Rankings from AP Poll

The Utes were unable to get another bowl bid in the 1997 season , going just 6?5. This was also the last season in the old Rice Stadium . Immediately after the final home game (against Rice University ), the stadium was torn down and rebuilt into the new Rice-Eccles Stadium , partly in anticipation of the upcoming 2002 Olympic Games .
