Boise's win at Oregon is just as good, if not better, than Ohio State's at Michigan State- and they absolutely manhandled everybody else on their schedule except a decent Nevada team. They deserve to go over a two-loss Ohio State team.

We know they won't, since money matters of course as Phil stated.

Honest..wasn't a plug for us.


Wish someone else was battling them. I just think strength of sched should matter. Look at their whole sched.....it sucks.They wouldn't finish in the top 5 or 6 in the BT..in my noodle.



Think of BYU being the only undefeated team in the country several years ago. They won the polls nc.........didn't deserve it. I do think 2 and 3 loss teams can be better than unbeaten teams.

I know it wasn't a plug. Just playing the other side of the argument.

I think they'd finish 3rd in the Big Ten this year, or 2nd in the Pac-10. Their wide open style would play better in that league. I love the blue field, by the way- best homefield advantage in the country with the all-blue unis!

Is a 2 loss Ohio State team better than Ball State? Without a DOUBT. Hell, a 5 loss Oregon State team is better than them...

You do know Purdue and NW have run a wide open spread here for years?


I don't know what they run...a spread I guess?

I hate that gooofy gimmick offense.


I just can't see them finishing in front of SP,OSU,Iowa,MSU....and even maybe NW,MINN and Illinois.

Sure, but NW finished 4th and Purdue just sucks... I had them behind State Penn and Hang On Sloopy, but ahead of Idowa and MiSt(ake), which I guess is debatable although I'll take the Smurfs on a neutral field against those two. Like I said I think they'd do better in the no-defense Pac-10 than the BT where teams would just run it down their throat.

other than $$, why can't they just have a 16 team playoff like every other division of collegiate football?
11 conf champs and 5 at large?
bowls games already take chump teams (my UK wildcats), they can keep them.
give us a playoff!!
