The latest polls are out after a long weekend and the Mountain West not faring well against FBS competition. Boise State and San Diego State losing to their respective schools did not allow them to get any more votes in the AP or coaches poll.
Fresno State, Air Force and Utah State did all receive votes in both polls. The Bulldogs and Falcons easily took care of their FCS foes, but the Aggies blowout loss to No. 1 Alabama only gave Utah State a slight ding.
Fresno State and Air Force has an outside shot of being ranked after Week 2 as they both play Power 5 teams. The Bulldogs have the better odds as they take on Oregon State who received votes, while the Falcons take on the hapless Colorado Buffaloes.
