Jeremy and Matt are back to recap the Mountain West football title game which saw Boise State defeat Hawaii 31-10. That three touchdown difference was a bit closer than the score indicated. The Warriors were a bit more aggressive and it cost them a few times when they were in the red zone. Plus, points off of turnovers did not help the Warriors either.  We also get into the bowl game selections wh...

Jeremy goes solo to recap the final week of the Mountain West regular-season which did not have much on the line except for Boise State who needed a win to remain in the hunt for a New Year's Six bowl game. There were games where coaches were in their last game and no team had a chance to earn a bowl bid as there were no teams that could not get to six wins. The big story of the weekend was the fi...

Jeremy and Raj are back to talk about the latest College Football Playoff rankings which if we are being honest do not matter all that much as Boise State is still behind both Memphis and Cincy. What it really comes down to is the Broncos need a two-loss AAC team to win the title, or if we dig a bit deeper a one-loss SMU team as they are a few spots behind Boise State. We run through the scenarios...

The Broncos did move up one spot to No. 21 and are still behind Memphis and Cincinnati.
