time ever. It isn't secretaries of football coaches sending in thoughtless votes anymore. The Utes are being rewarded for beating 3 ranked teams (including Stanford and USC that were ranked). They lost to 3 currently ranked teams and WSU.
I can see why you are frustrated. It was much much easier for BYU to be ranked in the past. Teams with patsy schedules are punished. On the other hand, if BYU manages to go 3-1 or 4-0 with the tough early games next year - they could be ranked all season long.
