Despite the Boise State football team’s losses on both sides of the ball coming into the 2017 season, the Broncos again are considered one of the front-runners for a New Years Six bowl berth.
ESPN’s Mark Schlabach wrote up his post-spring top 25 on Monday, and he has the Broncos ranked No. 24. The only Group of Five school he has higher is South Florida, from the American Athletic Conference, at No. 19.
“The Broncos figure to be the best team from a Group of Five conference, especially with quarterback Brett Rypien entering his third season as a starter,” Schlabach wrote.
