The Boise State Broncos covered the spread this past week against the college football odds at the sports betting website and they have moved up to #3 in the AP poll.
Boise is heavily favored on Friday at sports betting companies and they host Fresno State. Boise is trying to stay in position to play in the BCS title game but they still neither either Auburn or Oregon to lose.
Can Boise Play for the Title?
The Broncos definitely need some help but they got a little this past week when TCU struggled to beat San Diego State. The struggles of the Horned Frogs helped Boise move past TCU in the AP poll. They are likely going to still trail TCU in the BCS standings but Boise has a tougher remaining schedule as they still have to play Fresno State and Nevada while the Horned Frogs just have New Mexico remaining.
Oregon and Auburn First and Second
The Ducks remained number one in the AP poll although Auburn gained some ground at #2. The Ducks struggled to get past California and didn’t cover the spread at Sbg global while Auburn took care of Georgia. Auburn picked up 10 first place votes this week. LSU remained at #5 and they are also within striking range. The rest of the top 10 didn’t really change. Wisconsin is #6 and they were very impressive scoring 83 points in an easy win against the odds at the sports betting website and they are followed by Stanford, Ohio State, Nebraska and Alabama. Michigan State didn’t play last week and dropped to #11. Oklahoma State is at #12 and they are followed by Arkansas, Virginia Tech and Missouri. The rest of the top 20 has Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas A&M, Nevada and USC. The final five in the top 25 are Iowa, Mississippi State, Arizona, Miami of Florida and Utah.
Remaining Schedules
Oregon still has a couple of tricky games remaining against Arizona and at Oregon State. Auburn still has to play Alabama and then they face South Carolina in the SEC title game. TCU has nothing left of consequence as they play New Mexico while Boise State has Fresno and Nevada remaining. Anything is still possible with all four of the top four teams in the mix for the BCS title.
