The Broncos are now the top-ranked Group of Five team in both polls. The highest ranked conference champion from the Group of Five gets an automatic bid to one of the prestigious New Years Six bowl games.

Boise State (5-1, 2-0 MWC) climbed back into both polls last week. They started the season ranked, but fell out after the loss to BYU in Week 2.

The Broncos travel to Logan, Utah on Friday to face Utah State (3-2, 2-0 MWC).
