They also rank second in fewest turnovers, committing only four in eight games. Defensively, Boise State leads the nation in sacks per game, averaging 4.75. The unit averages 8.4 tackles for loss per game, ranking fourth in the nation.

Boise State totaled 853 points in the AP Poll and 615 in the Coaches Poll. Last week, the Broncos had 619 points in the AP Poll and 459 in the Coaches Poll. On Tuesday, the first edition of the 2024 College Football Playoff rankings will be released.

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.
