Boise State defense continues to produce

Saturday was the fifth straight game that Boise State has shut out its opponent in the first half and the only points allowed was a fumble recovery.

They weren't able to crack the top 20 as we'd hoped, but they at least moved up a spot. Michigan, however, popped into the top 25 at no. 22 right behind Boise State and Wisconsin is in at no. 25. The Big Ten won't go down easy.
