College Football Rankings: 4 Teams That Earned Their Ranking in Week 1

College football preseason rankings mean virtually nothing.

Teams get over-hyped everyday, in every sport.

But a few teams managed to live up to the hype surrounding them during this first week of college football.

Here are the four teams who actually earned their ranking in Week 1 of the college football season.

Boise State

If you had any doubts about Kellen Moore before the Boise State Broncos played the Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday, those doubts should be gone now.

Moore dismantled the Bulldogs going 28-for-34, with three touchdowns and one interception for the tune of 261 yards.

The Broncos beat Georgia 35-21 and showed the nation why they were ranked No. 5.

Stanford Cardinals

The Stanford Cardinals delivered an absolute beatdown on the San Jose Spartans, winning 57-3.

While Andrew Luck didn't have the best game, only going 17-for-26 for 171 yards with two touchdowns, he still looked pretty solid out there.

Stanford is going as far as Luck takes them this season, and the Cardinals have a pretty soft schedule until No. 25 USC on October 29th.

Louisiana State University

Louisiana State University gave the Oregon Ducks a beating this past Saturday.

40-27 when the No. 3- and No. 4-ranked team battled out wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but LSU came through in a big way against the Ducks.

I had my doubts with Jordan Jefferson not playing, but Jarrett Lee did what he needed to do (10-for-22 for 98 yards with one touchdown) and helped the Tigers beat a tough Oregon team.

LSU definitely earned their ranking through Week 1.

Virginia Tech Hokies

The Virginia Tech Hokies beat the Appalachian State Mountaineers 66-13.

Some of you may be asking, who the heck is Appalachian State? While the Mountaineers only plays in the Football Championship Subdivision, they did go 10-3 last year.

Both quarterbacks Mark Leal and Logan Thomas had great games, going 6-for-9 for 113 yards with two touchdowns and 9-for-19 for 149 yards with two touchdowns respectively.

Running Back David Wilson had a ridiculous game, getting 162 yards and three touchdowns on only 16 attempts.

The Hokies put on a No. 13 ranked show last Saturday.
