that may be true, but remember week 1? they went into Hokie town against a very good Va Tech team, with all the momentum in the world. they beat tech, more like stomped all over them. granted tech lost to James Madison the very next week, but they are still a physical football team.
then look at week 4, when Boise played Oregon State at home. another athletic, physical football team, and they won. the argument that they would be bad in another conference is not valid because they are still in the top 5 among both offensive and defensive stats. i think Boise should be #3 because Ohio State and Oregon both have very good offense, decent defense, and both play in power conferences.
also, i do think Alabama should fall behind Boise/TCU in the polls
