The conference lands three.

The Fresno State Bulldogs clinched their second straight West division on Saturday night, while the Utah State Aggies and Boise State Broncos have set up a winner-take-all showdown for the Mountain division title next weekend. In the meantime, all three are getting their due in the weekly coaches poll.

Utah State’s wild 29-24 win at Colorado State wasn’t enough to keep the Aggies from dropping two spots to #15, while Boise State’s 45-14 victory at New Mexico helped them rise two spots to #22.

Fresno State, which fell out of the top 25 following their loss to the Broncos last Friday night, jumped right back in with a 23-13 win over San Diego State, moving from #27 overall to #23.

As in past weeks, though, all three are looking up at UCF. The Knights defeated Cincinnati, who had been ranked #20, 38-13, and moved up to #9. Additionally, UAB dropped out of the poll after debuting at #25 last week, following a 41-20 loss at Texas A&M.

The only other Power 5 team in this week’s Top 25 is a familiar one. Army, having already beaten Air Force and Hawaii en route to a 9-2 record, debuted at #24 after defeated previously unbeaten Colgate, who just scored the #8 seed in the FCS playoffs.
