I didn't know there was a Football God. I always thought the closes to that was Bear Bryant! :shock:

And quite possibly against another non BCS team, either Utah or TCU.

Chokelahoma was overrated from the start. I never had them above #5 if my memory serves me correctly (and without going back to look).

I cannot understand how the computers could put them at #1.
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.

Oh, and if Georgia does not somehow beat Auburn, they will most likely play Oregon in the game.

It's quite possible that Bama, Ohio State, and Oklahoma played quality teams that can beat anyone....unlike Boise playing the likes of Idaho, New Mexico, etc, etc, etc, week after week after week.

By golly, this is certainly an original thought.

Boise will not be challenged and will go undefeated....the AQ undefeated teams (and 1 loss teams) will play a team almost every week that has a chance at beating them. Not original but the TRUTH.

Even if they lose to Alabama? I think Bama will almost certainly run the rest of the table. Oregon still has some road tests and I do think their defense will get exposed. Oregon will probably drop I'd like to think, and then the conversation will come down to 11-1 Oregon, possibly a 12-1 Big 12 champ, and Boise State.

If both TCU and Boise State go unbeaten, my question is, which team had the more difficult schedule? Add Utah into that mix also, if they win out, beating TCU.

Utah may have to get the nod there, but ultimately they started behind Boise and won't get the push from the computers to hop the Broncos. But Utah would have defeated Air Force, TCU (assuming they finish 11-1, they'll finish on the outskirts of the top 10 or in the latter portion), Pittsburgh, Iowa State, and Notre Dame. That looks more impressive on paper than Hawaii, Fresno State, Nevada, Oregon State, and Virginia Tech. Although if VT goes on to win the ACC and finish 11-2, I think Boise could say they had the most difficult win considering it was virtually a home game for Va Tech on national television.

It'd be a really close call. On a game-to-game basis though, I think Boise has passed the eye test better than Utah has. But to me that would virtually be a coin flip.
