College Football Rankings: Boise State Right Outside Top 25

Scheduling a tough out-of-conference road game hasn't done much good for Boise State yet, at least with SB Nation's BlogPoll voters, as the Broncos remain in the others receiving votes category after Week 2 of the college football season.

Boise State lost to Michigan State, a team that looks like it could contend for a Big Ten title, in a tough 17-13 defeat in Week 1, but the 0-1 record is all the pollsters seem to see right now when evaluating the Broncos.

They're set to join the Big East in 2013, but for now, they will struggle with the problem that has plagued them throughout their last decade: they don't have many more opportunities for a quality win on their 2012 schedule.

BYU, whom they will face in Week 4, is their only ranked opponent left on the slate, as the Mountain West Conference has been decimated by defections in the last few seasons.

Boise, as they've already found out this year, won't be given much leeway for any slippage, regardless of the brand name they've developed.

College Football Rankings, Week 3: BYU Enters AP Top 25 At No. 25

The Alabama Crimson Tide remains the No. 1 team in the AP Top 25 Poll, but there are four new entrants this week at the back end: UCLA, Tennessee, Arizona and BYU take Nos. 22 through 25. This comes after a Saturday of college football that saw Louisiana-Monroe defeat then-No. 8 Arkansas, the No. 13 Wisconsin Badgers fall on the road to the Oregon St. Beavers, the No. 16 Nebraska Cornhuskers lose to UCLA and the No. 18 Oklahoma St. Sooners dropped a game to Arizona.

The top four of Alabama, USC, LSU and Oregon remains the same while Florida State and Oklahoma are tied at No. 5.

BYU beat Weber State to improve to 2-0 on the season. They beat out the Boise St. Broncos, still the first team out of the top 25. The Broncos had the week off but moved up to 106 votes. They lost to Michigan State to open the season and will play the Miami (OH) RedHawks on Saturday.
