SALT LAKE CITY — The University of Utah football program has some work to do if it hopes to be in the College Football Playoff discussion after the season's first rankings were released Tuesday.
After lengthy review the College Football Playoff committee released its first rankings of the season Tuesday and had Utah ranked at No. 12. The ranking is one spot higher than Utah's ranking in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll and the Amway USA Today Coaches Poll, which were released Sunday.
Since its inception last year, Utah has been ranked in the College Football Playoff rankings every week.
