Air Force football nationally ranked for first time since 2019

Air Force is ranked 22nd in both the AFCA Coaches Poll and the Associated Press poll, released today by both organizations. The Falcons are ranked for the first time since the final season poll in 2019 when the team was 22nd in the AP poll and 23rd in the coaches poll.

The regular season ranking is the first since Oct. 3, 2010, when Air Force was ranked 25th in the AP poll. The ranking in both polls in the regular season is the first since Oct. 10, 2010, when the Falcons were 23rd in each poll. Air Force has been receiving votes in the AFCA Coaches poll since the beginning of the season and in the AP poll the previous two weeks.

Air Force is 6-0 overall, its best start since 2002 when the team opened 6-0. The Falcons are 4-0 in the Mountain West for the first time in program history. Air Force has won 11 straight games dating back to last season which is the fourth-longest active streak in the nation and second-longest streak in program history. The Falcons are 37-8 over the last four full seasons, excluding the COVID-shortened 2020 season. The program is bowl eligible for the 14th time in 17 seasons under Head Coach Troy Calhoun.

The Falcons defeated Wyoming, who was receiving votes in both polls last week, 34-27, in Falcon Stadium last night. Air Force is 4-0 at home this season.
