    It sure would have been nice if they would have let them both play against good BCS teams to see how they really stack up.

    We did.

    When Cincinnati, another one of those "we're good enough, and people like us" teams went up against a BCS team, they got their asses handed too them. I watched the game and Cincinnati looked pathetic.

    But to let them play each other, the winner will try to make a bid to be co-champions since there will be two undefeated teams. Of course, if one of them would have played Florida and beat them, they would have a real chance of getting named co champion. Less to risk for the BCS bunch this way.

    Really, risk for the BCS? Look at the mirror, your cynicism is showing.
    It amazes me how these teams play little sisters of the mountains and people act like they're some secret. The second best team in your conference went 8-5 and we're supposed to believe Boise State has a tough schedule? You beat one big conference team and you think your worthy of a national championship or even to play for it? How many top 25 teams did Alabama have to roll through to get to the big game? A hell of a lot more than BSU. It's one big conspiracy perpetrated by every voting sports writer, coach et al to keep these teams down right? If I was a sports writer I would WANT to see the match up. Think of their readership.

    And please, don't give me that "we're undefeated and getting robbed" BS. You're undefeated beating who? Only four out of nine teams in the conference had a winning schedule.

    In 2004 Auburn went undefeated and didn't play for a national championship and they're in a BCS conference. Why? Because they played a weaker schedule and their winning margins were less than those that did go on and play.

    And don't get me started on TCU.

    Re: Boise State SLAUGHTERS TCU

    If either of those two teams had to play half of Alabama's schedule they wouldn't have been undefeated, they don't deserve a share of the championship and if they would have played Florida they would have been crushed much like Cincinnati, so Roll Tide Roll here comes our 13th national championship to go along with our 6 first team all Americans (most ever) and Heisman trophy winner.

    Call up some "big conference" teams like Alabama and ask them to grow a pair and agree to play Boise State for one of their non-conference games. Aside from their conference, they have a hard time getting a "tough" schedule, because none of the top teams will agree to play them.

    Bleymaier is making a nearly unheard of offer in college football scheduling – Boise will bring its popular, high-profile, top-10 team to any stadium in any town to play any big name team in America in 2011. And they don’t have to return the date in Idaho.

    So far, no one has bit.

    ESPN has even become involved trying to broker a deal that will almost assuredly be nationally televised. Still no luck.

    Despite your delusions of grandeur it wont happen. Teams in Div. II and III go undefeated all the time. Should they get a shot at the title too? It's only fair right? They go undefeated.

    I've got to thank you because I enjoy starting the day off with a hearty laugh. "Big conference teams" play more top 10 oppenents than BSU will ever dream about playing but they've got to "grow a pair" and play some little school that will do nothing to promote their strength of schedule. Sure BSU will benefit but others will not.

    And this. This is nothing but grandstanding at best. Bleymaier is a politician. He knows damn well that the schedules are created YEARS in advance and all of his rhetoric serves no other purpose than to rial up his student body and fans. See where your quote says "particularly in 2011". Why do you think that is? Do think Florida, Alabama, Texas, USC are scrambling around looking for someone to play in 2011? No way, because that schedule was set years ago.

    Don't worry BSU, your time will come. Your time will come when you go into Gainesville or Death Valley or the Coliseum and dig you're own grave.

    After the way you slaughtered TCU, oh wait, you barely beat them by 7 and luckily got an interception as TCU was marching down the field on you to score again. You are right though, you showed by barely beating a mediocre team that you have every right to play for a national championship

    This is the exact reason why a playoff would be better. It would weed out the teams that don't deserve to be there. The current system is flawed, but better than what was in the past.
     
    Re: Boise State SLAUGHTERS TCU

    Beating a high profile team once in a while does not detract from a mediocre schedule. If schedule doesn't count for anything than why not schedule Temple, Columbia and all of the bottom Div. I teams? You would blow them out and look like heroes. It would be like the USA invading Lichtenstein.

    No one denies anything can happen on any given Saturday; that's one of the highlights about college football. However we're talking about consistent victory against national powerhouses not Idaho, Nevada and UC Davis.

    I do agree that the system is flawed but I also believe the flaw is overrated and used as a crutch.

    Here's a question for the BSU fans. If BSU is "out of their league" playing in the WAC and they really want to show themselves as a top notch team, why doesn't the AD call for movement into a BCS conference instead of grandstanding about how no one will play them? Why doesn't BSU go to the Pac-10 or Big 10 or even the Big 12 for that matter? Get into a legitimate conference and run the schedule. THEN you have a leg to stand on. But right now if I'm a sports writer or a coach voting in the BCS poll and I see BSU beating schools like Bowling Green, Tulsa by only 7, Miami (OH) I'm not impressed. You beat USC, Ohio State, Alabama, Texas on a consistent year after year basis and then you get the votes. But until that happens BSU will be relegated to the "Yes, they're good but" category. Sorry but that's reality as it stands.

    The only extenuating circumstance I saw in the situation was the fact the a SEC division 1 team handed Cinci their ass by what? 37 points? That is horrible and in no way lets you call yourself a good team with or without the head coach. Texas Tech won their bowl game without their head coach....

