San Diego – The San Diego State Aztecs are currently receiving votes in both the Associated Press and Coaches Polls after a convincing 44-10 victory over the Nevada Wolf Pack. The Aztecs are tied for 32nd in the AP poll with Tulane, each receiving two points. In the Coaches Poll, they are tied with TCU and Pittsburgh, each having one point. Notably, SDSU was ranked No. 24 by Keith Farmer from WLEX-TV in Kentucky.
In their recent game against Nevada, the Aztecs scored touchdowns in all three phases: special teams, defense, and offense. SDSU surged to a commanding 21-0 lead just one play into the second quarter, establishing their dominance early in the match. With this victory, the Aztecs improve their record to 5-1, marking two wins more than their previous season’s total. They are now just one win away from achieving bowl eligibility for the first time since 2022 and are currently tied for the top spot in the Mountain West Conference with an undefeated record of 2-0.
Regarding other Mountain West teams, UNLV is the only other team receiving votes, sitting with 30 points in the AP poll and 43 points in the Coaches Poll. Boise State, previously ranked No. 25 in the AP’s preseason poll, has fallen out of the rankings after suffering a loss to South Florida.
The Aztecs will have a two-week preparation period before their next game against Fresno State on October 25. In their most recent matchup, Fresno State lost to Colorado State, trailing 49-21. Following the confrontation with Fresno State, SDSU will host Wyoming, travel to Hawaii, and host Boise State and San Jose State, concluding their season at New Mexico. It is worth noting that the Aztecs did not play against UNLV this season.
Historically, the last time the Aztecs were ranked in the AP Top 25 was in 2021, where they maintained their rank for a total of seven weeks, achieving a peak ranking of No. 19. They concluded the 2021 season with a school-best record of 12-2. Beyond 2021, the Aztecs have also been ranked during the 2016, 2017, and 2019 seasons, underscoring a history of competitive performance.
As the Aztecs continue their season, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see if they can secure the necessary wins to earn a spot in a bowl game and potentially re-enter the national rankings, solidifying their position within college football’s landscape.
