The then-ranked No. 2 Oregon Ducks survived an early-season upset scare against the Boise State Broncos for the second time in three seasons, and Oregon fell to No. 6 in the AP Top 25 Poll as a result.Boise State received the third-most votes of any team ranked outside the preseason top 25, and the Broncos put up a fight against the Ducks despite entering the game as 24.5-point underdogs, per DraftKings Sportsbook. Boise State is unlikely to jump into the top 25 as an 0-1 team, but the Broncos could find themselves ranked in the AP Poll by the season's end.
