SALT LAKE CITY — The University of Utah was on the sidelines this week, watching the action during the team’s much-needed bye week. And although there was no action on the field for the Utes, the program found itself moving up in the national rankings again this season.
Utah moved up to No. 18 in the USA Today Amway Coaches Poll, up one spot from its previous ranking of No. 19. The Associated Press Top 25 Poll, which had Utah ranked No. 20 last week, will be released at noon.
The Utes remain one of four teams from the Pac-12 ranked this week.
