SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – After a dominating 38-13 win over the Washington State Cougars on Saturday night, the Utah Utes moved up two spots to No. 17 in the latest Associated Press Top 25 Poll.

The Utes are one of two teams in the Pac-12 South Division to be in the poll and one of four teams in the entire conference. They are the third highest ranked team in the Pac-12.
