After a 45-point victory on Saturday against Hawaii, many in Bronco Nation thought their performance would be reflected in Sunday’s newest BCS poll. That wasn't the case.
The Broncos dropped three slots in the BCS ranking to 7th.
There certainly haven't been many around Bronco Nation that are happy about the Broncos new position in the polls, especially because the Broncos were jumped by non-BCS TCU who is now in the 6th slot, one place ahead of the Broncos.
But as usual, BSU head coach Chris Petersen hasn't batted an eye at the change.
As a matter of fact, he actually has some advice for those in Bronco Nation who didn't take the new ranking very well.
"There's a lot more football to be played and you know, I think all those conversations, when you really talking about what matters, I mean in 5-6 weeks we can have those conversations. Until then I think it's just a lot of drama a lot of people like to get caught up in," said Petersen.
It’s almost certain Petersen won't get caught up in the fact that for the third time in four years he's been named to the Bear Bryant coach of the year watch list.
Petersen won the award back in 2006 following the Broncos Fiesta Bowl victory.
Idaho head coach Robb Akey is also one of the 20 finalists for the award.
Meanwhile, Boise State sophomore QB Kellen Moore was named a Davey O’Brien Award semi-finalist. That award goes to the nation’s top quarterback. He is one of 15 QBs being considered for the award.
