College Football Rankings 2016: Projected AP Top 25 after Week 11
By Zach Bigalke
The Broncos should jump a few spots up the AP Top 25 this week after they pummeled Hawaii on the road Saturday afternoon. Jeremy McNichols had a field day on the ground, with 182 total yards and two rushing touchdowns. Brett Rypien was efficient through the air, completing all but four attempts for 338 yards and four scores. And the Boise State defense proved itself superior to the Rainbow Warriors offense all game long, holding the hosts to just 125 passing yards and forcing them to be one-dimensional on the ground.
Boise State isn’t completely in the clear despite Wyoming’s loss on Saturday. Though they are in a three-way tie with the Cowboys and New Mexico, the Broncos still need Craig Bohl’s team to lose again to claim the spot in the Mountain West championship game. They hold the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Lobos, though, so as long as Bryan Harsin’s crew win out against UNLV and Air Force they will be in the mix to play San Diego State in early December for the conference title.
