Another official component of the BCS standings has been released with the first edition of the Harris poll. This poll starts later in the year and is supposedly to be a better look of where teams should be ranked, but it is pretty close to the coaches poll.
The Boise St. Broncos come in at No. 22 after winning four straight games, coming off of their most recent 40-14 beat down over Southern Miss. Being placed in the bottom of this poll is just about right, but I do think that they should be placed above TCU who is one spot above. That is just nitpicking really, having the Broncos at 22 seems about right.
