The latest Week 11 AP poll is out and just as the USA TODAY coaches poll, Utah State and Frenso State move up, plus San Diego State and Boise State are earning votes.
For the Aggies, its victory over Hawaii put them at No. 14 in the AP poll and that is its highest ranking since they finished the 1961 season at No. 10
The Bulldogs get some poll credit for thumping UNLV, 48-3, by moving up four spots to 16th.
These rankings are more in line where the Mountain West should be ranked and particularly in relation to UCF which dropped two spots after it held off Temple in a shootout. The Knights are now ranked 11th in the AP poll.
Boise State and San Diego State are getting consideration to be ranked and are in the others receiving vote category. This sets up a big game on Friday night as the Broncos take on the Bulldogs in a key game for the conference race and also a chance to get a third team ranked if Boise State pulls off the upset.
