Utah Football Ranked In Associated Press Preseason Top 25
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – The University of Utah football program is ranked in the Associated Press Preseason Top 25 poll that was released on Monday.
The Utes came in at No. 22 in the country after finishing the 2019 season ranked No. 16 after an 11-3 season.
Utah will not play football in the fall after the Pac-12 elected to postpone all fall sports and all competitions until at least January 1, 2021.
