Granted, I realize that the NCG is out of reach now for my Bucks. After all, who does Boise State or TCU play to whom they can lose? My guess is if either team set foot in Madison they would get their arses kicked. I will say this, however, my Buckeyes would destory either Oklahoma or Texas. That is a no brainer.

My guess i ...[text shortened]... s is Auburns year. I suppose the teams in the SEC are taking turns winning NCG's. Hilarious!!
Auburn is looking unstoppable, but then so was OSU, Oregon looks that way, and indeed Wisconsin would kick thei asses on back to back weekends if allowed. I do not see how anyone could stop Auburn. They beat a pretty solid LSU and the score does not reflect the domination. Boise state will probaly lose to Utah and that will be that!

OU's best chance for a MNC is to play OSU in the MNCG. This isn't OU's year, OU should have a much better team in two years.

I have to say, I'm looking forward to BSU playing high powered Louisina state next week. Then they will play high powered Hawaii. Out of all the teams they have left to play this season, perhaps Nevada will be their hardest opponent.

As for Oregon, I look forward to them playing those push overs in USC. Granted, its not the high caliber football they have in Nevada but it will have to do. I have to admit, its nice not having USC around in the BCS. Enjoy it while it lasts!! 😀

They're playing Louisiana Tech, not LSU. In the Sagarin computer rating, LT is rated 81st, 1 higher than Ohio State's last victim, Purdue.http://www.usatoday.com/sports/sagarin/fbt10.htm Obviously, Boise State will need a blowout just to hold their position in the human polls and even that might not be good enough if both Oregon and Auburn win impressively.

Hawaii is pretty high powered; they have the #1 offense in the country. They missed by a few points of being in the Top 25 in the human polls. But they do have to play on the Blue Field.

Nevada played high enough caliber football to whip California, an above .500 PAC-10 team. As mentioned Oregon could have played Boise State this year, but two whippings in a row was enough for the aptly named Ducks.

Well despite the stupidity of human the human polls, Aurburn passed Boise in the BCS. And if Auburn keep winning they will justifiable pass Boise, TCU and the rest of the garbage teams you love so much.

You're a loudmouthed idiot to keep calling teams like Boise State, TCU and Utah "garbage". Maybe the College coaches and those who follow NCAA football professionally are a little more knowledgeable about the relative strengths of the teams than a biased jerk on the internet.

College coaches are actually playing games while other games are going on. They certainly have no idea what is happening in other games.

The idea that an undefeated WAC team should finish ahead of an undefeated Big 10 team (MSU) or PAC 10 team (Oregon) or Big 12 team (Missouri) is just a joke. In fact when you look at who teams play I would likely put one loss teams such as Alabama ahead of Boise too. The WAC just isn't good. Hawaii is undefeated in the WAC and they lost at home to USC (a two loss team) and to Colorado (a four loss team). I'm more impressed when a team like Wisconsin plays three top 20 teams in a month even if they lose one game.

And Nevada walloped California. And Boise State beat Virginia Tech which is currently in 1st place in the ACC, a BCS conference. And Oregon State an above .500 PAC-10 team which knocked off a Top 10 Arizona team on the road and has played the toughest schedule in the country. Both Hawaii and Nevada are in the top 30 teams in the country according to the polls and computer rankings.

The Big 10 has shown that it cannot compete with the top teams as its miserable bowl records show. It is as yet unclear whether Boise State can or can not; they have only been allowed to play one BCS conference team in a bowl game (Big 12 Champion Oklahoma) and they won. Boise State has outgrown the WAC; that's why they are joining the Mountain West after this year. But they should hardly be penalized because other teams avoid playing them (as Oregon did this year).

The Sagarin computer ranking put the schedules of the Big 10 teams as marginally tougher or easier than Boise State's far. The Broncos schedule is rated 69th most difficult; Michigan State is 65; Ohio State 72; Wisconsin 54. These differences are hardly enough to justify ignoring what anybody who isn't completely biased can see; that Boise State is one of the best teams in the country.

Your argument about the Big 10 is just stupid
(1) Former years don't matter and the big 10 did well last year in bowl games
(2) The Big 10 consistently plays teams ranked ahead of them in bowl games and you only look at win loss record
(3) location makes a big difference and all the games are in warm weather sites nearer to the opponents home. It simply is more of a road game and teams do worse on the road. College football's biggest problem has nothing to do with playoffs or whether TCU or Boise gets a shot at the Nation Championship game, it is that teams like Miami can play games in the Orange Bowl and USC can play games in the rose Bowl while other teams are expected to travel 1000s of miles and be told it is a neutral game.

Virginia Tech is so good they lost next week to 4-3 James Madison.

No one is picking bowl game now and the reality is that Boise played the toughest part of their schedule and their strength of schedule will decrease as other teams increase. Boise should go to a good bowl game, just not a national championship game.

The crybaby excuse about having to play games in good weather with about a month to prepare is pathetic.

Actually I'd rather you stop crying a Boise. The answer is simple, join a real conference and then if they still win games we can talk about their bowl opportunities.

The opinion of a biased clown like yourself isn't worth considering. Perhaps you are so ignorant to believe that any team can just change conferences whenever they want, but like most of the garbage you spew here that is just simple minded nonsense.

If they're one of the two best teams like most human voters seem to think, then they should get their shot. And when they win, I'll expect to see you in this forum admitting you didn't know what you were talking about.

Believe me if I never spoke to the no1moron again, I certainly wouldn't would not be missing much. I am not biased or clown simply because I don't bow down and believe every lie you tell.

Boise is not one of the top two teams in the BCS polls nor based on their schedule do they deserve to be. The computer seem to recognize that better than humans do and as the season goes on and the best teams play each other while humans sit on the sidelines the difference in strength of schedule only gets larger. Rewarding teams who do not play sufficiently hard schedules regardless of their record only makes college football worse.
