SALT LAKE CITY — The University of Utah closed out non-conference play Saturday with a blowout 54-16 victory over visiting San Jose State. The win prompted a jump up in the national rankings for the Utes Sunday ahead of conference play.

Utah moved up to No. 21 in the USA Today Amway Coaches Poll after falling to No. 24 last week in a close game against rival BYU. The Utes have been ranked in the Coaches Poll all season, including the preseason poll when Utah was ranked No. 25.

Utah is expected to be ranked for the first time this season in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll when the poll is released at 12 p.
