After moving up three spots in the AP Poll last week, BYU remained 15 in the Coaches Poll and 14 in the AP Poll in this week’s newest rankings.
BYU finally had its bye after playing in 10 consecutive weeks, and it didn’t cost them in the polls.
Recency bias is very real and as nice as it is to hit the softer part of the schedule after facing six P5s and three rivals in the first 10 weeks of the year, it’s even nicer that the voters didn’t forget about the 5-1 record against P5s and focus on the three-week stretch of Idaho State, the bye and Georgia Southern.
