UF #5?

Gotta be highest ever, I guess the :bj: of FSU & UGA gives them a huge boost.

At least we're out of the 'top' 10 this year. I'm surprised to see Florida up there, too, but I'm guessing the FSU game figures in - we don't yet know how overrated the 'Noles will be. Gators don't have their ritual slaughter of a SC FBS team this year.

It's going to be tough for the Gcocks to win the East, with that road game at LSU looming.

Do you have a link to the entire list? I could only find one for the first 50 teams. Was looking to rank the B1G schools. What I have so far:
4. Mich
21. Mich St
23. OSU
25. Neb
37. Penn St

our schedule is ranked ahead of Georgia's

yet if both of us went unbeaten there is absolutely no chance we would be ahead of them.

Georgia is used as the example because it's very unlikely that any of the other teams below us finish unbeaten.

Boise and UGA's toughests opponents:

Boise - @MichSt, BYU, @S.Miss?, Fresno?, SDSU?
Georgia - @Mizzou, @S.Carolina, Florida, @Auburn, GT

I realize Georgia's SEC schedule is one of the weaker ones, but I am not seeing how Boise's schedule is perceived to be equivalent to Georgia's.
