PROVO, Utah – BYU football tumbled in the College Football Playoff rankings after suffering their first loss of the season.
The College Football Playoff Committee unveiled the third Top 25 ranking. BYU dropped from No. 6 to No. 14 after the upset loss to Kansas.
Despite the eight-spot dip in the rankings, BYU remains the fifth-highest-ranked conference favorite in the College Football Playoff bracket.
If the season ended today based on the rankings, BYU would be the No. 12 seed in the bracket, and it would play the five-seed Ohio State in Columbus in the first round of the Playoff.
BYU would play a road game in the first round because the College Football Playoff Committee ranked projected Mountain West champion Boise State higher than the Cougars as a potential Big 12 Champion.
