ROVO, Utah – The College Football Playoff Committee has given BYU football a jump in the second installment of their Top 25 rankings.
The latest Playoff rankings, which dropped on Tuesday night, show undefeated BYU jumping from No. 9 to No. 6.
BYU improved to 9-0 overall and 6-0 in the Big 12 after a 22-21 victory at rival Utah.

Oregon was once again the No. 1 ranked team in the country. The Ducks are 10-0 this season.
Texas is ranked No. 3 but is the No. 2 seed in the bracket as the highest SEC team.
