Where are the Mountain West teams?
The latest coaches and Associated Press polls are out and after two games in the Mountain West, there is a little bit more respect for the league this week.
In the USA TODAY coaches poll, Boise State enters the ranking at No. 23 and the other Mountain West teams to earn votes are Nevada with three and San Diego State with one.
The AP poll has the Broncos moving up four sports to 21 after its win over Air Force and San Diego State improved with eight total votes.
One team to keep an eye is Cincinnati as they have raised up to six in both the coaches an AP poll. Now, these polls do not reflect the College Football Playoff and how they will rank teams but it is still interesting to see them this high despite playing one decent team in Memphis.
