SALT LAKE CITY — Following the action in week five, the Big 12 Conference has seen a bit of a shakeup in the AP Top 25 Poll.

After their first Big 12 Conference road victory, the BYU Cougars have moved up to No. 17.

 

Meanwhile, the Utes suffered defeat on their home turf which sent them down eight spots to No. 18 in the latest edition.

The rest of the Big 12 rankings

Looking across the rest of the Big 12 Conference, Iowa State is now the top-ranked program at No. 16, followed closely by BYU at No. 17 and Utah at No. 18.  Kansas State got back in the win column and has moved up to No. 20. Those are the four programs represented in the Top 25.

Arizona (106) is the top program receiving votes, while Oklahoma State (8), and Colorado (1) are garnering consideration.
