Do closed accounts with a balance count towards utilization?

I have two CO's left on my CBR that have balances.  I am wanting to know if the FICO score counts closed accounts balances into the mix of open accounts for the utilization ratio.  I hope my question makes sense.

If both the balance and credit limit on a closed credit card are reporting then that card is part of utilization. But both factors have to be in play.  You can read more about that in Closing Credit Cards.
