Boise State projected as BCS No. 1

[El Supremo]

Six weeks into the college football season and one week before the first Bowl Championship Series standings are released, there are 13 unbeaten teams in all three polls.

So who'd be the BCS' No. 1 if the standings came out today? Would it be consensus No. 1 Ohio State, the top team in The Associated Press, USA Today and Harris polls? Or maybe fellow unbeaten Oregon, ranked No. 2 and earning first-place votes in all three polls?

According to the projection of ESPN's Brad Edwards, it's consensus No. 3 Boise State.

According to the projections, the No. 1 Buckeyes would place fifth in the BCS standings, percentage points behind Oklahoma....

OOPS!

1. Don't worry, the BCS will find a way to get an SEC and Big 12 teams to play

one another, thus screwing over legitimate teams.

2. Even if that's true...they'll drop eventually.

As usual, Boise's remaining schedule just isn't tough enough.

San Jose State
Louisiana Tech
Hawaii
Idaho
Fresno State
Nevada
Utah State

7. Nevada is undefeated

Including a big win over Cal. That should help their SoS provided that Nevada gets through Hawaii and Fresno who should be their biggest roadblocks besides Boise to their road to an undefeated season.

4. This is why people hate the BCS

That's the stupidest thing I've ever seen . Maybe James Madison should be three in the country cause they beat Virginia Tech who were beaten by Boise State

5. I'd say yes

but they lost to Delaware. NC State was in the top 25 until they lost to Virgina Tech. Ouch.

I hate the BCS because it's the BCSEC...

rigged.

9. Ohio State should be out of the picture after next week.

Then what?

11. Boise St probably has a tougher strength of schedule so far.

Boise St. has played two ranked teams. Oregon and Ohio St. have only played one.

Weeks 12-15 + conference championships is when things start getting set in stone.
