If you've wondered whether the Broncos are in the playoff mix, the committee just weighed in. Boise State debuted at No. 25 Tuesday, and it's the only Group of Six team on the list. That slots the Broncos into the 12-team bracket as the highest-ranked G6 team, and as the 12th seed in the committee's mock bracket.
If the Broncos win their last four regular-season games and the Pac-12 championship game, they'd be 12-1 and in a strong spot for their second CFP in three years. That's easier said than done, and Oregon State's visit could decide where the title game is played.
- Oregon State win: head-to-head edge, title game likely in Corvallis
- Boise State win: title game would likely be in Boise
- Flex game: road date, opponent named after Week 12
Three opponents are set for Boise State's final stretch
| Opponent | What to know |
|---|---|
| Colorado State (3-5, 1-3 Pac-12) | Allows an FBS-worst 42.4 points a game |
| Oregon State (5-3) | Could decide Pac-12 title game host |
| San Diego State (4-5, 3-2 Pac-12) | Beat Boise State 17-7 last year |
