And Boise State is 3rd, so?

Meh.
Boston College: 104th (4.64 YPR)
It does beat out Miami (FL) and Tennessee...then again, it beats out Miami and Tenn.

Boston College: 120th (17.59 YPR)
Dead...frickin'...last. I knew we'd find one sooner or later.
Nevada: 38th (22.67 YPR)
Mike Ball rules. And, yes, I'd be saying this regardless.

Ault is a little munchkin bitch that cost me alot of money on the Fight Hunger Bowl game. What pathetic, conservative playcalling. Nevada got lucky with a very pathetic ugly win.
