BYU fell one spot in the Associated Press Poll to No. 9 and one spot in the USA Today Coaches poll to No. 8.
University of Southern California, which defeated Oregon 44-10 Saturday, moved ahead of the Cougars in the AP Poll and Texas Tech, which defeated Kansas State 58-28, jumped the Cougars in the Coaches' poll.
The Utes moved up one notch in the AP Poll to No. 14 and two places in the coaches poll to No. 13.
Vanderbilt, which defeated Saturday then-ranked No. 13 Auburn, 14-13, jumped ahead of the Utes in the AP poll.
In contrast to a week ago, when nine ranked teams lost, there was little change in the polls overall after a weekend of few upsets.
South Florida, then-ranked No. 10, was the only Top 10 team to lose, falling to Pittsburgh 26-21.
Oklahoma, Alabama, Missouri, Texas and Penn State are ranked in the Top 5.
BYU and Florida, ranked No. 11 in the AP poll, have the distinction of being the only teams to be ranked in the Top 15 without a win against a team from the Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly known as Division 1-A) that has a winning record. The combined record of BYU's FBS opponents is 5-16.
Utah's only win over a FBS team with a winning record was at Air Force (3-2). The combined record of its FBS opponents is 11-15.
The strength of schedule and how team's opponents fare is important because it is one of the key elements of the computer rankings used in the Bowl Championship Series standings, which will be released for the first time on Oct. 19.
