Boise State was ranked No. 25 in the College Football Playoff rankings released Tuesday, the Broncos’ first time in the CFP this season.
Other Group of Five schools ahead of Boise State are No. 11 UCF, No. 23 Utah State and No. 24 Cincinnati. UCF and Cincinnati play Saturday, while the Broncos host Utah State on Nov. 24. The top ranked Group of Five team that wins its conference will earn a berth to a New Year’s Six bowl.
The Broncos, who play at New Mexico on Friday, have appeared in the College Football Playoff rankings at least once every season since the CFP began in 2014.
