    Utah Jazz (5-1)
    Four straight games this week on the road (Charlotte, Orlando, Miami, Atlanta) will be a nice little test for them. Last year they went 28-13 at home -- but just 14-27 away from the Delta Center.</div>

    I actually thought we would fall a bit on the ESPN Rankings after the Toronto loss at home, but I guess we didn't. And I think we are a bit low on the CNNSI Rankings, but then again this doesn't count for anything.

    I think Utah are a bit to high on the ESPN ratings. They lost to Toronto at home, and beat a Pistons team without Ben Wallace, Chauncey Billups and Larry Brown. They should've fallen to 3-5, not stayed at 2.
