4. Ohio State (1-0) Beat Marshall 45-7. The Buckeyes looked more than solid against a week MAC opponent.

Marshall is in Conference USA.

Boise State still has a few quality opponents on their schedule, including Oregon State on the 25th.

Load of crap.

Half the other teams in the nation had a victory last week. Why put boise up there?

Many of the teams Boise is above will have 6-8 big games this year and will have to win them all to have a shot. Why is it that Boise wins one big game and suddenly they’re worthy of a shot?

Boise is good for sure - but how good? We’ll not know unless they play 6-8 of their games in the same environment - like the pac10, ACC, SEC or even Big “12” and Big “10”.

One big game victory and that’s it? How about Georgia - they have an SEC schedule FULL of big games against quality opponents - not just one. How about Florida? Georgia Tech? LSU? Alabama? Texas? FSU? Hell the list goes on. Those teams all have half a dozen big games they’ll have to win to have a shot. Boise? Just one - an argument can be made for two - but it’s still just two. BS.

It is bs to put a one-game winner at #1. Oregon is a future opponent but that’s pretty much it for opposition.

BS

Boise had 17 points GIVEN to them on freak turnovers by the a lower ranked team and that qualifies them to be #1...????

They may play ONE MORE ranked them the entire year...they play in a weak sister conference...they would NOT survive an SEC or PAC-10 conference schedule.

#9 and # 10 should be reversed.

Florida shouldn’t even be in the Top 20, pains me to say.
