falls, look at this path to #1 for the Broncos in comparison to SEC schedules:

9/06 vs. Virginia Tech
9/18 @ Wyoming 8:00 PM
9/25 Oregon State TBA
10/02 @ New Mexico State TBA
10/09 Toledo TBA
10/16 @ San Jose State TBA
10/26 Louisiana Tech ESPN360.com 8:00 PM
11/06 Hawaii TBA
11/12 @ Idaho ESPN360.com 9:00 PM
11/19 Fresno State ESPN360.com 9:30 PM
11/26 @ Nevada ESPN360.com 10:15 PM
12/04 Utah State

Then again they may very well lose their opener against Va Tech and drop out of the top 10.

Yeah they'll lose to VT.. fall pretty far (especially if VT really takes it to them) BSU will probably run the schedule and work their way back into the top 15 but lose that 1st game and they can kiss their BCS hopes goodbye. After that they'll just be taking up space in the top 25.

That away schedule is full of landmines. At Wyoming, New Mexico State, San Jose State, Idaho, and Nevada. Boise will be a strong team if they can go undefeated on the road as well at home because they end against Utah State.

I have a problem. They should be ranked about 10th and then we'll see how they perform. If they end up going undefeated, I would still probably only have them as high as maybe 7th, depending on other teams. It is an absolute travesty that they get away with what they do every year.

Unlike a lot of teams Boise very well could fall in the rankings without losing games

They will have an easier time running the table and finishing top five but may have a harder time earning a #1 or #2 ranking than many BCS teams

They won't be number one or two in the first BCS rankings regardless of what happens to Alabama.

A more interseting question is...

What will the top of the polls look like if Bama only beats San Jose State by 28, and Boise beats San Jose State by 45, and both are undefeated throught the end of October?

I doubt that the pollsters would flip the teams based only on common opponent results, but...?

I have a BIG problem with it.

If they were in the SEC they would be a middle tier team.

Bama and Florida would kill Boise St. I honestly dont think they could beat Auburn, LSU, Arkansas, or Georgia either.
