Boise State in Mountain West Championship, Playoff Debate

Boise State secured a spot in the Mountain West Championship after defeating Wyoming, maintaining their undefeated record in the conference and climbing to No. 11 in the AP Poll. The Broncos face Oregon State next, with a strong performance needed to impress the College Football Playoff committee and secure a potential first-round bye. Meanwhile, Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark is advocating for his conference's champion to receive a first-round bye, citing a stronger strength-of-schedule compared to Boise State. The debate continues as the College Football Playoff rankings are set to be updated, determining whether Boise State or a Big 12 team will gain an advantageous position.
