Ouch!! Those voters vote Boise #5 one week, then they turn around and say "oops, made a mistake" and drop them to 6? Say it ain't so!!

After last night's win, they shouldn't even sniff the BCS national championship game.

Agree. Any of the other Top 10 teams would crush them on a neutral field.

However, this does bring back some fond memories..

Hey!!! Quit ganging up on Boise St!! Nah, I'm just funning with ya!

Seriously, how far down do you think they'll slip in next week's poll?

I think in the AP & Coaches Poll I would predict around 7 or 8, but it all depends on results from this week. Assuming everything goes fairly normally, the first BCS poll which I believe will be Monday, they will be in the low teens. I think TCU will be the princess of the ball so to speak.

After watching Cincy last night I would predict them and Boise St. switching places in the polls, however I can't see Cincy going undefeated after the injury they sustained.

I sit corrected, Boise St. debuts at #4 in the BCS poll. Congrats to their fans and backers, they are higher than I thought they would be.

Ask Alabama what they thought of Utah. This type of logic is completely pointless. FACT.

I'll take that one. Andre Smith blew the team up in New Orleans. They didn't give a darn after losing to Florida and missing a chance at the National Championship game and neither did their fans :D

Same here. I was hoping the big three would all lose on Saturday, but of course that didn't happen.

As for Boise, I think it's more no one wants to play them home-and-home, making it tough for Boise State to schedule tough non-conference opponents. If only the NCAA would make some of the power teams (Florida for instance) stop scheduling early season cupcakes and make them say go to Boise and play them there (could you imagine if the Gators had to play on the blue turf at Boise State for instance?), then you could level the playing field somewhat.
