It is amazing what one win can do — Boise State’s 24-17 win over then-AP No. 16 Fresno State last Friday sure made the Broncos’ bowl picture a lot more rosy.
The Broncos are 20-poin favorites for Friday’s game at New Mexico, and if they win, will set up a de facto Mountain Division championship game Nov. 24 against Utah State at Albertsons Stadium.
Not only might a Mountain West championship appearance be within grasp, but that New Year’s Six bowl berth for the Group of Five is still very much alive. UCF and Cincinnati play Saturday, both are in the same division of the American.
