Boise State claims top spot in early Pac-12 football power rankings

Boise State sits at the top of the reimagined Pac-12 football power rankings despite a 34-27 loss to Oregon in the season opener. The conference saw a collective 2-6 start to the season during Week 1, with several teams suffering significant losses. Colorado State and San Diego State both secured opening victories, positioning them high in the initial rankings while other programs struggled against non-conference opponents. Fresno State endured a 39-0 shutout against Southern California, and Utah State fell to Idaho State in an upset. The conference is currently comprised of eight active football members working to establish relevance following the league's restructuring. Teams are now preparing for Week 2 matchups, including Boise State's game against Memphis and a meeting between San Diego State and UCLA.
