Wyoming and Hawaii getting some votes.
There is still just one Mountain West team that is ranked in the latest AP and USA TODAY’s coaches poll as they move up to No. 22 after getting a close 14-7 win overall Marshall.
The Broncos moved up two spots in each poll due to their win and others dropping games as well. With a narrow win, it is somewhat surprising that Boise State moved up with that seven-point win.
But defense.
2-0 Wyoming and Hawaii are both earning votes in the coaches poll but it will take a few more weeks to get ranked if both keep winning. The Cowboys earned three votes and the Warriors picked up seven.
