Following their wild 66-49 win over former head coach Bronco Mendenhall and the Virginia Cavaliers on Saturday, the BYU Cougars are back in the Top 25 of the USA Today coaches poll released Sunday morning.

The Cougars vaulted all the way up to No. 20 after receiving the second-most votes among non-ranked teams last week. Coincidentally, No. 20 is where they were ranked before getting knocked out of the Top 25 two weeks ago.

Virginia is no longer receiving votes after being four spots behind BYU last week.

The Utah Utes received 10 votes following their 44-24 win over UCLA on Saturday. That is up from the one vote the Utes received last week.

Oregon remained the only Pac-12 team in the Top 25. The Ducks rose two spots this week to No. 8.

Georgia remained No. 1 in the poll.

This story will be updated after the Associated Press Top 25 poll is released at approximately 12 p.m. MT.
