ESPN.com’s Mark Schlabach released his post-spring Top 25 this morning and two non-AQ teams made the cut: No. 2 Boise State and No. 6 TCU.
I agree with where he has both teams ranked, but I would have liked to have seen Utah sneak in at the bottom. I think the Utes will be better than Texas A&M, especially with quarterback Jordan Wynn potentially coming into his own this season. I know there were a few questions about receivers and defense, but the Utes appeared to answer a lot of those questions while showing depth at the quarterback and running back positions.
I think when all is said and done, the non-AQs will have three teams finish in the Top 25. Houston could be a wild card depending on how well its defense plays, but I think Boise State, TCU and Utah are the top three teams to watch among the nonautomatic qualifiers.
