After their third straight win on Saturday, the Utah Utes (4-2) are now receiving votes in the USA Today Coaches poll released on Sunday morning.

Meanwhile, the BYU Cougars (5-2) are also now receiving votes, but that is a downgrade from last week when they were ranked No. 20 in the poll. Previous to that, they were ranked No. 10 but have lost two games in a row.

In Sunday’s poll, the Utes actually got more votes than the Cougars. Utah received 35 votes, effectively ranking it No. 27 in the country (Iowa State got the most votes among teams outside the top 25 with 38). BYU received 23 votes and is effectively ranked No. 30.

Perhaps fittingly, the previously unranked Baylor Bears now occupy the No. 20 spot after beating BYU on Saturday. Arizona State, which was ranked No. 22 last week, received 18 votes after losing to the Utes Saturday.

The only one of Utah’s Pac-12 foes that is ranked higher than it is Oregon, which is No. 10 after it escaped with a win over Cal on Friday.

Georgia remained ranked No. 1, but there was major movement among the rest of the top seven, and it is now as follows:

  1. Georgia
  2. Oklahoma
  3. Cincinnati
  4. Alabama
  5. Ohio State
  6. Michigan
  7. Michigan State

This story will be updated when the Associated Press poll is released later today.
