The first regular season and coaches polls are out, and Boise State and San Diego State are on the outside.
This should not come as a shock that neither Boise State or San Diego State are ranked in first regular season AP and coaches poll, but at the end of the day it means squat as only the playoff committee polls determine anything and those come out after Halloween.
However, recognition is nice and being ranked gets more people to tune into one’s teams. Boise State played so well in their win over Louisiana-Lafayette that they fired their defensive coordinator, and San Diego State cruised to a win over New Hampshire.
