Really can't be too upset by the way Tennessee played today, though we really could have won. If not for a dumbass play by Gerald Jones stepping out of bounds on a route in the endzone, Tennesse would have had 4 more points with a TD instead of the FG they had to settle for. And then of course, the epic fail of not tackling Tebow on 3rd down in Florida territory when UT had 2 defensive players ready to tackle him behind the line, when one dove and missed and tripped the other guy. That play was lucky as s***. 99 times out of 100 the defensive players take Tebow down, and Florida punts rather than scoring a few plays later.

 

[]nChris Low (from ESPN) said it best - If Florida doesn't have Tim Tebow, they don't win that game. Or if Tennessee had some semblance of a passing game, Tennessee wins that game."[/b] Too bad we just couldn't finish. 2 FG's in the red zone can't happen when you're playing a team like Florida.

Thats like saying if the Bulls didn't have Michael Jordan the Jazz would have at least two titles, Ewing would have won a ring and countless other things.

[Chisoxfn]

Being an SC fan isn't so fine and dandy lately. They always have to lose a Pac-10 game, and with road games still looming against Oregon and Cal, they could end up with 2 P10 losses which I'm not sure is good enough to win the conference.

Cal's the best team in the conference anyway. USC is going to have a rebuilding year, although they'll still finish top 15, probably top 10.

Ewing had a chance against Olajuwon and failed.

 

That's not Jordan's fault.

Is there anyone that is really gonna argue that though?

 

I have no doubt in my mind the Jazz would have two titles if not for Jordan.

[Rex Hudler]

I would never want to ruin a title game just to expose Boise. Who would want to see a Florida/Texas vs Boise title game? And god forbid Boise somehow flukes out a victory.

 

So if Boise were to make the title game and win, that would bad because? Seems to me it would mean they would have earned the National Championship and deserved to be there. But hey, that's just me!

Winning by a fluke doesnt mean they deserved to be there.

First of all, how often are games won on a fluke? Rarely. But to play your game, if Boise St is in the NC game and they are close enough to win on a fluke, there there is NO doubt they deserved to be there. You don't win by a fluke if you had no business being in the game in the first place. There mere fact they would be close enough at the end, kills your theory.

Amen. Do I want to see Boise in the NC? No, but if they get there and manage to win I'll bet it'll have been one of the most entertaining games ever.

 

You have to respect that team for recruiting the way they have in a place like that. And their victory over Oklahoma was anything but fluke.

[zenryan]

Teams like OU and Alabama had no interest in their games against Boise/Utah. Playing those teams are major letdowns in their minds. The mental aspect is huge in college sports. You think Alabama wanted to play some "mid major" team a month after losing their chance to play for a title? So of course there's a good chance you'll get a close game when one team is playing their Super Bowl and the other team is just there to get a free PS3.

 

Sure Boise stands a small chance to upset a Florida/Texas/Alabama when neither team has played for 50 days. But winning one game a season (Oregon game) shouldnt give you the chance to play a school that has to go through a good conference for 8-9 games for a title. If Boise St wants that kind of respect then they need to atleast get in the Mountain West Conference.

 

I just dont want to hear their fans crying when they go undefeated and 2-one loss teams are playing for the title.

The only thing more of a fluke than needing a hook and ladder to tie the game and a Statue of Liberty to win the game is a hail mary.

I bought tickets to go to the UNC game in October. I'm pumped because I haven't been to a road game outside the state of Florida.

I'm sure the disappointment of playing Boise State is so large that they forget they are playing for the national friggen championship.

You will have a great time. You won't find a more beautiful stadium location in the nation, and UNC just spent millions on improving the stadium and adding a floor to the main concourse. Most stadiums are giant structures sticking out of the ground that can't be missed, UNC's almost catches you by surprise when you are walking towards it, it just fits in with the trees and hills around it.

I wasnt talking about the disappointment of playing Boise in the NC game. I was responding to you saying Boise beating OU wasnt a fluke.

If teams like OU and Alabama can't get up for Boise St in a NC game, then THEY have no business being there. Your argument has more holes than swiss cheese!

That may be a little true, but if you can't get up to play in the Sugar Bowl or the Fiesta Bowl, you don't deserve to have a scholarship.

[Rowand44]

If Boise St wants that kind of respect then they need to atleast get in the Mountain West Conference.

Or maybe some of the bigger schools should actually schedule them.

[T R U]

Boise State beat an Oklahoma team that didn't have a QB.. there is no chance that Boise State would beat a Sam Bradford Oklahoma team..

 

Alabama was very young and overachieved last season, even though they were still a good team. Utah had some pretty solid talent of their own as well..

 

There is a difference between the last of the BCS schools who get put against the non BCS teams and the teams like Florida and Texas. Boise State or Utah wouldn't beat those teams and I really hope Boise gets a chance to play one of them so they can get spanked and dash some of these peoples hopes who clamor for playoffs or lower teams to have a fair shot at a National Title..

[fathom]

Ole Miss is the worst #4 team in the history of college football.

[chimpy2121]

But they're in the SEC...

[dasox24]

Ole Miss will be better. They started slow last year, but by the end of the season were one of the most dominating teams in college football.

I want a playoff but it has nothing to do with the Boise States of the world.

Yes im aware.

 

The Boise States of the world are just part of that.

 

Also, #4 bites the dust.. Boise moving ever so closer to the top

I wouldn't say no way. Bradford only threw for 96 yards in the first half because of the reason he got injured: no o-line.

True, but then again Texas (And Colt McCoy especially) looked pretty weak against Wyoming in the first half and then exploded in the second half.. which I am sure a full game with Bradford prolly ends close to the same against a solid BYU team..
