Boise State Climbs to No. 18 After 64-Point Win

Boise State surged to No. 18 in the Week 10 Coaches Poll, released November 8, after a 64-38 road win over Colorado State the previous day. The Broncos improved to 8-1 overall and 5-0 in conference play, extending their winning streak to eight games after opening the season with a loss to Oregon. Colorado State fell to 3-6.

Boise State’s 64 points were a season high. The team amassed 669 yards of offense and averaged 10.6 yards per play. Running back Dylan Riley totaled 300 yards from scrimmage and scored three touchdowns, while backup quarterback Max Cutforth threw for 317 yards and accounted for five touchdowns.

Coach Spencer Danielson said he expects starting quarterback Maddux Madsen to return for the November 14 contest with Oregon State. ESPN plans to bring its College GameDay program to town for that matchup. New Mexico, also 8-1 and 5-0, held No. 25 for a second week. Boise State and New Mexico are the two highest-ranked Group of Six teams, with the highest-ranked team in the final College Football Playoff standings earning an automatic place in the 12-team playoff.

Georgia moved into first place in the poll, ahead of Utah, Notre Dame, UCLA and Indiana. Oregon re-entered at No. 19 after beating Ohio State 41-28 on the road; Ohio State dropped to No. 20.
