Utah Rises to No. 6 as BYU Falls to No. 8 in AP Poll
Utah climbed to No. 6 in the latest AP Top 25 college football poll, while BYU dropped to No. 8 following BYU's loss at UCF.
Salt Lake City, UT, October 25, 2026 —
Utah moved to No. 6 in the latest AP Top 25 college football poll, while BYU fell to No. 8 after losing at UCF, according to the available summary of the rankings.
The reported positions place Utah two spots ahead of BYU in the latest poll. The summary does not provide either team’s previous ranking, the number of votes received, or the date the poll was released, so the size and timing of each change cannot be specified.
For BYU, the summary identifies its loss at UCF as the event preceding its drop in the rankings. It does not give the game’s score, when it was played, or further details about the matchup. No cause beyond that sequence is provided, and the available information does not establish how poll voters weighed the result.
The summary reports Utah’s rise but does not identify an opponent, a recent game result, or another reason for the team’s move to No. 6. It also does not say where Utah or BYU stood in the prior poll. Those details are not available here, limiting comparisons of the teams’ week-to-week movement.
The confirmed update is therefore limited to the two positions in the latest AP Top 25: Utah at No. 6 and BYU at No. 8, with BYU’s loss at UCF noted alongside its decline. Additional information about the poll, the teams’ records, voting totals and game results was not provided.
