Utah disrespected in the latest AP Top 25 Poll despite staying undefeated
Kyle Whittingham’s University of Utah football team, now 2-0 after defeating the Baylor Bears 23-12, experienced a slight setback in the latest AP Top 25 Poll, dropping one spot to No. 12 despite their perfect start to the season. This fall in the rankings reflects the dynamic nature of early-season polls, where strong performances by other teams can lead to unexpected shifts.
Several teams, including the Tennessee Volunteers (+7), Miami Hurricanes (+2), and USC Trojans (+2), leapfrogged Utah in the latest rankings, indicating their impressive performances in recent games. The Texas Longhorns made a significant jump, overtaking Ohio State to secure the No. 2 spot following a commanding victory over Michigan, while the Oregon Ducks dropped two places to No. 9 after a shaky outing against Boise State. Notable falls also include Michigan and Notre Dame, who plummeted to No. 17 and No. 18, respectively, after suffering tough losses.

Despite slipping to No. 12, Utah remains the highest-ranked Big 12 team, maintaining a strong presence among its conference peers. Other Big 12 teams in the latest poll include Oklahoma State at No. 13, Kansas State at No. 14, Arizona at No. 20, and Iowa State, which climbed to No. 21 after defeating Iowa. The Kansas Jayhawks, however, fell out of the rankings following a loss to Illinois, though they still received votes, alongside BYU, UCF, and TCU.
The updated AP Top 25 Poll is led by the Georgia Bulldogs at No. 1, followed by Texas and Ohio State. Alabama, Ole Miss, Missouri, Tennessee, Penn State, Oregon, and Miami round out the top ten. Utah will look to improve their standing as the season progresses, aiming to capitalize on their undefeated record and strengthen their position in the highly competitive landscape of college football.

KANOSH, Utah — The United States Geological Survey recorded multiple earthquakes near Kanosh Sunday morning, each of them having an average magnitude of 3.0.
The first earthquake, magnitude 3.0, was detected just after 12:30 a.m., with the epicenter located half a mile south of Kanarraville.
The second quake, magnitude 3.2, was detected around 5:45 a.m., with the epicenter nearly five miles south-southwest of Kanosh. This was followed by two more quakes in the same area, a magnitude 2.5 quake coming in around 6:35 a.m., followed by a third around 7:45 a.m, which measured at magnitude 3.3.
This has since been followed by another quake, measuring at magnitude 3.7, being detected around 8:45 a.m. The geographic location in the USGS report places the epicenter approximately over two miles south of the Dry Wash Trail, about six miles south-southwest of Kanosh.
FOX 13 News previously spoke with researchers at University of Utah, who said that earthquake swarms are relatively common. A study published in 2023 posits that swarms may be triggered by geothermal activity. The findings came after a series of seismic swarms were detected in central Utah, within the vicinity of three geothermal power plants.
The study also says that the swarms fall into a different category than aftershocks that typically follow large quakes, such as the magnitude 5.7 earthquake that hit the Wasatch Fault back in 2020.