    No other conference nor division can handle SEC teams... its just to tough of a conference. So for Alabama to beat everyone and then whip FL they have every right to be champs, which they will be when they beat TX.

    I want everyone to hope off the bandwagon of we went undefeated... so what your division 2 and most highschool teams around my state could beat you. Boise state might be decent but if they played Alabama in a game.... it would be the most horrific game ever played. why you ask? BAMA would slaughter them. they cant hang with that team, we are division one for a reason.

    SEC is THE toughest conference to play in, period. Care to argue that point? Go do a little reading on ESPN and see who has the most wins and championships.... SEC teams.

    Re: Boise State SLAUGHTERS TCU

    Cinci said they reason they played poorly was because their head coach was gone, he did all of the opposing teams QB reads to help set their defense.

    if you play the game, you should know how to read defense. If your so dumb that you need to be told what to do and how to do ALL THE TIME. you are not on a team. you are on a collective unit of dumb shits.

    Seems a play off is the only real and fair solution. I cant understand why the Universitys dont go for it...more revenue, which appears to be what college sports has become about. Everybody jokes about the NY Yankees "buying" the best team in baseball, but look at what the top schools pay thei staffs....Mack Brown, at leasr 5.1 million, and Saban is getting over 4 million. This is amature athletics?....more like the semi-pros.

    Boise state vs. Alabama? in a playoff... surely you saw what Florida did to Cincy. Then you had to see what Bama did to FL ? Boise state cant hang with the SEC!!!

    Are you being serious? If you are, that is downright HILARIOUS. It would be a horrible venue for revenue because people would be leaving by the 1st quarter. Boise state cannot compete with a team of that skill set and size.

    Please re-read my post. I didn't say Cincy would've won the game, I said it would've been more competitive and not a 37 pt blow out. FWIW, I think Florida was unstoppable that night. IMO, no team in FBS would've stopped them that night, including Alabama.

    The SEC is the strongest conference in college football. I'm certainly not going to argue that, nor was I trying to. I do more than enough reading on ESPN that they won't soon let the world forget it.

    Yes, I agree w/ those points. However, look at the past couple of years w/ coaches leaving their teams before bowl games. I believe the only other interim coach that won a bowl game was the guy from WVU when RR left for Michigan. Teams do win when their coach bolts, but it seems to be a rarity because it messes w/ their heads.

    <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Cinci said they reason they played poorly was because their head coach was gone, he did all of the opposing teams QB reads to help set their defense.

    if you play the game, you should know how to read defense. If your so dumb that you need to be told what to do and how to do ALL THE TIME. you are not on a team. you are on a collective unit of dumb shits.</div></div>

    Again, I agree w/ the points, but allow me to pose a hypothetical situation just for fun:

    Urban Meyer actually begins his leave of absence right after the Sugar Bowl pick. Charlie Strong is named interim coach, but has already accepted his new position. You guys honestly don't think that would've had some impact on Florida's play or the outcome of the game.

    I agree w/ the points you guys are making concerning team play, schemes and coaches, but I also believe that when a coach leaves before a bowl game it screws w/ the team chemistry.

    I'm also not on the "We're undefeated so we should be crowned National Champions" bandwagon. It's obvious to me that it can't work that way. Perfect case in point was the thumping a one loss Ohio State took from a two loss LSU team in the championship game a few years ago. Prior to that game I didn't follow the SEC that closely and thought LSU had no business being a two loss team playing for the NC. However, after that game, my opinion changed and my eyes opened quite a bit more to the other conferences.

    I like when the non BCS teams get matched up and win against BCS teams (which happens fairly often). I like it simply for the fact that it creates controversy. The current system sucks and every bit of controversy created will help push towards fixing the flawed system and getting a playoff.

    Please re-read my post. I didn't say Cincy would've won the game, I said it would've been more competitive and not a 37 pt blow out. FWIW, I think Florida was unstoppable that night. IMO, no team in FBS would've stopped them that night, including Alabama.
    </div></div>

    Here is why I disagree with this statement, and I did watch every snap of the game.

    It was in Florida's best interest to beat Alabama for the SEC championship for many reasons-many more than to add another bowl title. Florida had everything to prove in that game against Alabama. However Alabama stepped up and <span style="font-style: italic">handed them their ass-period.</span> So to say that it would have been a closer game if Alabama was playing makes no sense whatsoever. Alabama beat Florida by 19 points but Cinci is going to play Alabama tougher than they played Florida? Yes, Florida played well that night against a team that couldn't match them physically but did you honestly expect anything else? From the first snap but to say that Cincinnati would have played a team that stomped Florida only a couple of weeks before not only doesn't make much sense but borders on the ridiculous.

    Mike,

    I think you misunderstood what I wrote. I didn't say Cincy would've played Alabama better, nor did I try to insinuate they should've been playing Alabama. What I said was that Florida was unstoppable in the Sugar Bowl. I don't think any FBS team could've stopped Florida the night of the Sugar Bowl, including Alabama.

    I think we can both agree that Cincy was outclassed in pretty much every manner of the game. I honestly didn't know what to expect having not had much time to watch either team throughout the season. I had hoped for a more competitive game because the better all college football programs get, the better college football in general becomes.

    Later,


    Steve.
