SALT LAKE CITY- The AP Poll thinks the state of Utah has it going on when it comes to college football in 2022. Both the Utes and Cougars made the AP Poll’s preseason rankings with Utah coming in at #7 and BYU at #25. Last season, the state made history with all three FBS schools finishing the 2021 season ranked in the final AP Top 25 Poll for the first time.

Other relevant rankings include Utah conference mates Oregon at #11 and USC at #14. BYU also has some interest in the rankings with opponents Baylor at #10 and Arkansas at #19.
The Utes come in as the highest ranked school in the state, as well as the Pac-12. This is also the highest starting rank, along with the Coaches Poll last week, in program history.
