What is the story about?

After a loss to Utah over the weekend, BYU only dropped one spot from 9 to 10 in the latest College Football Playoff (CFP) poll released Tuesday evening. Many BYU fans thought would fall more, but BYU’s win over #5 Notre Dame proved to be a major piece in BYU’s ranking and resume. Last year BYU missed the playoff because they got blown out both times they played a CFP team. This year BYU has a win over #5 Notre Dame. Utah worked their way up to #2 in the rankings. Other Big 12 teams include Texas

Tech (12), Houston (14), and Arizona (23). Arizona gives BYU a second ranked win. The Wildcats host Utah this Saturday.

The #10 ranking means BYU has a very good shot to make the CFP field as an at-large team if they finish the season 3-0. Big 10 and SEC teams in contention still have to play each other, so a 3-0 finish for BYU will put them in great position.

BYU will get a chance to right the ship when they host Baylor this Saturday at 1:30 MT.
