Watch out, college football universe. The San Diego State Aztecs and the Boise State Broncos are part of the national conversation.
A week after a season opening 31-0 drubbing of New Hampshire, the Aztecs felled a Pac-12 foe, knocking off the California Golden Bears, 45-40 on Saturday night. Sunday, SDSU received 51 votes in the AP poll, good for 28th, and 27 votes in the USA Today coaches’ poll, 33rd most.
