The Utah football team ended the regular season with a win over Colorado, their 9th of the season, and was ranked No. 20 in the Coaches Poll and No. 21 in the AP Poll. The Utes fell out of the AP Poll last week, after their loss to UCLA. The Utes will see where they will be ranked in the College Football Playoff on Tuesday.
