BOISE - The Boise State football team continued its upward trajectory in two major polls released on Sunday.

The Broncos climbed three spots in the AP Top 25 to No. 17, and moved up two spots in the Amway Coaches Poll where it is also sitting at No. 17.

Boise State demolished UConn on both sides of the ball Saturday night, racking up a school-record 818 yards in the 62-7 win.

It is notable that in the AP Poll, the Broncos jumped fellow Group of 5 power UCF. Last week the Knights were ranked 19th and the Broncos were 20th.

Also of note: This week's opponent - Oklahoma State - made its first appearance this season in the AP Poll, checking in at No. 24. That will make an already highly-anticipated matchup a must-see game.
