10. Kyle Whittingham, Utah
Last year: 19
Record: 144-70
Lowdown: Whittingham made a nine-spot jump up into the top 10. It might come as a surprise that this is his first top-10 appearance, but the Utes have made the jump to a borderline top-10 program under his watch. Utah has the best record in the Pac-12 in the CFP era at 68-31, and Whittingham has developed a steady wave of NFL talent in that stretch. Why isn’t he ranked higher? The top nine coaches all have what he needs next: A CFP appearance.
