The Colorado State Rams improved to 6-1 on the year after getting a big Mountain West win, 16-13, over Mountain foe Utah State. When it comes to the national polls, the Rams are sill left outside the top 25. In the USA TODAY Coaches polls, Colorado State earned more points this week to have a grand total of 18, and that places them at 30.
However, the No. 25 team is West Virginia and they have 143 points, so the Rams have a long way to go to possibly be ranked, and its schedule does not have any heavy hitters the rest of the way. So, all Colorado State can do is keep winning and hope that is enough to be ranked sometime during the season.
