Boise State Shocks America as #4 in Football Playoff Rankings

It's football time in the Treasure Valley--local high schools are battling it out for state titles and on The Blue, Boise State is keeping that turf warm for Post Malone--by winning. Over and over again.

With a top ranked Heisman candidate in Ashton Jeanty and the wins stacking up, it almost feels as though the Broncos can do no wrong.

Each week, the rankings that really matter for the College Football Playoff are released and Bronco fans here in Boise and beyond are about to be really excited with the latest.

Take a look at how Boise State is being ranked in the first-ever College Football Ranking bracket! 

This placement is absolutely amazing for the Broncos!

What does this all mean? Well, it means that the 'committee' that is seeding these teams is really fond of the Broncos. If the season were to end today--they'd be sitting pretty with a BYE into round two of the college football playoff.

Major programs like Notre Dame, Alabama, and Ohio State would need to win FOUR games to be National Champions.

Boise State? Just three.

That can make a world of difference late into the season when lots of teams are seeing injuries and fatigue. That also gives Boise State a shot at playing in the Fiesta Bowl. Are we coming full circle?
