<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/boise-st-broncos">Boise St. Broncos</a> dropped in the latest BCS Rankings simulation, following their Week 1 loss to the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/michigan-st-spartans">Michigan St. Spartans</a> last Friday night.</p>
<p>As expected, the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/alabama-crimson-tide">Alabama Crimson Tide</a> are atop the latest simulated BCS Rankings,<a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/2012/9/5/3292069/college-football-rankings-bcs-standings-2012" target="_blank"> which can be found here, over at SB Nation.com</a>. Michigan, who was crushed by Alabama in Week 1, dropped from No. 9 to No. 20 with the loss.</p>
<p>The Broncos also dropped -- but not as far as the Wolverines did. Boise St. dropped from No. 18 to No. 22 in the simulated rankings, following a three-point loss to Michigan St.</p>
<p>For the Broncos to make a major jump in the rankings in 2012, they'll almost certainly need to win the remaining 11 games on their 2012 schedule. Unfortunately for Boise St., none of those opponents are currently ranked at this time.</p>

<p>After losing their Week 1 matchup against the Michigan State Spartans, the Boise State Broncos have dropped out of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.sbnation.com/2012/9/5/3293838/2012-blogpoll-week-2-alabama-michigan">SB Nation's BlogPoll Top 25.</a></p>
<p>Michigan State, who defeated Boise St., is ranked No. 9 in the latest and greatest BlogPoll.</p>
<p>Prior to Week 1, the Broncos had been ranked No. 23 in SB Nation's BlogPoll. It's not terribly surprising that following the loss, Boise St. dropped out of the rankings.</p>
<p>All is not lost, however, as the Broncos did receive votes in the poll. Boise St. will get a chance to move up in the rankings next weekend, when they play host to Miami Ohio, on Sept. 15.</p>
<p>However, the Broncos do not have another ranked opponent on their schedule for the rest of the season, so a high rise in the rankings might be out of the question for 2012.</p>

<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/boise-st-broncos">Boise St. Broncos</a> are still ranked in the USA Today Coaches Poll, but at No. 25 they are barely holding on to that spot. Losing 17-13 to the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/michigan-st-spartans">Michigan St. Spartans</a> certainly made that happen, but enough voters decided the team would stay in the poll. It was a three-spot drop for them.</p>
<p>Just as in the AP poll, the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/alabama-crimson-tide">Alabama Crimson Tide</a> moved to the top spot after demolishing Michigan, 41-14. The former No. 1 <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/lsu-tigers">LSU Tigers</a> dropped to No. 3 while USC moved up to No. 2. Oregon flipped places with Oklahoma and is now No. 4.</p>
<p>Auburn dropped out of the No. 25 slot and allowed Louisville to slide at No. 24 as the new entrant.</p>
<p>Boise State is off this weekend.</p>

<p>The first in-season <a target="_blank" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/2012/9/4/3291323/college-football-rankings-week-1-ap-top-25-2012/in/3055251">AP poll</a> is out and, as expected, the Boise St. Broncos are no longer in the top 25. They lost to the Michigan St. Spartans, 17-13, on Friday. The Broncos are the first team out, as they have 79 points. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish, who demolished Navy in Dublin, took the lone top 25 spot that was opened up over the weekend and came in at No. 22.</p>
<p>This is the first time since Sept. 2008 that Boise State has not been ranked in the AP Poll. That covers a span of 62 weeks, according to <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/ESPNStatsInfo/status/243013205725696001">ESPN Stats & Info</a>.</p>
<p>The Alabama Crimson Tide rose to No. 1 after defeating the Michigan Wolverines, 41-14. The USC Trojans moved out of the top spot even though they defeated the Hawaii Warriors. Michigan tumbled from No. 8 to No. 19. Oregon moved into No. 4 while Oklahoma dropped one spot to take No. 5, which has been Oregon's spot.</p>

