Virginia Tech 10. Oklahoma 11. Oregon 12. TCU 13. Georgia Tech 14. Iowa (Did the NY Post watch the Orange Bowl?) 15. Oregon State 16. Auburn 17. Utah 18. Connecticut (Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.) 19. Arizona 20. Notre Dame (Bushmills. Tap-dancing. Foxtrot.) 21. USC 22. Florida State 23. Cincinnati 24. Penn State 25. Houston Quote Link to comment

Everything else look. Top 4 or 5 for NU is nice. Quote Link to comment
Nomaha Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Boise as #1 Just don't know about that... kinda says it all about this poll for me Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Boise as #1 Just don't know about that... kinda says it all about this poll for me Exactly. Boise State is a good program, but they are not going to be deserving of a number one ranking or a shot at a MNC over ANY undefeated or one loss Big 12/SEC/Big 10 school. It just isn't right. Playing one or two good teams each year doesn't cut it for me. The level of competition they face is significantly weaker than any of the power conferences. I think it's great that VaTech and BSU are playing early in the season, but then again it's also the beginning of the season. Anything can happen and I think the victor of that game shouldn't be taken overly seriously. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Most polls have Boise ten spots too high. This poll has them 13 spots too high. But it created a buzz, didn't it? Quote Link to comment
adram16 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 As a person who went to college in NYC from 2004-2008, you shouldn't take stock in this poll. They don't care about college football back there, all they give a hoot about is the Jets and Giants as far as football is concerned. They all have hard-ons for ND bc so many grads live there and want to pander to them. Quote Link to comment

I sent a letter to the editor of the paper about how garbage the college football section was. In the article they had about Boise State on the 29th, it said "#2 Alabama" and "#3 Ohio State" in the text of the article. Those guys are retarded. Using their own poll as a reference? The article was also confused about what a BCS team is. Quote Link to comment

Anything can happen and I think the victor of that game shouldn't be taken overly seriously. The whole idea of placing Boise State anywhere in the top 15 is crazy. The ranking is supposed to be the ranking of the best teams in the country. If Boise State played the pre-season top 25 for an ESPN or FSN, they win 7 games tops. This guy is saying that Boise has a better team than Alabama, Ohio State, Florida, or Texas? Those teams would murder them. Quote Link to comment
walksalone Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Boise #1? Think about this. Would they really be ranked this high if they weren't in a division like the WAC? Would they be the 3rd best team in the SEC? What about the Big XII??? But, to my original point. Manhattan does suck. It sucks to drive in, it suck to try to find parking in, it sucks to pay 8 bucks worth in tolls to get in to. Not too mention it smells like a bag full of a$$holes.... Quote Link to comment
