Following BYU’s 37-24 road win at UCF where the Cougars were a slight underdog, BYU moved up in one of the premier national rankings again.
Through nine weeks in the 2024 season, the Cougars are 8-0 and sit alone atop the Big 12 standings with a 5-0 conference record.
Where is BYU ranked in the latest Associated Press and coaches polls?
Following a weekend where there were only a handful of top 25 teams that lost and none lost to unranked teams, the Cougars jumped two spots to No. 9 in the Associated Press poll and stayed put at No. 12 in the US LBM Coaches poll.

BYU has a bye this week, before facing rival Utah in Salt Lake City on Nov. 9.
The first College Football Playoff rankings will be released Nov. 5.
When was the last time BYU was ranked in the top 10?
It’s been more than three years since the Cougars were top 10 in the AP rankings.
Following a 34-20 victory over Utah State in the 2021 season that moved BYU to 5-0, the Cougars came in at No. 10 in the AP poll on Oct. 3 of that year.
BYU lost at home to Boise State the following week, dropping to No. 19 with the loss, and subsequently fell out of the polls after a second straight loss, at Baylor.
The Cougars then won five straight and eventually were ranked as high as No. 12 later that season, before losing to UAB in the Independence Bowl. They ended the year ranked No. 19 in the AP poll with a 10-3 record.
Which Big 12 teams are ranked in the top 25?
There are currently four Big 12 teams in the rankings — three in both polls and another that showed up in the AP rankings this week.
Iowa State (7-0, 4-0 Big 12), which was on a bye this week, fell one spot to No. 11 in the AP poll and stayed at No. 10 in the coaches poll, two spots above BYU.
Kansas State (7-1, 4-1 Big 12), which beat rival Kansas 29-27, fell one spot to No. 17 in the AP rankings and moved up one spot to No. 15 in the coaches poll.
Colorado (6-2, 4-1 Big 12), which beat Cincinnati 34-24, entered the AP rankings at No. 22, while it is one spot out of the top 25 in the coaches poll, as the top vote-getter among other teams receiving votes not in the top 25.
How did the top of the AP and coaches polls shake up after Week 9?
There was minimal movement at the top of the polls.
In the AP poll, there was one change at No. 5, with Oregon at No. 1, Georgia at No. 2, Penn State at No. 3, Ohio State at No. 4 and Miami leapfrogging Texas to take over at No. 5.
In the coaches poll, the top 5 stayed the same, with Oregon at No. 1, Georgia at No. 2, Penn State at No. 3, Ohio State at No. 4 and Miami at No. 5.
On Saturday afternoon, no. 11 BYU football traveled to UCF and handled the Knights in a 37-24 victory. With the win, BYU took over sole possession of first place in the Big 12 standings. Below are the updated Big 12 standings along with commentary on the race for the Big 12 championship.

Historically, two-loss teams have been able to make the Big 12 championship game. Two-loss teams typically need to win a tiebreaker to go their way to get in, but there is a precedent to making the championship game with two losses.
Technically, that would leave nine teams with a chance to make the title game. However, the first two months of the season suggest there is a four-way race to the Big 12 championship between BYU, Iowa State, Kansas State, and Colorado. Those four teams have separated themselves from the pack at this point.
BYU and Iowa State are the only two teams that control their destiny. If they win out, it will be a BYU-Iowa State showdown in Arlington. That would certainly be the best-case scenario for BYU, and it would likely be the best-case scenario for the conference as well. Two 12-0 teams would probably translate to two bids in the College Football Playoff for the Big 12.
Kansas State is a legitimate threat to be 10-1 when they face Iowa State in the regular season finale. After surviving a scare against Kansas on Saturday night, the Wildcats just need to beat Houston, Arizona State, and Cincinnati to be 10-1 going into that game.
Colorado has the opportunity to make a run to the title game as well. The Buffaloes are 4-1 in conference play and 6-2 overall. Their upcoming schedule includes home games against Oklahoma State and Utah and road games against Texas Tech and Kansas.
What happens if all four teams are 8-1 and tied for first place? That could depend on who BYU loses to. We will have a complete breakdown of that scenario in the coming days.

