After a Thanksgiving bye week, BYU once again remained at #8 in the AP Top 25 and Coaches Polls. No teams ahead of BYU lost this week, so it was no surprise BYU remained steady in the polls. BYU is one of three teams 9-0 along with Notre Dame and Coastal Carolina.
The important rankings come out Tuesday when the second College Football Playoff rankings are unveiled. The general consensus among the national media is that BYU was hosed with its #14 ranking in last week’s inaugural reveal. #8 Northwestern was the lone team ranked above BYU that lost this weekend, so it will be interesting to see if BYU will move up much at all.
