Even if Boise State were too jump up to number 1 or 2, once other teams start racking up wins while Boise is putting up 75 on Idaho those teams will leapfrog Boise. People complain about preseason polls, but the voters aren't completely stupid enough to overlook certain performances, and allow there to be some moving around. Just look at this week, with Florida taking a drop despite winning by 22. But this all doesn't matter, cuz the Beavers are gonna win in Boise.
I just hope the Gators get their shit together before they have to go into Alabama on the 2nd. Last week was an embarrassment.
Plus USF, Tennessee and Kentucky aren't exactly crappy 1-11 MAC schools like Miami OH is. Florida plays the way they did Saturday against any of those other schools and they might not be as lucky.

florida dropped because they played like shit...against a cupcake...if they play all year like they did saturday..they will drop out of the top 10..big plays is the only reason they won...but i agree..oregon could slip in there and tan some asses...ask usc
i'd love to see Boise State in conference like the SEC, Big10 or PAC 10. given how well they recurit i think they'd be competitive every year. Florida is under immense pressure to win and so when they play badly it's big news.
Care to go again this week? I'll even let you pick the 4 games again. If not I'll understand. It's got to be hard to recover from a whuppin like that :anonymous
Been busy these past couple of days. I hope these picks aren't coming in too late your highness...so here goes.
THEU versus Baill's Bunch == seeing as I have OSU in the national championship game, I suppose you think I'll take the Luckeyes automatically...huh, NOT SO FAST MY FRIEND........Baill's meanness to my Boise State Broncos has forced me to shift allegiances to THE U :bowdown:
The U -- 21
Baill's Bunch--20
I think Miami's offense is better, but Ohio State's defense is better. SC only put up 18 in the Shoe. I think Miami can get 21 for the win.
Florida State Versus Boomer Sooner
Boomer Sooner's almost meltdown last week to UsnoreState has me rethinking this one, too. Even if Boomer Sooner was looking ahead and hearin' those drums and horns from Tally a week early...
it's hard to look past givin' up 300+ in the air against UsnoreState. I gotsta think Christian Ponder and the 'Noles will air it out and come away with a win here, too.
FloridaState 33 Boomer Sooner 27
I can't really go with your Quak Attak versus Tenn or Bama versus Penn State because I think these games are going to be lopsided wins for Oregon and Bama. But there is some meat in the SEC this week that's worth lookin' at closer.
Georgia versus South Carolina has slobberknocker special sauce written all over it. It's a coin flipper in my book this season even though the Dawgs have treated South Carolina like Tiger Woods at the Bunny Ranch 7 out of the previous 8 years.
I'm going with a mild shocker here
The fake wannabe USC 14
Sweet Georgia Brown in the Pants 10
Not many highlights in this one. Although there may be quite a few busty coed shots :rubbel: to keep the ratings ~up~ for this one
I really can't in good faith put ucla vs the fightin' harbaughs as our final contest. So...we're gonna reach back into hallowed antiquity for our 4th game. We're going for the GranPappy Grudge Bowl..:yesyes:
The Fightin' Durk Clan from notre doom versus Miiiichimeeega
This one used to bring a twinkle in the eye and a boner in the pants of every hot-blooded male in the entire nation from 1947 - 1987...but these past 20 or so years...the lustre has fallen off a bit. I see a coin-flipper nail biter game. I think the irish are better, but miiiiichimeeega needs this one badly.
The Durky Clan 28 Miiiichimeega 30
I really, really, really want to take South Florida over the Florida Softies in the Swamp...I don't think the gators will have their offense figured out in a week. South Florida is supposedly a defensive team, but my low opinion of the Big East thus far keeps me away from this game as my Upset Shocker Pick of the Week.
My blowout of the day special...
