It seemed far away last month when the Boise State football team was 3-2, and unlikely even last week when the Broncos were underdogs for the first time in more than decade.
But believe it — Boise State is ranked once again.
The Broncos are No. 23 in the latest Associated Press Top 25 poll and No. 24 in the USA Today coaches’ poll, both released Sunday. The big leap was thanks to the big 24-17 win Friday over then-AP No. 16 Fresno State, the Broncos’ fifth straight victory.
“We had a really good win, we got some momentum and we want to carry it into this week,” Boise State coach Bryan Harsin said.
