That's too bad. I'd prefer to be underrated as opposed to the alternate.

And fans, especially after last season.

At this point a ranking is deserved. We'll see what happens next week.

LOL... You were first last week too. You just refreshing as fast as you can? 🙂

I bet he is the first to get up to bear his testimony as well😜

How did you see that? I've been refreshing every 15s and it still hasn't updated for me. Now it did.

Click on his link

LiveCoug

I did and at the time it still showed it as BYU 25 for me.

Your page was probably cached. If you’re going to F5, best to do so in incognito mode.

I think either control f5 or shift f5 also forces a fresh page load

How did BYU jump Michigan State?! That's a weird move

Kajdin

9/23/18 12:05pm

LOL. Good point. That's very weird.

Perception of BYU's record against Arizona, Cal, and Wisconsin all went up.

ataylor

9/23/18 12:07pm

They have a MUCH better resume than Michigan State.

Mr. Scoobs

9/23/18 12:08pm

But they had a much better victory than we did yesterday. I'll take it though.

LiveCoug

9/23/18 12:09pm

Indiana? Blech , not a big win over a crap team.

pegushin

9/23/18 12:53pm

I'd say a win on the road against a 3-0 Indiana team (UVA's only loss, BTW) is more impressive than a home FCS win

LiveCoug

9/23/18 12:57pm

They have a worse loss though (Cal > ASU) And Wisconsin is a stronger win

Need to boost in ratings for Washington game.

Love the hype. Deserved or not

Coogar2

It looks like outside of BYU fans, no one is more appreciative of our victory

Mark320

9/23/18 12:05pm

And Cal up to #24

Mike Honcho

9/23/18 12:05pm

It sure is wonderful to see that!

Wow! I am shocked. That is a big jump!

Oregon moved up a spot after that choke job? Cool.

mulletino

9/23/18 12:07pm

Sounds like we're in for a jump in the polls regardless of outcome Saturday!

ataylor

9/23/18 12:08pm

Well, they did outplay Stanford and proved their first 3 wins weren't just

cougaman

9/23/18 12:48pm

Texas and Kentucky jumped past BYU or they would be 18th

Croweater

9/23/18 12:09pm

I don't want to be 18th after 4 games ever again because of what happened last time. Even though we were 4-0.

FightingCoug12

9/23/18 12:13pm

Kentucky is undefeated with wins over Florida and Mississippi State

BrutustheBrash

9/23/18 12:27pm

Sad news, we'll have to wait another 35 years for an upset of a top 10 team

Kajdin

9/23/18 12:13pm

I was hoping they’d be top ten for that reason!

D.T. Survivor

9/23/18 12:54pm

unreal..... now let's get on the recruiting trail and score some more ballers.....

HarlemCoug

9/23/18 12:18pm

I heard in the game that we got two yesterday

TEXAS

9/23/18 12:27pm

Any word on who?

cougaman

9/23/18 12:47pm

No but I think Dave McCann said something along those lines yesterday

TEXAS

Being top 25 really helps

Coogar2

Seems high at this point but, hey, I’ll take it...

Human-voted polls are so stupid.

stev

9/23/18 1:22pm

yeah, i hate humans

here's to hoping

9/23/18 2:30pm

yeah, they shouldn't be allowed to vote

The media has a vested interest in making BYU-UW a marquee match-up.

Here are the voters who picked BYU.

jackcrack7

Anyway to see how how coaches votes in USA poll. Wonder where Twit has us

zerome4sooners

9/23/18 2:50pm

They only show Coaches poll ballots for the final poll

BrutustheBrash

Thanks, did not know that

Enjoy the ride.

Cal beat us on the road, they are 3-0, and they are ranked below us?

jamalccc

9/23/18 3:15pm

BYU beat Wisconsin on the road and is ranked below them.

Byron McNertney

9/23/18 3:35pm

I'm more confused by Oregon losing but moving up.

SpiffCoug

9/23/18 3:41pm

Well, they should have won, but fumbled with 45 seconds left in the game.

Benfica1

9/23/18 4:44pm

But they lost. It doesn’t really matter when they fumbled. The same result could have happened from a fumble earlier in

YIsForBrigham

9/23/18 4:53pm

You asked & I gave a possible rational of a voter. Took a top 10 team to OT.

Benfica1

9/23/18 5:38pm

I wonder if votes were due prior to the game ending?

SpiffCoug

9/23/18 6:05pm

So good to see BYU in the top 25 again, feels like it’s been forever

Longbow Cougar

9/23/18 3:19pm

Moved up as much or more than any other ranked team

Coogar2

9/23/18 3:23pm

It will be more than that should BYU take down UW

Surprised Washington dropped.
