Boise State receives minimal respect in Week 10 Coaches poll

After a sensational defensive performance on Friday at Nevada, Boise State continued to receive some tepid support in the Week 10 edition of the Coaches Poll.

The Broncos (6-2, 4-0), who created five takeaways in a 24-3 road win over Nevada (1-7, 0-4), earned one vote in the latest Coaches poll, which was released on Sunday.

Boise State checked in at No. 25 in the preseason Coaches poll but dropped out following a blowout road loss at South Florida. The Broncos did not receive a vote for seven weeks but earned two in the Week 9 poll after hammering previously undefeated UNLV, 56-31.

San Diego State (6-1, 3-0) led the way in the Coaches poll among MWC teams with 14 votes. The Aztecs shut out Fresno State on Saturday, 23-0, for their fifth consecutive victory.

UNLV (6-1, 2-1) earned six votes in the Week 10 Coaches poll. The Rebels will host New Mexico next Saturday coming off a bye week.

Two Group of Five teams were represented in the top 25: No. 23 Navy and No. 25 Memphis of the American Conference. The Midshipmen (7-0) survived a 42-32 shootout with Florida Atlantic on Saturday while Memphis (7-1) stormed back to defeat South Florida, 34-31.

The Bulls, who were ranked No. 20 last week, dropped out of the Week 10 poll.

Three American members were among the others receiving votes: Tulane (65), South Florida (24) and North Texas (11). Sun Belt favorite James Madison got 18 votes.

The five highest-ranked conference champions in the final College Football Playoff rankings receive automatic bids to the 12-team playoff.
