State only #4?  WTF are these guys thinking?  Cincinnati #8?  Give me a break!  

Note, however, 3 Big Ten teams in the top 10, more than any other conference.  Just pointing it out!

texas desereved to be # 2...geez, you had 1 & 2 playing, you loose you don't fall below 2...boise, please.....would have suffered the same fate of cincy vs bama , texas, florida, osu, etc, etc, etc.....

We'll get an idea next year when they play Virginia Tech at Fed-Ex field.

in teams from year-to-year in college football.

They've got almost the whole team back in 2010, plus a new recruiting class.

out west. Other USC or UCLA, reports don't pay attention to the left side of the US.

they lose two defense backs, a backup running back, backup wide receiver and a backup tight end. The quarterback, all other skill players, both sides of the line, linebackers, all come back.

Only beat OU 16-13 without Sam Bradford.  Very weak non-conference schedule.  Would have lost to Texas A&M if they had any defense and would have lost to Nebraska if they had any offense.

saying, Boise State SHOULD DEFINITELY be ranked #1 in the preseason polls.  Unfortunately, they won't be, mainly because of the myopia of the sportswriters and coaches.

held in the MIDDLE of the season as opposed to the preseason.  Having said that, I still much prefer the AP Poll to any of the others.  The coaches poll, to me, is a sham!
