After a gutting loss to Coastal Carolina, BYU dropped to 14 in the AP Poll and 16 in the latest Coaches Poll released Sunday. BYU was number 8 in both polls last week. Coastal Carolina moved up to 11 in the AP Poll and 13 in the Coaches Poll.
BYU is 9-1 on the season and finishes its season Saturday night versus San Diego State, barring an additional game on December 19. BYU’s New Year’s 6 bowl hopes are all but dashed, but the Cougars can finish ranked in the AP top 25 poll for the first time since 2009 when they finished 12.
