Silverfox....I also forfeited a couple of games for not having my ballot marked by gametime...the Thursday night games were catching me. I think I missed more than a couple of ballots... Blame it on my poor vision...Ha...kept missing top of the general discussions page cuz the bottom has been so da...

A very tough schedule, like that of Arkansas, is only beneficial if you win them all or only lose one. A Loss counts against you so much that the quality of your schedule really isn't as important. Just look at who is undefeated now...Boise, TCU, Utah...and how many current top 15 teams have this e...

Good point. Makes it even more intriguing. My error (about UNLV affiliation) but the question looms larger. It must be the number of games played then. The computers have probably already weighted the wins for two more games played and won than BSU. I bet you will see a flip flop again before season...

I.'m not talking about Baylor. I'm talking about why TCU this week jumped to third? The human polls didn't do that. The BCS computer system did. TCU whipped UNLV. UNLV has only one win this season and that was against bottom dweller New Mexico. But UNLV is a BCS conference school, right? BSU beat Lo...

Yes....some computer algorithimns are weighted against Boise.... in that they take into account the quality of your opponents. I LOL at the paranoid ravings about a conspiracy by the BCS that has "fixed" all of the computers. Measuring your body of work? Oh my God! What can they be thinki...

Just think -- I might have had 51 points if I would have started when everybody else did...LOL...

Ive said it before, I will say it again. The BCS computer formula is "weighted" for BCS schools as opposed to non-AQ schools. This jump by TCU in the BCS poll proves it. Look at UNLV's record for this year. There is no way this should have happened except for the fact it is a programmed ou...

This is not surprising. Also consider the fact that TCU has played and won two more games that BSU (9 vs. 7)and I am guessing that factors in as well. TCU still has three games left this season which includes Utah. Boise State has five games left including Hawaii, Nevada, Idaho, Fresno State and Uta...

They (Oregon) have also been known to throw a mean punch.

I personally don't know the details about most of these things so I can only speculate like everyone else. Commuter School, yes. But not as much as you might think. There is never enough housing on campus because they can't build it fast enough. Therefore, many students do live off campus -- as it i...

Can't say I am looking forward to it. LOL

I didn't start when everyone else did and my picks...well...color me stupid... It has been one of those years....

Only if the "home" has a large screen and a lot of volume.

Amen...Amen...Amen... Hallelujah

One of the little rumors I have heard is that the better Boise State gets the more difficult it gets to schedule OOC. It is a Catch 22 for sure cuz the rhetoric calls for tougher scheduling but teams that know what they are doing don't want to ruin their chances by being "busted" by Boise....

Seems there are lots of surprises this year. Can't take any team or any game for granted -- and impossible to forecast the inexplicable.
