BYU Climbs Up In Big 12, PAC-12 Power Poll

SALT LAKE CITY – We’re two weeks into the college football season and are starting to get a slightly clearer picture of who the real contenders are in the Big 12 and the PAC-12 conferences.

As they do every week, Ben Anderson, Jake Scott, and Jake Hatch rank every team in the Big 12 and the PAC-12, with the addition of BYU to see who owns bragging rights between the two conferences.

You can listen to the full breakdown of the 23 teams in the player below, and see how each program performed last weekend, whether they climbed or fell in the poll, plus a preview of what’s ahead.
