PROVO -- BYU moved up to No. 14 in the BCS Standings and No. 13 and No. 16 in the national polls this week after its 26-23 overtime victory over nationally ranked Utah on Saturday.

At 10-2 and 7-1 in the Mountain West Conference, the Cougars have become the first teams in BYU history to record four consecutive seasons of 10 or more wins. BYU finished the regular season in second place in the MWC behind No. 4 TCU.
