Week 2 Rankings

The Utes dropped one spot to #18 in the AP Poll and moved up one spot to #16 in the USA Today Poll as a result of their underwhelming performance against San Jose State. Even though their win was more difficult then expected, it is surprising to see them drop in the AP Poll as a result of winning. It seems like Cincinnati garnered enough attention with their 70-3 win over FCS Southeast Missouri State to move past the Utes into the #17 Spot.

With their win over ACC opponent Virginia, TCU moved up one spot in both polls to #15. Heading into next week's showdown with Florida State, BYU will be ranked #7 in the AP and #9 in the USA Today.
