A couple points I was trying to make with my rankings:
1. People aren't giving Nebraska enough credit
2. Boise is over-rated and actually is about as good as Nevada this year-- so how do people explain ranking Boise #3 and Nevada #19?
3. People are overlooking a lot of still undefeated Automatic-BCS qualifying teams (i.e. Missouri, Oklahoma State, Michigan State...etc). Those teams deserve some credit-- also those teams may end up winning their conference...
I called it a long time ago... now don't you all feel stupid for saying I was crazy for thinking Nevada was better than Boise? Good job wolfpack.
Your top 10 is trash, it has no basis in reality. The media, coaches, experts, the general public all think you are wrong. As well as most, err make that all here on the forum. Most people do think that senior laden teams, experience, returning starters means something. Each season does not exist in a vacuum, theyre not independent. Rankings are based on more than stats. Silly...

Me? I'll stick with records and stats... you know, things that actually show how good a team is...
I bet you are happy! Your Wolfpack did it finally. Hope you enjoyed watching the Ducks in person.
Yep, can say this was one awesome day, been hard trying to get much internet access since my move/trip to Vancouver but coming down to Eugene, my first college football game was amazing, everything about the Ducks was what it was cracked up to be, Autzen Stadium was unreal. Then Nevada looks to be down and out but somehow come back to beat Boise State.
I wanted to see them go down only because the hype and arrogance around the Boise area was getting insane. Cant even hear the weather report without hearing about the temp game day 1st. Its all they talk about at work. Its all over TV 24/7 on local stations. I wanted to see them humbled, but man oh man I feel bad for that poor kid. Wish I could put my arm around him and give him a hug and tell him its going to be OK. Although its probably never going to be OK for that young man agian. Hes probably laying awake while everyone sleeps tonight reliving the horror. Felt bad for Scot Norwood too when the Buffalo kicker when wide on his kick to lose the Superbowl. Would have liked to see the win with a dropped ball, I mean who the heck could have made that freakish catch anyway...no one would have blamed him had he not caught that. Missing the 2nd kick, a redempion kick would have made the 1st forgoten, but he oviously had it in his head and things didnt work out.
Well, my Ducks wont be be playing them I guess....Take care of Beavs and onto Glendale to take care of Auburn and Cammy boy.
I wouldn't have thought that Boise would have lost the way they did!
This might open up the door for another big 10 or 12 team!!!
