Tournament week! Huge week for multiple teams as SDSU is the only lock for the NCAA tournament while CSU, BSU and USU have a lot on the line in Vegas.
Week 16 AP poll
Final AP poll before the conference tournament. San Diego State is the only MW team ranked and receiving votes as they stay put at 19. One AP voter did vote for the University of San Diego. That’s right, 3-11 USD received a vote for the AP top 25 and one can only hope that voter mistook the Aztecs for the Toreros.
Chase Cord calls it a career
Boise State QB, Chase Cord, is leaving the team. Cord, who has battled countless injuries in his time with the team, finishes his Bronco career with 737 yards and 13 TDs in 12 games.
