The latest USA Today coaches poll is out and Boise State moved up three spots to be No. 22 after they took care of Southern Miss on the road. Not to jump to far ahead, but at the moment there are zero Big Ten teams in coaches poll -- Ohio State is on probation and not eligible.
Which means if Boise State keeps winning there is a shot that they could make it to a BCS game if they get into the top 16 and stay ahead of a Big Ten champ.
What could help is that Nevada received votes this week, and if they keep winning then that end of season showdown could give a boost to Boise State's ranking if they can defeat Nevada.
