Utes Ranked No. 25 in latest CFP Top-25

Even after four losses, the Utes remain ranked in the newest top 25 by the CFP committee.

Russ Isabella-USA TODAY Sports

It was a tough, cold, rainy Saturday for Utah fans, and the weather was bad too. The Utes lost their 4th game of the season, in rather disappointing fashion to Arizona at Rice-Eccles Stadium.

It appears the College Football Playoff selection committee has maintained a high level of respect for the Utes, and the Pac-12, by keeping the Utes at #25 in their latest top-25. The Utes are joined by Oregon, UCLA, Arizona State and Arizona in the top-25. Utah is the only four loss team in the rankings. If you count USC, who has been in and out of the rankings the last month or so, the Utes are 2-and-3 against teams that have been ranked in the CFP Top-25. The other polls, which mean basically nothing now, dropped the Utes from their rankings.

This week, the #25 Utes will travel to Boulder to take on the Buffalos, and try to get win #8 on the season.
