This BYU win earned 4.13 ranking points because it was a close 3-point road victory against a Power 5 opponent (Colorado), which typically carries significant weight in ranking systems due to the difficulty of winning away from home against major conference teams. The narrow margin of victory (24-21) likely prevented the point total from being higher, as dominant wins typically earn more points than close games, but the quality of opponent and road venue still made it a valuable win
