Top 15!
After feeling snubbed by getting a 14 ranking in the first College Football Rankings last season, but checked in at #15 in the inaugural rankings released Tuesday evening.
BYU is ranked 17 in the AP Poll and 20 Coaches Poll, and BYU’s 5-1 record versus Power 5 teams — including 4-0 versus the Pac-12 — was enough to catch the eye and respect of the committee.
BYU won’t get much of a chance to improve their resume the next three weeks with games versus Idaho State and Georgia Southern, but a road game in the season finale at 4-4 USC could catch the committee’s eye depending on how USC finishes out the season.
