The University of Utah's football team has earned a spot in the Associated Press Top 25 rankings after starting the year unranked and a lackluster 2024 season.

The Utes faced off against UCLA in their Aug. 30 season opener at the Rose Bowl, where they triumphed over the Bruins, 43-10.

In this week’s rankings, Utah made the AP poll, landing in the 25th spot.

BYU missed the top 25 this week after shutting out Oregon's Portland State 69-0 in Provo.

Ohio State moved up two spots to No. 1. Penn State and LSU round-out the top three.

Utah will play Cal Poly in its home opener Saturday, Sept. 6, at 4 p.m. MT.

BYU meets Stanford at home Saturday at 8:15 p.m.
