Week three is already upon us, but before we head into the weekend, it’s time to unveil our Top 10 Plus 1. One team probably could have moved up to No. 1, but it let go of a 21-point lead to a Top 25 team. Yeah, we’re talking about you, Boise State! But another Mountain West team, San Diego State, topped a Pac12 team on the road, defeating Arizona State in Tempe.

  1. San Diego State (2-0) Good win on the road earns the Aztecs the top spot this week.
  2. USF (2-0) Two wins against no-names, but the Bulls are in the Top 25 AP poll.
  3. Houston (1-0) The Cougars notched a win on the road at Arizona.
  4. Boise State (2-1) The Broncos topped New Mexico, 28-14 Thursday night
  5. Central Michigan (2-0) The Chips have another winnable game against Syracuse
  6. Eastern Michigan (2-0) Because the Eagles beat a Big Ten team
  7. Toledo (2-0) Maybe the best team in the MAC
  8. Army (2-0) The Black Knights are 2-0. Freedom!
  9. Navy (2-0) Lower the Army ’cause it lost last year to Black Knights
  10. Air Force (1-0) The Falcons won’t be on this list next week after a trip to Ann Arbor
  11. Old Dominion (2-0) Why not, the Monarchs are off and running this year
