Arizona State and Big 12 excluded from top 15 in latest college football rankings

Despite a 28-23 victory against BYU on Saturday – arguably the most impressive win by a ranked college football team this weekend – the Arizona State Sun Devils (9-2) are still well outside the top 10 in the latest top 25 coaches poll.

The Sun Devils moved from 21st to 15th in the poll and are now the highest-ranked Big 12 team.

But somehow they’re still ranked behind three ACC teams, two three-loss SEC teams, and a Boise State team that’s struggling to beat very bad Mountain West competition .

The coaches’ poll is irrelevant when it comes to the College Football Playoff rankings, but it’s obvious that coaches — or whoever they delegate voting responsibility to — don’t watch the games.

The most confusing ranking? Boise State moved up one spot to 11th after barely beating Wyoming 17-13 on Saturday. The Broncos trailed at halftime and the fourth quarter before rallying to win. Wyoming is 2-9 and lost 48-7 to Arizona State earlier this season.

We will see what the CFP committee thinks about it during the next ranking on Tuesday. With one week remaining in the regular season, here is the complete top 25 from the coaches poll:
