SALT LAKE CITY — The national rankings continue for Utah athletics as the Runnin' Utes were voted into the Top 25 of the USA Today Coaches Poll Thursday.
The Utes were voted as the No. 16 team in the preseason Coaches Poll following last year's berth to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament. The Utes are one of three teams from the Pac-12 included in the Coaches Poll, with Arizona coming in at No. 10 and California at No. 14. Utah will play California twice (Jan. 3 and Jan. 27) and Arizona once (Feb. 27) this season.
