Does the USA today poll = Coaches poll? Thats the only one that matters since they don't use the AP poll in the BCS formula.

Yes. USA Today = Coaches Poll = counts in BCS.

:ksu:

Boise should be #1.

:LOL:

:evil:

They beat a top 10 team. Until the other teams play someone decent, Boise should be ahead of them. Right now everyone else is a cupcake/paper champion.

:facepalm:

:KU:

one could argue that the AP matters more, since they determine their own champion rather than just being part of a formula.

I'll give credit to Boise State when they actually play a decent schedule.

I don't see KU on the poll. WTF!!

At this point it doesn't matter. The two teams in front of them play quality opponents this week. Alabama plays Penn State and ohio state plays Miami. If Alabama and ohio state win, they should be ranked higher than BSU. If they lose then they obviously wont any longer.

This.
