Boise State's odds for making it to the College Football Playoff according to ESPN

ESPN seems to think there's a decent chance that Boise State can make it to the College Football Playoffs this year and shared their insight on what could be big in making this happen. For starters they ranked Boise as #28 on the list of schools to make it to the College Football Playoffs with an 11% chance to make it. These aren't bad odds at all and considering Boise State's already made it once we think they can definitely do it again.

They're gonna have to perform well this year and that included the first game of the year against University of Oregon. Considering University of Oregon is a great school a win for Boise State could be huge in determining what schools deserve to make it to the College Football Playoffs this season.
