No. 2 BYU visits UCF after Notre Dame win and poll rise

Undefeated BYU, ranked No. 2 in the AP poll after its 28-24 win over Notre Dame, visits 3-3 UCF in Orlando. The victory also pushed BYU into the No. 1 debate: one Top 25 voter placed the Cougars first, while the coaches poll ranked them third behind Miami and Ohio State. UCF is coming off a bye after consecutive losses to Houston and Oklahoma State, and will look to use its turnover margin and red-zone efficiency against a BYU offense that has been especially effective on third down. BYU is favored, though the line has moved toward UCF; previews warn that the cross-country trip after an emotional win could make the game a challenging spot for the Cougars.
