Now, Cal has been blown out 72-6 in back to back games and can't even get a vote for top 25. The rankings would make you think Florida vs. Boise St. is a huge game but realistically, Florida would be favored by 25 in such a matchup.

They aren't always going to be right, but at least I know it is a big game going in. Opening game in the NFL was Tennessee-Pittsburgh which was a big game at the time. The fact that Pittsburgh is now 2-2 and Tennessee is 0-4 doesn't suddenly take away from my enjoyment of watching the game at the time. It just means I wouldn't be as excited if they played again now.
