That win, coupled with a few other ranked teams losing, put the Broncos at the 20th spot in the rankings and the second-highest ranked Group of Five team and are one spot behind UCF which is at 19.
Hawaii is off to a blazing 2-0 start and they earned three votes and Fresno State’s utter crushing over Idaho by scoring 79 in the win earn a single 25th place vote.
