They are taking into consideration our current recruit commitments likely, but they probably have not taken into consideration the amount of red shirts we have for 2008.
Grain of salt......

: Now that I've got your attention...
:
: ...it's their post season non-BCS Top 25
:
: SJSU is rated 5th in the WAC.
:
:
:
:
: Recognizing the best of the non-BCS teams
:
: I'm all about the little guys. That's why I
: love the non-BCS schools.
:
: If I can show 'em some love, I do. And
: here's a big smooch as I continue my
: post-mortem on a super, terrific and happy
: college football season.
:
: Non-BCS Top 25
:
: 1. BYU. Ladies and gentlemen, meet the new
: non-BCS monster. The Cougars haven't lost a
: Mountain West game the last two years. And
: it's only gonna get better under Brocno
: Mendenhall.
: 2. Hawaii. Time will look back fondly on
: what June Jones did in 2007. Still, it's
: difficult to get images of that Sugar Bowl
: thumping out of my head.
: 3. Boise State. Sure, the Broncos lost to
: East Carolina in the Hawaii Bowl, but Boise
: State remains the hippest non-BCS school in
: the nation.
: 4. Utah. Too bad the Utes get eclipsed by
: BYU's shadow. I know how good you are, Kyle
: Whittingham. And I'll keep singing Utah's
: praises.
: 5. Tulsa. Is there a better -- or hotter --
: non-BCS coach in America than Todd Graham?
: Of course not.
: 6. Fresno State. Pat Hill is a man's-man
: coach. And he has a man's-man program. I
: only wish more programs had Hill's cojones.
: 7. Air Force. Troy Calhoun may have been the
: best rookie coach in the nation in 2007.
: 8. UCF. Combine unmatched non-BCS facilities
: with the coaching acumen of George O'Leary
: and you have the makings of big things. This
: team belongs in the Big East.
: 9. Navy. The Middies' historic triumph over
: Notre Dame will live forever.
: 10. East Carolina. Skip Holtz has the
: Pirates back to the heights they enjoyed
: under Steve Logan. The question: How long
: will Holtz stay in Greenville, N.C.?
: 11. New Mexico. Is there a more
: underappreciated coach than Rocky Long? He
: needs a hug, Lobo Nation.
: 12. Central Michigan. As long as Dan
: LeFevour is taking snaps, the two-time
: defending MAC champs will be tough. Oh, and
: coach Butch Jones is pretty good, too.
: 13. Houston. The Cougars were every school's
: worst nightmare because of Art Briles' Texas
: Tech offense.
: 14. TCU. Gary Patterson has made the Horned
: Frogs the model of non-BCS success.
: 15. Bowling Green. The Falcons' spread
: attack has set a new trend in the MAC.
: Credit Gregg Brandon, who has Bowling Green
: poised for a league title run in 2008.
: 16. Troy. Don' t you pity the poor BCS
: schools that get suckered into playing at
: Troy?
: 17. Memphis. Remember when Tommy West was on
: the hot seat? Neither do I.
: 18. Ball State. Check out QB Nathan Davis,
: the best player you've never heard about.
: 19. Florida Atlantic. Three words: Fear the
: pipe!
: 20. Southern Miss. Jeff Bower built the
: ultimate "little giant." And he
: leaves with his head held high.
: 21. Nevada. Chris Ault is to non-BCS coaches
: what JoePa is to BCS coaches.
: 22. Ohio. Who said Frank Solich still
: doesn't have it? Not me. I think it's the
: guy in the red shirt with an "N"
: on it.
: 23. Louisiana-Monroe. Meet the authors of
: one of 2007's most classic upsets. Remember
: that game, Bama Boy?
: 24. San Jose State. Funny how winning seems
: to follow Dick Tomey wherever he goes.
: 25. Middle Tennessee. Rick Stockstill has
: the Blue Raiders poised for big things. It's
: a matter of time before a BCS school nabs
: him.
