For the first time since 2000 the Western Michigan Broncos are receiving 6 votes in the Associated Press Top 25 poll to go along with 5 votes in the USA Today Poll.
Effectively ranking the Broncos 31st and 40th respectively. The votes come on the heels of a 23-17 upset win over Illinois Saturday at Ford Field. WMU Wide Receiver Jamarko Simmons took over the game finishing with 11 catches for 174 yards outplaying Illinois star receiver Arrellious Benn. Simmons says he was proud to be a Bronco Saturday…

Simmons was helped by a solid performance from Tim Hiller who finished 28-for-40 for 301 yards and 2 touchdowns. Head Coach Bill Cubit says this team showed some real character Saturday afternoon.
The win improves the Broncos to 8-2 on the season. 2-7 Toledo is up next Saturday at Waldo Stadium. A win over Toledo should guarantee a bowl berth while also setting up a showdown for the ages in the MAC when the Broncos could head to Muncie, Indiana November 25th against an undefeated Ball State team.
Toledo is up first Saturday with kickoff set for 2PM.
