I'd take UGA & LSU over them as well, maybe even ARK and AU.

Same here. I've never been sold on these mid-major teams.

Boise's '09 schedule

H Oregon
H Miami OH

Bowl Game TCU

They play one good team at the beginning of the year. The rest of the schedule are cupcakes and then they finish off there bowl game with a mid-major. Nothing about there schedule and wins convince me they are a top 10 team, same for TCU. If they played a schedule like ours

vs Tennessee-Martin
vs Oregon
vs Florida
vs Alabama-Birmingham
@ LSU
@ Georgia
vs Alabama
@ South Carolina
@ Memphis
vs Mississippi
@ Vanderbilt
vs Kentucky

or any other team in the SEC and still win 10 or 11 games a year then I would be convinced.
