This should boost the ratings for the Nebraska game

KU ranked above OU?

ROFL

Rock Chalk...

Agreed.

:thumb:

Looks good to me!

Looks like this Thursday's game will be a good one.

Cincy is 8 and Boise is 6 that's pretty eesh.

I'm fine with Cincinnati or Boise State playing in the Fiesta Bowl, but please keep them out of the national championship game.

Why?

Thats a bunch of bs, they shouldn't be penalized because of conference

That's for teams with tradition.

Yea, they should, if you are from some awful conference if you want respect you need to schedule a difficult non con.

Well Boise St has shown over the past few seasons they can play with the so called teams with tradition.

Guess that leaves MU out...

Why the hell is Cincinnati ranked that high? Why isn't Wisconsin ranked? Why did Virginia Tech jump ahead of Boise State when they still have one loss to their name?

**** the BCS.

Boise St has tradition...

The problem here is, none of the traditional powers want to schedule against Boise.

Florida would come to play either of those teams, unlike Alabama in last year's Sugar Bowl. It would be ugly.

Of course... KU too.

Ya because Boise St. could beat them

Boise St couldn't even win it's conference when one of the other teams became decent...

Exactly.

:thumb:

Just care about 3 bowl wins in a row...... Nothing else matters...

I don't like Boise's chances since Harper is out for the rest of the season.

Cincy gets an auto bid if they win their conference anyway so they aren't a huge deal...but Boise is very overplayed for playing tomato cans all year.

Really? I call bullshit on this. They beat Oklahoma in 07 Fiesta Bowl. They have beaten every 1 Pac-10 team they played since 2005. Did you forget? They beat Oregon, who completely dominated that Cal team.

Come on man, you have to realize that sometimes, some traditional power teams are scared shitless to schedule against Boise, because they would get embarassed if they were to lose to a so-called "inferior" team.

And FWIW, Boise have won all of the conference champions since that conference was created in 2001.

Oh, I didn't realize Oregon was considered a "tomato can" considering you were just arguing that the Pac 10 was a "strong" conference because they keep beating up each other.

You can't go both ways here.

Plus, if Boise was playing teams like "Yale, Harvard, or the Pittsburgh School for the Horny Nuns" then I'd probably question their schedule making a little bit.

Look what Utah did to Bama last year

Ok they beat Oregon so they played 1 team and the rest are tomato cans should I be impressed?

And it's true when Hawaii became decent Boise didn't win the conference Hawaii did.

Can BSU get anyone to play them?

Cincy actually jumped OSU this week... strange. Wisconsin is 26th and they're ranked in USA Today..... they haven't played anyone, but they will get their chance against OSU and Iowa (ugh) the next couple of weeks.

You are correct. I was wrong on that one. That was in 2007, the same year where Hawaii went to the Sugar.

Still though, my point still stands. Boise has dominated that conference. And teams like Fresno St and Hawaii are not pushovers by any means, compared to say, Baylor or Duke for example, who have fielded awful teams.

Cincinnati and Boise deserve to be where they are.

Hawaii is pretty awful now, June Jones took off to another job.

I'm just not going to be impressed with their undefeated record when they've played 1 ranked team all year.

Well, if all teams lose, except Boise, there's a good probability that they'll be playing for the NC.

What's up with that toxic blue field of theirs?

For Boise to get in everyone is going to have to lose 2...1 loss SC or Texas or Bama or Florida would all get the nod over Boise.

:thumb:

Love it... its freaking creepy!

That would make sense if Boise was ranked 20th or around the vincity.

The problem is, they aren't ranked 20th. They are ranked 6th. Texas has to play Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and possibly the Big XII championship game.

Florida will have to play some tough SEC games, and possibly the SEC Championship game. More than likely it may be either Alabama or LSU. VT may end up losing one more game due to their offense.

You really think if those teams win out Boise is going to be put ahead of them?

If SC wins out they'll jump Boise.

I'm more impressed by the Mountain West conference than the WAC. If those two conferences were smart they'd combine powers and throw out the likes of Air Force, Wyoming, La Tech and schools like that.

If you have a football conference with Utah, Boise State, BYU, TCU, Hawaii, that is a decent conference. And probably as good as the ACC.

The unbiased computer rankings (you know, rankings that ONLY account for what a team has done, and not any BS prestige or preseason ratings) have the conferences rated like this...

(1) SEC & (2) BIG 12 head and shoulders above the other conferences

then

(3) Big Ten
(4) Pac 10
(5) Big East

and then

(6) ACC
and the (7) Mtn West not far behind

Wac is (8)

Dude don't list Hawaii that program went back to crap the day Jones left, Brennan went pro and all the Wr's took off.

