College Football Rankings 2020: Projected AP Top 25 for Week 10
By Zach Bigalke
Assuming BYU wins this evening, the Cougars have a solid chance to push up into the top 10 of the AP Top 25 for the first time since 2009 — and the first time since ditching the Mountain West for football independence. From the ashes of a season that collapsed from underneath them, Kalani Sitake’s team has a real chance to finish the regular season undefeated for just the third time in school history.
Zach Wilson has been a revelation at quarterback this year. Now healthy, Wilson has been one of the top five quarterbacks in the country through the first half of the season. He is playing his way into first-round potential in the 2021 NFL Draft, and another big night against the Hilltoppers could start to push his name further into the Heisman discussion as well.
Next week the Cougars get a major clash against Boise State that will serve as a clash of Top 25 programs. The winner will put themselves in position to play for a spot in a New Year’s Six bowl.