The venue keeps changing, but Arizona’s inconsistent, inefficient offense has remained the same.
The Wildcats once again failed to finish drives after getting deep into opposing territory, finding the end zone on their first drive and not again until it was too late in a 41-19 loss at No. 14 BYU on Saturday afternoon.
Arizona (3-3, 1-2 Big 12) got inside the Cougars’ 30-yard line on six of its first nine drives, but like last week’s 28-22 home loss to Texas Tech that’s when the offense fell apart. The Wildcats gained 51 yards on 19 snaps inside the 30 compared to 338 on 65 plays outside the 30.
The UA was 11 of 19 on third down, a big improvement from the 3-of-14 performance a week ago, but the failures on third down included another interception by Noah Fifita on a throw to the end zone. That came in a 7-7 game in the second quarterback.
Fifita turned it over four times, including twice on Arizona’s first three snaps in the second half, which turned a 14-7 halftime deficit into a 24-7 margin. The redshirt sophomore was 26 of 52 for 275 yards with a touchdown but also a career-high three interceptions and a fumble, and for the season has thrown nine picks against eight TD passes.
BYU (6-0, 3-0) was held under 400 yards by an Arizona defense that was already without senior defensive backs Gunner Maldonado and Treydan Stukes but then lost junior linebacker Jacob Manu to a targeting ejection four plays into the game. The Wildcats held the Cougars to 4 of 11 on third down and got another fourth-down stop early but were susceptible to big plays, with BYU getting 224 yards on 12 chunk plays.
Down seven at the half, Arizona’s first two drives in the third quarter lasted a combined three plays, with two of those resulting in turnovers. Fifita was intercepted on the first snap after his throw to Sam Olson in the flat was picked off and then lost a fumble on the third.
BYU needed one play to make it 21-7 after the interception, with BYU QB Jake Retzlaff hitting Chase Roberts on a 9-yard TD pass, but after the fumble recovery the Cougars settled for a field goal and a 24-7 edge.
The Wildcats gained five yards on their first three post-halftime drives before getting 22 on the fourth, but that was enough to cut the deficit to 24-10 on a 47-yard field goal by Tyler Loop with 6:30 left in the third. Arizona again got inside the BYU 30 before stalling, though, with Fifita getting tripped up trying to scramble on 3rd and 8.
The Cougars added another field goal to make it 27-10 with 1:47 left in the third, and Arizona again got it back to a 2-score game on a 21-yard Loop field goal with 9:02 remaining, but that came at the end of an 18-play drive that used up more than seven minutes. The Wildcats had 1st and goal at the BYU 8 but threw three straight times, getting only five yards.
BYU then put the game away with a 1-yard TD run by LJ Martin with 5:38 to go.
Arizona finally returned the end zone with 2:58 remaining on a 2-yard run by Quali Conley, his 6th rushing score of the season, then went for two and didn’t convert to make it 34-19. It got the ball back with 2:49 after recovering a BYU fumble but turned it over on downs.
Capping the scoring was a pick-six by BYU’s Isaiah Glasker with 1:02 left after Fifita was running for his life in his own end zone on 4th and 10 and threw up a dead duck.
The Manu ejection came on the fourth play of the game, helping BYU get quickly into the UA red zone. But then the Wildcat defense stiffened, with backups Kamuela Ka’aihue—who came in for Manu—and Dominic Lolesio each posting tackles for loss before Retzlaff threw incomplete out of the end zone on 4th and 4 from the 5.
It was Arizona’s seventh 4th-down stop of the season, fifth in the state of Utah.
The UA then marched all the way downfield on its opening drive, gaining 100 yards en route to taking a 7-0 lead. The extra five yards were the result of a penalty on 3rd and 4, which erased a play that would not have gotten the first down, and instead Fifita found McMillan on a 39-yard catch.
Three plays later Fifita connected with Montana Lemonious-Craig for a 14-yard TD pass, also on third down.
BYU tied it at 7 early in the second quarter on a 20-yard TD pass from Retzlaff to Parker Kingston, the score coming one play after the Cougars converted on a 4th and 3 from the UA 35.
Arizona was just outside the red zone on its second drive but Fifita was intercepted by BYU’s Tanner Wall at the 1-yard line. It was the eighth consecutive game with a pick for Fifita.
The Cougars maximized that UA mistake, taking a 14-7 lead with 6:30 left before halftime on a 33-yard TD pass from Kingston toMartin on a trick play. Kingston took a backward pass from Retzlaff and then hit Martin, who had run a wheel route.
Arizona’s third drive again got inside the BYU 30 but again fell apart, this time coming up short on 4th and 2 when Quali Conley’s 2-yard gain—that was confirmed by the chains—was then overturned on replay.
The UA returns home for its next two games, hosting Colorado on Oct. 19 for Homecoming and then West Virginia on Oct. 26 for Family Weekend. The Wildcats’ next game has already sold out and will be another day game, the earliest in the year they’ll be playing at home during the day since 2016.

