As the BYU Cougars found great success on the football field this season, it became somewhat of a weekly ritual to see where they were ranked in each of the two major Top 25 polls released on Sundays.
First would come the coaches poll, followed by The Associated Press poll. The latter is generally seen as holding more weight, and media members who vote in it can be closely scrutinized.
The coaches, however, are not, as it’s not made public from week to week which coaches vote for which teams (whether or not coaches are the ones actually filling out ballots each week is a separate conversation). That is until the last poll of the season, of which the 2020 version was released Sunday.
On Monday, the 61 coach votes that comprise the poll were made public. The Cougars were ranked No. 15 in the poll, but a few notable coaches had them in different spots.

Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham, for example, slotted his alma mater in at No. 18. Navy head coach Ken Niumatalolo, who was considered for the BYU head coaching job when it went to Kalani Sitake in 2015, put the Cougars at No. 10. Ed Orgeron, head coach of the defending national champion LSU Tigers, ranked BYU higher than any other coach at No. 9.
Every coach had the Alabama Crimson Tide ranked No. 1.
