BYU Cracks the Top 10, Utah's Defense Dominates & Colorado Hits Rock Bottom | First and 12, Week 3
It's Week 3 of the Big 12 and the picture is starting to take shape — sort of. Josh Furlong and Alex Kirry break down everything happening across the conference on this week's First and 12, brought to you by Mountain America Credit Union.
This Week's Rundown:
- BYU enters the AP Top 10 at No. 9 — the highest-ranked Big 12 team — but are East Coast voters giving them enough credit?
- Utah's defense looks elite under Morgan Scalley, posting a shutout against Utah State. Is this the best defensive unit in the conference?
- Could BYU vs. Utah on Nov. 7 be a top-10 matchup at Rice-Eccles? The hosts make the case.
- Colorado gets embarrassed at Northwestern, 41–7. Coach Prime reacts — and it's exactly what you'd expect.
- CFP expansion to 24 teams? What it means for the Big 12 and who benefits most.
- Big 12 Power Rankings: BYU and Utah sit 1-2, but who rounds out the top five?
- Josh's AP ballot under the microscope — including which team he'd drop just for the chaos.
- Houston, West Virginia, Kansas State, and Oklahoma State all making noise. Who's legit?
- Week 4 predictions: Utah at Iowa State, Colorado at Baylor, TCU at UCF, and more.
Big 12 AP Rankings After Week 3:
- No. 9 BYU
