The Blue Football Top 25 Rankings--Week One

After three weeks, we are beginning to have enough information on who the top teams are.  Remember that since the Pac-12 and Big 12 had chances to invite Boise State to their conference and didn't, neither conference will have a "strength of schedule" argument against the Broncos, so no team with the same record from those two conferences can ever be ranked ahead of Boise State.  Here is the 2012 premiere of the Blue Football Through and Through Top 25*:

1.    Notre Dame
2.    Alabama
3.    Stanford
4.    Texas
5.    Oregon
