Yes, I think the Boise State Broncos are the best team in America this week.

SB Nation BlogPoll College Football Top 25 Rankings
My methodology for this in the early going is fuzzier than, say, Black Heart Gold Pants': I don't think 60 minutes of football is a large sample size, but I also don't think scoring margin is the best way to do resume voting after one week. BHGP is admirably faithful to their idea; I'm going to try to be faithful to mine, which is an attempt to rank the top 25 college football teams in order of which I think would win more often at a neutral site.
Boise State pips LSU this week because the Broncos showed more in decimating Georgia in Atlanta than the Tigers did in capitalizing on Oregon's miscues in Dallas; both are solidly in my top two because they cut their teeth against teams with more talent (note: not necessarily better teams) in non-home openers.
There's plenty more for you all to discuss, and I'll be submitting my final ballot just before the 9 a.m. Wednesday deadline, so feel free to tell me what changes I should make. (No, Notre Dame, you are not allowed back in.)
