Utahs football team secured their fifth consecutive win, a thirty-one to twenty-one victory over Kansas, but it wasnt enough to secure a spot in the Big Twelve championship game or an at-large bid in the College Football Playoff. The Utes dropped to number fifteen in the AP Top Twenty-Five poll, trailing contenders like Miami, Vanderbilt, and Texas, who all won key games during rivalry week. Vanderbilt defeated Tennessee, Miami dominated Pitt, and Texas moved ahead of Utah with a win against Texas A&M. Utahs chances of a Big Twelve title and top ten playoff ranking were dashed when Arizona defeated Arizona State, leaving the Utes out of the championship game and potentially relegated to a New Years Eve bowl game.
