Boise State was set to play Utah in Boise in 2011 , with games in 2012 and 2013 also scheduled . However , due to their move to the Pac-12 , where they will play nine conference games , and their desire to continue their rivalry with former conference member and newly independent BYU , Utah bought their way out of the series . Boise State replaced Utah with Fresno State and Nevada as both schools were also looking for another game due to having one less conference game due to Boise State 's departure from the WAC . Fresno State and Nevada will become conference games again in 2012 as they will join the Mountain West
