BYU moved up one spot to number 13 in the latest College Football Playoff Rankings released Tuesday. BYU jumped ahead of Wake Forest after their loss to Clemson. Utah moved up 4 spots to 19, strengthening BYU’s resume a bit. BYU is right behind #12 Michigan State and #11 Oregon after their losses over the weekend.
A New Year’s Six Bowl is still a possibility for BYU, although they will definitely need some help. Beating USC this weekend is an obvious prerequisite, and that win over a flailing 4-6 team won’t move the needle.
