Boise State’s 16-game home winning streak came to an end on Saturday with a 30-7 loss to Mountain West rival Fresno State at Albertsons Stadium.

The Broncos (6-3, 4-1) lost starting quarterback Maddux Madsen to a lower leg injury and were held to 193 yards of total offense with three turnovers by the Bulldogs (6-3, 3-2).

After the poor showing at home, Boise State received no votes in the Week 11 edition of the AP poll, which was released on Sunday. The Broncos earned four votes in the Week 9 poll but had zero votes last week after a hard-fought win over lowly Nevada (1-7, 0-4). 

San Diego State (7-1, 4-0) was the only MWC team to receive votes in the Week 11 AP poll. The Aztecs got 30 votes after taking down Wyoming (4-5, 2-3) at home, 24-7, for their sixth straight win.

Memphis of the American Conference was the lone Group of Five team to crack the top 25 of the Week 11 AP poll, checking in at No. 22.

Fellow American members North Texas (27) and South Florida (23) also received votes, as did James Madison (53) of the Sun Belt.
