SB Nation BlogPoll: Boise State enters at No. 23

Boise State finally was able to crack the SB Nation top 25 BlogPoll.

Otto Kitsinger III

After weeks, and weeks of being on the outside looking in, the Boise St. Broncos finally cracked the SB Nation Week 9 BlogPoll, at No. 23. They did get some help with Cincinnati and West Virginia losing, but they made the cut.

It looks like out poll is right in line with the composite ranking, we put Florida at No. 1, as did 15 other polsters. In fact, six teams in all have earned a first-place vote. LSU is still probably a bit high for out taste at No. 6, but I guess they are in the SEC (he still had them in the top 10).

The blogpoll hands out a lot of awards for how good, or weird, people vote, and once again we were awarded as being one of the top five blogs that closely resembled the final poll, and also were in the top five of having a big swing in the ballot.

I take that as, we know everything there is to know about college football rankings, since we can change our poll wildly, but still line up with what the consensus thinks. Well, that is what I am going with anyways.
