After a strong couple of weeks, including a sweep of the LA schools, the Utes have broken into the Top-25 of both polls, once again. Coming in at No. 22 in the AP and No. 23 in the Coaches, after being out of the polls for more than a month. Utah's jumped in and out of the polls all season long, especially after their inconsistent start to Pac-12 play. This will help with any post season consideration, especially along with their Top 10 RPI.
Here are the complete polls.
