What a walk through the rest of the year BSU

[AIIIGHTTT]

Fellas I watched the BSU VT game, very exciting but BSU will be undefeated in Jan. Do you guys think they pass a one loss BCS school? They have a breeze after the month of Sept.:BigA:

I won't deny that BSU looks pretty good.. I just wish their road to big bowls was as difficult as the rest of the world.. It's frustrating.

Depends on who it is. Their schedule is embarrassingly bad, but they keep beating the "big boys" every time they play them. It will be hard to keep them out of the conversation.

If you're a person who uses logic and reason when making decisions, it is very easy to leave them out of the conversation.

I think a lot depends on how VT does the rest of the season. If "The Hokies" get blown out of the water a couple of times this year , that tells me a lot.

Until Boise State plays at least three or four ranked teams a year, they DON'T deserve to be in any discussion other than the discussion of which bowl they'll be in outside of the BCSNCG.

Oregon State will beat Boise in two weeks. The END!

It's pretty sad when they've played one game and now the entire national media wants to put them in the title game. Kirk Herbstreit said they should win every mac game by 30 points.

"T-Mobile" has got to be one of the worst decision makers in college football. He runs when he should throw and throws when he needs to run. I saw him keep his feet in the pocket all of about one time.

Bet what?

If we take care of our buisness I wouldn't mind playing BSU. I was pulling for 'em tonight. They look like a quality opponent. Well coached.

I totally agree. TT is not the guy a team needs when it is coming down to crunch time. Now, BSU, with about two minutes left, did everything right with their clock-stopping maneuvers, and went down to score. VT just didn't have that quality and I knew they had no chance to come from behind. Great coaching on BSU's part, not so much on VT.

This.

And IMHO neither team looked all that great tonight. They both have suspect defenses.

I thought BSU looked very good. Their defense may not be able to stop an good SEC offense every week, but with the senior leadership on the team this year, a team like VTech has to win the game, not expect BSU to make too many mistakes. I think a one loss Tide that wins the SEC would play in the title game before BSU.

As they or any other SEC team should.

Agree to disagree I suppose.

Go beavers!

While I give Boise credit for winning a big game, the fact rrmains that this is their only major test. Can you imagine if Bama only had to get up for one tough game and then was expected to blow out the rest of the schedule. I have no problem with them making a BCS bowl, but not a national title game. They are going to have to figure out a way to play tougher competition.

Unfortunately yes. See below.

Agree. Trouble is, the end game desired by pollsters and sports writers isn't the same as ours. Their target: playoffs. More things to write about; which is what puts beans on their tables. Best way to sway opinions in favor of a playoff is for a BSU to bump a "traditional power" out of the BCSCG. This is before we even consider the political rumblings re Congressional involvement in CFB. IMO so long as BSU takes care of business, write 'em in for one of the berths in the BCSCG. Not fair, so far as the cushy road they have vs. the road the power schools have... but that's where I think we are.

I think a lot depends on how VT does the rest of the season. If "The Hokies" get blown out of the water a couple of times this year , that tells me a lot.

Agree. It's now in our best interests if VaTech drops 4 or 5 games during the season. (Means I'll have to be pulling for VaTech's opponent the rest of the year, which pains me.) OTOH, if VaTech goes on to win the ACC, that'll be all the "proof" the media needs that BSU is one of the best two teams in the country and deserves to be in the BCSCG.

Oregon State will beat Boise in two weeks. The END!

Hope you're right. I don't see it happening ,though.

BSU is a very good team. Maybe a great one. Same for Alabama. And Ohio State. And... um... Nebraska and Texas and Oklahoma and Florida etc. etc. I'm just annoyed that whereas they might be one of the top two teams in the nation, they don't have to prove it by beating tough competition during the course of the season.

As to whether a once-beaten Bama gets to the SECCG over an undefeated BSU, I'm not at all confident that would happen. Reference my earlier "end game" comments. If Bama is undefeated during the regular season and wins the SECCG, Bama gets a berth in the BCSCG. But just one loss and Bama will need the other contenders to lose before Bama gets into the big game. Only one spot is available now unless BSU somehow lays an egg during the season. Unlikely, given their schedule.

I suppose what we think will not matter a whit in the end. It will be what the voters and computers think that count. When Boise wins all their conference games 49-14, I expect them to be in the mix. OTOH, if they struggle in conference I figure they will not be in the mix.
