Utes move up in final College Football Playoff rankings to No. 19

The Utes haven’t played in over a week, and are coming off of a couple of losses, but are still moving up in the College Football Playoff top 25 poll. The Utes moved up to No. 19, up from No. 20, this week, and will maintain their streak of being ranked in every College Football Playoff poll to date.

The Utes joins Washington, USC, Colorado and Stanford. This says quite a bit about the respect that Utah has with the committee, and is a really nice building block going forward. Of course, this season is disappointing based off of the last couple of weeks, specifically the Oregon game, but Utah is knocking on the door, they just have to find a way to get over the hump.

1. Alabama
2. Clemson
3. Ohio State
4. Washington
5. Penn State
6. Michigan
7. Oklahoma
8. Wisconsin
9. USC
