BOISE, Idaho – Following Boise State’s thrilling 29-24 win at UNLV last Friday, the Associated Press ranked the Broncos at No. 15 this week while the US LBM Coaches Poll kept Boise State at No. 19.
Boise State has the nation’s third-best scoring offense (44.3 ppg) and fourth-best total offense (504.6 ypg) to compile a 6-1 (3-0 MW) record this season. The only demerit on the slate so far was a 37-34 decision at then-No. 7/6 and now No. 1/1 Oregon as the Ducks hit a field goal as time expired to escape the Bronco threat.
The Broncos leads the nation in sacks (5.00 spg). The Broncos have two games with eight sacks and registered six sacks at UNLV.
Boise State already holds the distinction of the nation’s best record while ranked in the AP Top 25 poll. Following last week’s win, the Blue and Orange are now 117-21 (.848) while ranked by the AP, the best record of any team over the past 40 years.
The Broncos added 46 points in the AP poll this week to total 619 points, while receiving 459 points in the Coaches Poll, up 100 from last week.
Boise State returns home on Friday evening to host San Diego State (3-4, 2-0 MW) in a sold out contest as two of the Mountain West’s three remaining undefeated programs in league play square off. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. MT with the game televised on FS1.

Led by Spencer Danielson in his first full season, Boise State looks to become the first Mountain West program to win back-to-back championships since San Diego State did so in 2015-16. Achieving such a feat will put Boise State in the discussion for the new, expanded, 12-team College Football Playoff format beginning this fall. Last year, Danielson became the first coach in college football history to win a conference championship with an interim title.
