BYU Football Stays at No. 8 in both AP Poll & Coaches Poll

BYU has earned a spot in both major polls for ten consecutive weeks.

After improving to 8-0 for the first time since 2001 with a dominant win over Boise State, BYU was idle this weekend. BYU's 8-0 start has earned them a spot in the top-25 for ten consecutive weeks.

AP released another in-season AP top 25 on Sunday. It's important to remember that 2020 rankings are different than any rankings we've seen before - some of the ranked teams have only played one or two games while others have played eight games. Most notably, the PAC-12 kicked off their season last weekend which caused some initial shuffling in the rankings.

Here is the new AP top 25:

1. Alabama
2. Notre Dame
3. Ohio State
4. Clemson
5. Texas A&M
6. Florida
7. Cincinnati
8. BYU
9. Indiana
10. Wisconsin
11. Oregon
12. Miami
13. Georgia
14. Oklahoma State
15. Marshall & Coastal Carolina
16. NA (tie for 15)
17. Iowa State
18. Oklahoma
19. Northwestern
20. USC
21. Liberty
22. Texas
23. Auburn
24. Louisiana-Lafayette
25. Tulsa

BYU will host North Alabama on Saturday. The Cougars, of course, will need to take care of business in their final two games of the regular season. With only two games remaining on the schedule, BYU will need help from other teams to make substantial moves in the polls. According to ESPN FPI, the Cougars have the highest probability in the country to finish the regular season undefeated.