WACO, Texas — Digging an early hole, Baylor football couldn’t overcome a 21-point first-quarter deficit and fell to the 22nd-ranked BYU Cougars, 34-28, Saturday afternoon at McLane Stadium.
The Bears twice had chances to take the lead, but they turned it over on downs at the Cougars’ 25 after a first-career interception by defensive lineman Elinus Noel III and then safety Crew Wakley picked off a Sawyer Robertson pass intended for receiver Ashtyn Hawkins.
In a career performance, Robertson completed 27-of-48 passes for 324 yards and three touchdowns and also scored on a 20-yard TD run. But he was also picked off twice and was sacked three times for 30 yards in losses.
BYU (5-0, 2-0) quarterback Jake Retzlaff threw for 216 yards and two touchdowns and added 53 yards and another score on the ground to account for the bulk of the Cougars’ 367 yards total offense. Darius Lassiter caught eight passes for 120 yards, including a 44-yard TD grab.
For the Bears (2-3, 0-2), Josh Cameron also had a breakout game with seven catches for a career-high 125 yards and two touchdowns.
Facing a 31-14 deficit at the half, Baylor came back with a 15-yard TD pass from Robertson to Ashtyn Hawkins in the third quarter and then pulled within a single score when Cameron hauled in a 23-yarder with 10:07 left in the game.
Scoring on each of its first four possessions, BYU jumped out to a 28-7 lead in the first 21 minutes of an opening half that saw the Cougars outgain the Bears, 286-216, and dominate time of possession, 17:59-12:01.
Retzlaff had touchdown passes of 26 yards to Miles Davis and a perfect 44-yard strike to Lassiter and also scored on a 17-yard run. BYU’s other score, a two-yard run by Chase Roberts, came after a batted interception by defensive tackle Blake Mangelson on Baylor’s first offensive play of the game.
The offense put together a nice drive, moving from its own 25 down to the Cougars’ 29, but linebacker Isaiah Glasker dropped Bryson Washington for a two-yard loss on fourth-and-one for a turnover on downs.
Trailing 21-0, Baylor got on the board late in the first quarter when Robertson scored on a 20-yard keeper on another fourth-and-one play, somehow leaping and squeezing between two players to get free up the middle. That capped off an eight-play, 80-yard drive that took 3 ½ minutes off the clock.
The Bears scored again on a one-yard TD pass from Robertson to Cameron with 2:12 left in the half, but Will Ferrin padded BYU’s lead with a 54-yard field goal before freshman Connor Hawkins missed his first career field goal attempt from 50 on the last play of the half.
Baylor will go back on the road to face 18th-ranked Iowa State (3-0, 0-0) at 6:30 p.m. next Saturday, Oct. 5, at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames. The Cyclones are playing at Houston Saturday night.

The College Football Playoff National Championship will be Monday, January 20, 2025, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
The Week 2 college football schedule gets underway Friday as the BYU Cougars and the SMU Mustangs square off at Gerald J. Ford Stadium. Last season, the Cougars struggled immensely on the road, logging a 1-5 record. On the flip side, SMU defended its home turf, going 6-0. These schools matched up in the 2022 New Mexico Bowl. BYU narrowly topped SMU 24-23.
The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every FBS college football game 10,000 times. Since its inception, it has generated a stunning profit of well over $2,000 for $100 players on its top-rated college football picks against the spread. Anyone who has followed it has seen huge returns.
Junior tight end RJ Maryland is an athletic playmaker for this offense. The Texas native thrives attacking the seams and is dangerous with the ball in his hands. In 2024, he’s racked up nine catches for 173 yards, and one score. Through his SMU career, Maryland amassed 71 catches for 987 yards and 14 touchdowns.
Safety Isaiah Nwokobia provides SMU with an instinctive and alert defender in the secondary. Nwokobia attacks downhill and is a willing tackler who has impressive awareness in coverage. Through two games, the Texas native leads the team in total tackles with 14. Junior defensive end Isaiah Smith generates pressure and causes havoc in the backfield. The Washington DC native has 41 total stops and 10 sacks in his SMU career thus far. See who to back at SportsLine.
Why BYU can cover
The Cougars are looking to keep the ground attack rolling. In the season-opening win, BYU finished with 179 rushing yards and two rushing scores. Sophomore running back LJ Martin is a decisive runner who has the power to barrel through defenders. The Texas native had a team-high 67 rushing yards, 5.2 yards per carry and one touchdown.
Senior running back Hinckley Ropati is an additional force in the backfield. Ropati is stout and wears out defenses with his 220-pound frame. The California native finished with 57 yards and one touchdown in his previous outing. As a pass-catcher, junior receiver Keelan Marion stretches the field and tracks the deep ball well. In the season opener, he racked up three catches for 61 yards. See who to back at SportsLine.
