If they played 90% of their games at home....and beat teams like new Mexico St. and San Jose St. by 3 points every time....maybe.

as long as bsu is allowed to play big teams with 6 weeks or 6 months to prepare, they'll have a chance to win.
i heard on the radio that Nebraska tried to sign a 3 yr deal bsu. 2 in Nebraska 1 @ bsu. bsu wanted the second game at Neb to be a neutral site. Neb said no, and Neb. wanted to play in the middle of the season and bsu said no.
who does bsu think they are to call thier shots against the big boys? i don't want to hear no one will play them, it's not true.

when did nebraska become a shot caller again?

they took on the #10 team in the nation basically in their back yard.... i don't think they're ducking programs as much as they just want home and homes probably, who the F wants to go to boise, idaho in nov.?

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! I love it.

Great article in the local paper today where Mathews was talking about how he had 60 kids on his team the Va Tech didn't want and how not a single kid on JMU didn't even so much as make a visit to Va Tech. Saying there was no way that JMU is supposed to beat Tech.

Go Dukes

Why should they go 2 for 1 against nebraska? This aint 1985 anymore.

and Darren....they ARE one of the big boys now. No one wants play them, especially in Idaho. Think any of the vaunted SEC teams would ever venture onto the blue field when Jacksonville state is available? C'mon give them their due. Under the theory you guys operate on the NCAA basketball tourney should be reduced to 8 teams and lesser conference teams like Memphis and Butler shouldn't be invited. I read a story today stating that even though the writer had them ranked as the 2nd best team in the country because JMU beat Va Tech, Boise shouldn't play in the nat'l championship game. What kind of ****in logic dictates that the 2nd best team in the country shouldn't play in the title game because of what another team does? If they are so unworthy then what is the big deal? They will get killed in the championship game anyway? Right? They are the best thing that has happened to college football in that their continued success will eventually force a change to a playoff.

After yesterday it might be fair to ask if the WAC is that much worse than the ACC this year.

VA Tech lost to FCS James Madison.
GA Tech lost to Kansas....who was coming off a 6-3 loss to an FCS school.
Florida St didn't even belong on the same field as Oklahoma
and while Virginia and Miami weren't horrible in games against talented opponents....they still lost.

Clemson, on the other hand, did manage to to follow up their Week1 win over the always-dominant North Texas with a Week2 score over mighty Presbyterian.

So let's say (hypothetically) that Clemson runs the table and goes undefeated and there is only one other major-conference unbeaten....we'll say Oklahoma. Does Clemson deserve a shot at the championship game or should they, like Boise, be passed over by a one-loss SEC team, because the ACC sucks?

Texas which is the biggest NCAA football program out there plays 2 teams this year ranked in the top 25. Assuming they get to the Big 12 championship game against Nebraska they will play 3 ranked teams including the same team twice. They also play powerhouses Rice, Wyoming, UCLA (who lost at home to Stanford 35-0), Iowa State (who lost to iowa 35-7), Baylor (who is probably going to be a 18pt underdog to TCU this week), Kansas state (who was less than impressive against UCLA which stinks), Florida Atlantic (a sunbelt team), Ok state (who just beat Troy by 3) and texas A&M. Tougher than Boise's schedule? Yeah but hardly the gauntlet that you'd be led to believe that every BCS conference school plays.


And America wants to see them as well

Paterno died last night. Don't worry...he'll be on the field. Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Silverman will carry him out.
