utah as a contender, while the summary says the analysts question the team's hopes. The report does not reconcile the two descriptions.
The Fox News report is listed without a named author, and no other outlet's account of the ESPN comments was available for this story. The account of ESPN's position therefore rests on the Fox News headline and summary alone.
The report also does not explain how the AP Poll ranking is determined. Its only statement on the poll is that Utah reached No. 2 after the win over BYU, and no further detail on the ranking has been confirmed for this story.
