The latest College Football Poll is out and there were plenty of changes at the top and also at the bottom. At the top there is Florida State who dropped from three to four and TCU hopped over the Seminoles. The part of the poll that is of more interest is the other end which has Boise State at No. 22, which is up one spot.
With Marshall losing this past weekend to Western Kentucky, Boise State is just one win away from going to a big money bowl game on New Year's Day; all that is in the way is a home game against Fresno State in the Mountain West title game.
Boise State will then get to play a big time opponent in most likely the Fiesta Bowl, maybe the Cotton Bowl, and the opponents are likely to be either Arizona, Ohio State or Wisconsin.
