Top 5 stays same in BCS standings
The Enquirer
A perfect record probably isn't going to be enough to get Utah into the Bowl Championship Series.
The unbeaten Utes slipped one spot to seventh in the BCS standings, a drop that could cost them a berth in one of the four big-money bowl games. The top five in the BCS stayed the same with Southern California, Oklahoma and Auburn leading the way, followed by California and Wisconsin.
