SALT LAKE CITY — Kyle Whittingham’s University of Utah football program fell a spot in the latest AP Top 25 Poll released Sunday afternoon.
The Utes are now 2-0 on the season and coming off a 23-12 win over the Baylor Bears. Despite the win and unblemished record, which many others are not able to enjoy after week two, the Utes have fallen to No. 12 in the latest ranking.
The Tennessee Volunteers (+7), Miami Hurricanes (+2), and USC Trojans (+2) all jumped ahead of Utah.