<p>While the official BCS standings won't begin until October, many of the rankings that are components of the standings have begun. Jeff Sagarin's computer rankings are one of those that factors in to the BCS standings and his <a target="_blank" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/2012/9/4/3291076/college-football-rankings-2012-alabama-tcu-sagarin-ratings">listing after the opening week of the season</a> was published on Tuesday morning with the Boise State Broncos still very high on the list despite a loss in their opener against Michigan State.</p>
<p>In fact, Boise State is No. 5 on the list, seven spots ahead of Michigan State, which finished No. 12. While the Broncos are still high on Sagarin's rankings, they are <a target="_blank" href="http://denver.sbnation.com/boise-st-broncos/2012/9/2/3286835/college-football-rankings-top-25-boise-state/in/3054501">expected to fall out of the polls</a> entirely when The Associated Press and Coaches Polls are released this week.</p>
<p>Other questionable allotments include the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/tcu-horned-frogs" class="sbn-auto-link">TCU Horned Frogs</a> as the No. 2 team in the nation despite having not played a game yet this season.</p>

<p>Eastern Washington and Youngstown State were each the biggest movers in the latest TSN FCS Top 25 Poll after strong wins over the weekend.</p> <p>The defending champion North Dakota State Bison put forth an impressive 52-0 blowout of <span class="sbn-auto-link">Robert Morris</span> over the weekend to kick off the 2012 season, but still remain narrowly behind the No. 1 overall Sam Houston State Bearkats in <a href="http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfoot2/misc/cfoot225poll.aspx">the latest <font size="2">The Sports Network FCS Top 25 Poll</font></a><font size="2">.<br></font></p>
<p>After the two FCS title contenders in the rankings comes a trio of schools that each picked up at least one first-place vote after the weekend, including none other than Montana State, a team who took down Chadron State 33-6 on Saturday to start the year off on the right foot.</p>
<p>And while much of the FCS world is still buzzing about Youngstown State's improbable upset of Big East representative Pittsburgh, a win that was accompanied by a well-deserved jump from No. 13 to No. 6 in the polls, Eastern Washington also made plenty of noise with their own 20-3 dismantling of the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/idaho-vandals">Idaho Vandals</a>. The Eagles also jumped three spots up to No. 9 with the victory, but won't have much time to catch their breath with a daunting test against Washington State scheduled for Saturday.</p>

<p>The Boise State Broncos will likely fall out of the top 25 polls when they are released later in the week.</p> <p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/boise-st-broncos">Boise St. Broncos</a> opened the 2012 college football season with a road contest in East Lansing, Mich., against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/michigan-st-spartans">Michigan St. Spartans</a> and came away empty-handed, losing 17-13. It was a sloppy game for both teams, but Spartans running back <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/113936/le-veon-bell">Le'Veon Bell</a> and his 210 rushing yards and two touchdowns proved all the difference. That loss should drop the Broncos out of both the AP and Coaches polls, which come out later in the week.</p>
<p>The AP poll has the Broncos currently as the No. 24 team, but Notre Dame and Washington, the first two teams outside the top 25, each won over the weekend and one of them is likely to take Boise State's spot. The only other top 25 team to lose this weekend (Louisville plays later on Sunday and Virginia Tech on Monday) was the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/michigan-wolverines">Michigan Wolverines</a>, No. 8 in both polls. The No. 2 <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/alabama-crimson-tide">Alabama Crimson Tide</a> destroyed the Wolverines on Saturday night, 41-14. A severe fall for the Wolverines should be in order.</p>
<p>Alabama <a target="_blank" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/2012/9/2/3286827/college-football-rankings-alabama-usc-oregon-oklahoma">might move ahead of USC</a> in the AP poll and LSU in the Coaches poll with that convincing victory over Michigan. USC defeated Hawaii, 49-10, and LSU beat North Texas, 41-14. Both of those victories went as expected.</p>
<p>The No. 4 <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/oklahoma-sooners">Oklahoma Sooners</a> had an unimpressive victory over the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/utep-miners">UTEP Miners</a>, 24-7, and could flip to No. 5 if voters move the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/oregon-ducks">Oregon Ducks</a> up one spot. Oregon defeat Arkansas State, 57-34.</p>
