Fall seeding is usually best. In Utah, it can be difficult to pick a time when it has cooled enough and there is still time for the seed to germinate before the first snow.
Some people dormant seed. To do that, you seed after it is too cool for the seed to germinate but before the lawn is covered with snow. The winter snow and the freeze/thaw cycles will carry the seed into the ground. The seed will then germinate in the spring as soon as it warms enough (probably earlier than if you seeded in the spring). It may be able to take enough advantage of spring snowmelt and rain that you won't need to irrigate.
If you dormant seed, you won't be able to use a pre emergent.
