A week after making one of their biggest jumps in the college football polls despite not playing, the BYU Cougars fell a spot in both major polls while winning.

BYU fell from No. 7 to No. 8 in the USA Today Coaches' Top 25 and from No. 8 to No. 9 in the Associated Press Top 25 after its sloppy 34-14 win over Utah State on Friday. The Cougars remained at No. 9 in the Harris poll.

Obviously, BYU's win was not impressive enough.

The University of Utah, meanwhile, moved up from No. 15 to No. 13 in the coaches poll and from No. 15 to No. 14 in the AP poll after its 31-28 come-from-behind win over Oregon State on Thursday. The Utes are No. 13 in the Harris poll, which is a poll of former coaches, administrators and media members and is actually more important than the AP poll because it counts as one-third of the formula used in the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) standings.

The average of six computer rankings, the Harris poll and the coaches' poll are used to form the BCS standings. Because its strength of schedule is greater than BYU's, Utah is ranked higher by the computers and almost certainly would be ranked higher in the BCS rankings if they were out today.

The first BCS rankings will be made public on Oct. 19.

Last week, after a bye, BYU jumped from No. 11 to No. 7 in the coaches poll and from No. 11 to No. 8 in the AP, causing Cougars coach Bronco Mendenhall to question their value and pertinence during his weekly news conference.

The Cougars and USC, a big winner over Oregon, swapped places in the AP poll. The Cougars and Texas Tech, which crushed Kansas State, swapped places in the coaches poll. BYU (5-0) was the only team in the rankings that won its game and fell at least one spot.

Utah (6-0) jumped past South Florida and Auburn in both major polls.

Oklahoma remained No. 1 in both major polls.
