The Mountain West is no longer represented in the top 25 polls, and it was Boise State's loss to BYU knocked them out of the rankings. The Broncos are still receiving votes and are second among Group of Five teams and behind Temple.
No other Mountain West teams are receiving votes, and that is understandable after the bad weekend the conference took this week by losing all of the non-conference games. Boise State's schedule does not have any big name opponents on the upcoming schedule so shear wins is what Boise State will need to earn a spot back in the top 25.
