Computer rankings determine that Boise State will face UNLV in Mountain West championship game

The computers have made their decision: Boise State will face UNLV in the Mountain West championship game.

The conference announced that the Rebels would host the Broncos on Saturday afternoon for the conference title after invoking computer rankings to decide a three-way tiebreaker. UNLV, Boise State and San Jose State were all tied at 6-2 atop the conference standings after San Jose State beat UNLV and Boise State beat Air Force in the final week of the season.

The Mountain West went to the computer tiebreaker because all three teams didn’t play each other in the regular season.
