PROVO, Utah – Despite being one of only 11 undefeated teams, BYU football didn’t climb much in the AP Top 25 poll.

BYU moved up one spot to No. 13. They are one of three Big 12 teams in the AP Top 25 poll this week, led by Iowa State, checking in at No. 9 after the Cyclones defeated West Virginia on the road.

The 6-0 Cougars put together a dominant performance in a 41-19 victory over Arizona on Saturday at LaVell Edwards Stadium.

BYU forced four takeaways against Arizona as they cruised to another Big 12 Conference victory.

BYU’s next opponent is Oklahoma State, which plays on Friday night in Provo. Oklahoma State is currently 0-3 in Big 12 play.

After falling at Arizona State on Friday night, Utah has fallen out of the Top 25 this week. The Utes were at No. 16 in last week’s AP Top 25 poll. But the 27-19 setback to Cam Sakettebo and the Sun Devils has Utah out of the rankings.

The Utes still received some votes from pollsters. They would be ranked No. 35.

Utah is 4-2 overall and 1-2 in Big 12 play. They’ll look to end their current two-game losing streak this Saturday night against TCU in Salt Lake City.
