KSL Sports Front Row: Utah Receving Disrespect Nationaly After Being Ranked #2 in CFP Rankings
Utah is No. 2 and BYU is No. 10. Is the College Football Playoff committee finally giving the Big 12 the respect it deserves?
Jeremiah Jensen, Stevenson Sylvester and Sam Farnsworth react to the latest CFP rankings. Undefeated Utah moved up to No. 2, and BYU stayed in the top 10 after the Holy War loss. The crew also pushes back on national doubters like Stephen A. Smith, Heather Dinich and Paul Finebaum, who don't think the Utes belong that high.
Next, they look at whether the Big 12 can get two teams into the playoff and hear Kalani Sitake and Morgan Scalley on next year's 24-team playoff. Then they preview the weekend. Utah faces a tough road test at Arizona against Noah Fifita, and BYU hosts a Baylor team that has been playing well lately.
Plus, KSL Pick 'Em for college football and the NFL, and a hot take on whether the Jazz are already done after Lauri Markkanen's hand injury.
