BYU’s third consecutive dominating win resulted in BYU moving up 7 spots in the AP Poll to number 15. BYU also moved up to number 15 in the USA Today Coaches Poll—this all being a week after voters were told they would be able to include Big Ten and Pac-12 teams in their ballots.
People have been debating whether or not BYU is legit dating back to the win over Navy last month. Upcoming games against Houston, Boise State, and San Diego State should provide a better idea of just how good this team is, but that hasn’t stopped national writers from praising BYU’s successes and encouraging the casual fan to buy into Kalani’s program.
