The new weekly AP Poll is out after the first week of action across the country. It seems the Boise State victory got the attention of some of the voters as the Broncos picked up seven first place votes this week after defeating Virginia Tech who fell three spots to number 13. Florida’s closer-than-expected victory over Miami of Ohio caused the Gators to drop from fourth to eighth this week. Utah, South Carolina, and Stanford all picked up victories in their season openers and made their way into the top 25 this week. It seems as if the Crimson Tide are still the majority favorite to take this year’s BCS title. Would you agree?