That's a big "If".

I wish they'd let us color ours black with gold lines. That'd be awesome.

Just sayin, 1 loss SC would finish higher than Boise.

I hate it. Seriously.

No other team can have a turf color other than green, after Boise did that they put in a rule about it.

Then there'll be alot of big controversy on the BCS if a one loss team finish higher than a 0 loss team, considering that 0 loss team is currently ranked above the 1 loss team.

Sorry, no dice.

Wrong.

The NCAA has no such rule; any school may paint its field any color other than green if it wishes. Though painting the end zones is common, and schools have wide latitude in how to do so.

If Iowa or South Florida run the table do they fall short behind a 1 loss SEC or BIG 12 team?

That is what I want to see happen. I don't think there will be a huge uproar if Boise doesn't get in undefeated, but there would be for these guys.

Also Division II University of New Haven became the second NCAA institution to install and compete on blue turf for the 2009 season.

ALSO a NCAA member.

Yea if USC goes into Oregon and beats the team that is Boise's 1 quality win they are going to jump them...

Ohio State played for the title a couple years ago with 2 losses when teams like Boise had 1 or none I don't recall but it was less.

You better call someone then because they talk about that everytime Boise is on TV that no other team can have it.

That's because as I mentioned, OSU was ranked high enough to take on 2 losses, considering Boise was either not ranked or was ranked too low to be taken seriously.

I have. There is no rule for it.

You know if given the choice they are not going to vote for a Florida/Boise title game.

If it's a case of 3 or 4 or whatever, that's one thing... but I don't think they'll let BSU into the NC game. That goes against the whole reason for the BCS.

It's posts like this that make the ignore feature confusing sometimes.

It's situations like this really makes me want to have a playoff system. I mean, it's doing wonderfully well in NCAA I-AA and lower levels. Why would it be any different here?

And if they're concerned about the $ issue, in fact, I would tend to believe that the NCAA or the teams/TV contracts would make MORE money this way.

I've never seen a good reason against it. Keep the bowls, keep the BCS sites, whatever.... add a couple of games to the season and make that much more money. The terribly overrated yet somehow entitled conferences like the Big 10 could still get their one team in if they wanted to keep those requirements (not that I think they should, but it's the only way a playoff would ever happen, so fine), and arguing over #8 or 9 is far less dramatic since you'll always be talking about 1 or 2 loss teams by that point.

It makes far too much sense.

The story I heard was that ducks thought it was a lake when it was green and would land on it and shit all over it. So they made it blue to solve that problem. Don't know if it's true.

Didn't the Big 10 and the Rose Bowl say if there was a playoff they'd basically not participate or something reeruned like that?

LMAO

Fine by me. The Big 11 has been irrevelent for awhile anyways. Same with the Rose Bowl. ****ing traditionalists.

Fine. Let them disqualify themselves from the NC. We'll see how long that lasts after their fans get pissed at their conference.

Uh, nice story, but hardly the truth. The truth here is that Ducks have actually mistaken the field as water, where they got themselves killed in the process.

That shit CAN'T be good for the skin and lungs.

LOL, I'd love to see the logic behind that one. No wonder they're the laughingstock of college football. They can only hope Michigan can lead them out of the abyss and show them it's 2009.

Boise has to blow out their conference. They didn't do that this week and that's why they dropped.

I understand the reasoning why they dropped for this week, and that's to be expected.

If OU beats Texas or Florida ****s up and drops a game there is going to be mass chaos because all the other unbeaten teams are going to lose.

Truth was, Chris Peterson would pick up the ducks and put them in the visitors locker room, which resulted a NCAA fine.

ROFL I was referring to the PAINT!

Like I said, Texas is prone to lose one game, more than likely. The question is, who is going to beat them? If they get beat late in the season, that can't be good.

Florida will likely lose one game. They have to play LSU and possible SEC Championship game. Same with Alabama. Plus, everybody knows how "good" the SEC is.

Those teams will have to either lose twice or to an unranked team before SC sniffs the title game.

That was a horrible loss.

I can't even stand they way Nebraska has their field with every 5 yrds alternating between lighter and darker shade of green. But black and gold would look pretty cool. Much more than the hideous field at Boise St. :Lin:

Maybe just for the Blackout game. I just wish they'd stop making the ZOU wear yellow; it looks ****ing hideous.

Discussions like this are why I love playoff systems. God bless you for being awesome, FCS, Division II and Division III.

You couldn't play on a black field your 1st game of the year the field temperature would cook the players.

Damn your logic!

Way to go Mecca. You had to go and fuck up a perfectly good Iowawegian plan. :D
