Boise State loses ground in Top 25

[Upton]

The combination of impressive victories by Alabama and Ohio State and a stunning loss by Virginia Tech led to Boise State losing all but one of its first-place votes in the AP Top 25.

The Broncos were still No. 3, behind the top-ranked Tide and No. 2 Buckeyes in the poll released Sunday, but the gap has widened.

Alabama received 52 first-place votes and 1,466 points. Ohio State had five first-place votes and 1,410 points and Boise State received one and 1,306.

After Boise State beat Virginia Tech last Monday night in Landover, Md., the Broncos received eight first-place votes from the media panel and were only 13 points behind No. 2 Ohio State.

Some of the luster came off the Broncos' big nonconference victory when Virginia Tech was upset Saturday by James Madison, which plays in Division I's second tier

Good, it's only right. Boise lost 7 first place votes, the same amount they had previously gained after their win over what now looks to be an overrated Virginia Tech. Seems like a lot of people are having second thoughts.

2. Oregon at #5

First big test though will be when Stanford comes to town after a big win over the Amish at South Bend.

3. yet another reminder that there's no championship in top-level college football

Any championship determined not on the field but by reporters swayed and computers crunching stats is intrinsically bogus. The BCS and all its forerunners are a joke; there is no national champion, just a lot of opinions.
