Non Cartel schools in top 25:

#16 Boise St--surprised they are ranked this high? They lost their stud RB to the NFL a year early and one of their best receivers ever. Is this a "name" pick??

#20 USF--not surprised at all. USF brings back a lot of talent. They host Illinois at home. Start season during "0 week" at San Jose St. Could be a sleeper on the national stage.

*My opinion.

Surprise no WKU, that is my sleeper pick. Coaching change not to impact them during bowl season.

As a fan, Boise St is terribly under ranked. In reality, I'm surprised Boise St is ranked at all. I would think they'd be RV but not ranked.

Surprised me too. It tells you big the Boise name has become.
You know, if you want the writer's explanation, you don't have to ask why he picked Boise State at #16, you can read the article that he wrote about it on the USA Today site.... 07-coffee3

Sure I can, and I did... I am just surprised at how highly ranked Boise is. The writer of the article has an opinion, I have an opinion, you have an opinion, everyone on this opinion board has an opinion....
Yeah billy, what the heck were you thinking ... starting a thread and making people have a discussion on an internet message board. You know full well that the only point of an internet message board is just to be looked at. You're not actually supposed to start any threads!
Post the article...

Every day USA Today does a count down of their way too early top 25 college football predictions starting at #25. Today was #16: Boise St.
There is an article, but I don't know how to link it. I would cut and paste, but there's rules against that. Would someone smarter than me post the article please?
Well there is this article, but it's from Jan 10th.

That's a seperate thing. USA Today is doing their second "early top 25" since football ended. I saw it in the USA Today newspaper sports page a couple days ago. I should have taken a picture of it with my phone and posted it on here so everyone would know what I'm talking about. There's some guys really busting my balls over this thread hahahaha...they aren't Boise fans either; I can't tell if they are mad that Boise is #16 or mad at me for being surprised that Boise was predicted that high?
