    I see that Boise lost ground in the polls this week. I think that is going to be a season long problem for them, as long as there are other BCS conf teams that are undefeated. They will have big wins over WAC teams while Texas might beat OU, or vice versa.

    Now as major conference teams pick up losses, which is inevitable, they can regain some of the lost ground, but it's still going to be tough for them to get into that #1 or #2 slot. Va.Tech blowing it to James Madison really hurt them, now that "big win" doesn't look as big. They really need Va.Tech to recover and have an excellent season, which I think they can. They also need to look impressive vs Oregon State at home.

    Terry, with Va Tech losing to James Madison I think the computer polls may be a problem for Boise also.
