It may be a little late to create this, but college football season is well under way. I think I'll start by adding the Ap top 25, then some discussion about games perhaps?
Ap top 25 (week 7)
1. Oregon 2. Boise State 3. Oklahoma 4. TCU 5. Auburn 6. LSU 7. Alabama 8. Michigan State 9. Utah 10. Wisconsin 11. Ohio State 12. Stanford 13. Iowa 14. Nebraska 15. Arizona 16. Florida State 17. Oklahoma State 18. Missouri 19. South Carolina 20. West Virginia 21. Arkansas 22. Texas 23. Virginia Tech 24. Mississippi State 25. Miami (Florida)
As for games this week, their were several upsets. The biggest was Wisconsin defeating Ohio State . Also, kentucky defeated South Carolina, and Texas defeated Nebraska. there were also just wild games out there, like Auburn vs. Arkansas, which had the highest number of points scored in a single SEC game. Overall a crazy week in college football. Stay tuned for the first BCS standings of the season.
Boise State has such a weak schedule because they are in the mountain west conference. Only Nevada and Air Force were ranked from this conference beside Boise State, but they did not make it farther than 19th before losing again.
I agree with vinster. Boise State is an incredibly talented football team, but they don't have a very difficult schedule. I could see them winning a National Championship though. Kellen Moore is a great player, probably in the top 5 for college QB's, up there with Denard Robinson (duh) and Terrelle Pryor, and Jake Locker, and then some other, (don't really follow NCAAF enough to know a lot of the QB's).
And now the first BCS standings of the year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Personally, I'm surprised that kansas State is ranked, considering they had not been ranked in any Ap pole earlier. we'll see how these standings play out throughout the rest of the year.

And yet, they murdered Kansas. Like the other day I think...
It's just that Kansas State has not be ranked all year, and I don't think that anybody has really talked about them either. As for the rest of the teams, I think some, like Boise State and Utah (who have absolutely murdered every team they've taken on so far) are underrated, while others, like LSU are overrated. I think that about LSU because of the two games that they won at the last minute against Tennessee and Florida.
Exactly the reason that LSU is overrated, they just barely won the last two major games. The BCS really needs to incorporate margin of victory into their formula.
Some very sad news from this weekend. Rutgers' defensive tackle Eric LeGrand was paralyzed from the neck down after making a tackle in a game against Army. i really hope that he can recover from this.
Boise is so overrated because of all the bandwagon fans. It's pretty sad considering they play no one of note. Like barely beating the only good team they played, and in turn that team isn't very good having gotten beat by FCS James Madison. Sure they could compete with any given team on any given day, but who can't? That's why they play the games. But they would not hold up against an SEC or Big Ten schedule consistently.
