Another week, another victory for both BYU and Utah. It’s becoming a habit in 2025.
That resulted in both the Cougars, a 44-13 winner over TCU, and Utah, a 55-28 winner over Baylor, moving up in the latest top 25 rankings.
Where are BYU and Utah ranked in the latest AP and US LBM Coaches polls after Week 12?

The Cougars also jumped one spot to No. 11 in the latest US LBM Coaches poll with 923 points.
BYU still controls its destiny to reach the conference championship game if the Cougars win out. Next up is a road game next Saturday at Cincinnati (6 p.m. MST, Fox), who lost to Arizona over the weekend. Fox’s “Big Noon Kickoff” will be in town for the game.
Utah (8-2, 5-2 Big 12) also moved up in the polls, jumping two spots to No. 13 in the AP rankings, with 795 points.

Utah will host Kansas State next Saturday (2 p.m. MST, ESPN2) in the Utes’ home finale. They remain in the conference hunt with two weeks remaining in the regular season. Utah’s hopes hinge on either Texas Tech or BYU losing another regular-season game.
