Utah Football Stays Put In The Latest AP Top 25 Poll

SALT LAKE CITY — Kyle Whittingham’s University of Utah football program remained locked in at No. 12 in the latest AP Top 25 Poll released Sunday afternoon.

The Utes improved to 3-0 and finished their non-conference slate unblemished. They’re coming off a 38-21 win over the Aggies and now turn their attention to conference play.

There wasn’t as much dramatic movement as in week two. Most teams that did move only moved one or two spots in the latest ranking.

However, the now No.1 Texas Longhorns moved into the top spot ahead of the No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs. The No. 8 Miami Hurricanes and No. 10 Penn State Nittany Lions swapped places, as did No. 13 Kansas State and No. 14 Oklahoma State.

The Rest of The Big 12 Rankings

Utah remains the top representative among Big 12 programs. They are atop a grouping of Big 12 programs, which includes No. 13 Kansas State and No. 14 Oklahoma State.

Following the loss to Kansas State, the Arizona Wildcats have dropped out of the Top 25. That leaves the No. 20 Iowa State Cyclones as the only other Big 12 representative in the latest edition.

The Wildcats (15), UCF (6), Arizona State (3), and BYU (2) each garnered votes this week as well.
