Boise State football team falls a spot in latest AP Top 25
The Boise State football team fell a spot to No. 20 in the latest AP Top 25 poll and remained at No. 19 in the Coaches’ Poll, both of which were released Sunday.
The Broncos are coming off their third straight victory — a 42-9 blowout of New Mexico — and they travel to Utah State on Saturday (8:30 p.m., CBSSN). With a win, Boise State will clinch the Mountain Division title and the right to host the Mountain West Conference championship game.
Cincinnati and Memphis continue to lead the Group of Five teams vying for a New Year’s Six bowl. The Bearcats (9-1) remained at No. 17 in this week’s AP poll after hanging on to beat USF 20-17. Memphis (9-1) also stayed put at No. 18 after a 45-27 win over Houston. SMU (9-1) is right behind Boise State at No. 21, and Appalachian State (9-1) is No. 23.
