Undefeated Utah improved to 9-0 with a 28-20 win over No. 9 BYU and rose to No. 2 in the College Football Playoff rankings, matching the program's highest AP ranking. BYU fell to No. 10 in the CFP rankings and remained in the projected 12-team playoff field, with Notre Dame's rise to No. 5 helping the Cougars' résumé. Utah quarterback Devon Dampier had two passing and two rushing touchdowns, while first-year coach Morgan Scalley urged the team to stay focused with several games remaining. The Utes visit No. 22 Arizona on Saturday, and BYU hosts Baylor.
