1. Last year undefeated Boise State finished 4th.

So TCU did better this year. And the Frogs got some first place votes. Way to go!

3. I think TCU could play with Auburn or Oregon

So they deserve to be there. It's amazing that Aurburn didn't finish in the top 25 last year, but won it all this year.

2. Well, Nebraska survived, barely, in the top 20

Not sure the Huskers deserved even that. Started out good, but...petered on out...

Wait till next year. A whole new Big 10 story. We shall see. They gotta get an offense, and a new offensive coordinator. Defense is just fine...but that ain't enuf...

4. May I remind you that the last non-SEC team to finish #1 was...

Drum roll please!
