SALT LAKE CITY — Following big wins in week four, both Utah Football and BYU Football were included in the latest AP Top 25 Poll released Sunday afternoon.
The Utes moved up two spots to No. 10 after an impressive team win over No. 14 Oklahoma State in Boone Pickens Stadium.

Outside of Missouri dropping four spots, there wasn’t much movement within the top ten. The same can’t be said for the rest of the Top 25.
Along with the Wildcats and Cowboys, the USC Trojans, Oklahoma Sooners, Nebraska Cornhuskers, and Northern Illinois Huskies all suffered losses this weekend.
The rest of the Big 12 rankings
Utah remains the top representative for the Big 12 Conference. The Iowa State Hawkeyes moved up two spots to No. 18, Oklahoma State fell to No. 20, BYU at No. 22, and Kansas State rounds out the Big 12 representation at No. 23. UCF (3) and Arizona (2) are the only other two Big 12 programs receiving votes.
