Hey, if they have one loss, I'm fine with them dropping out of contention of the NC, 'cause that's the same for pretty much any team.

MBK:
I wonder if that farktard that keeps voting Boise State #1 will still vote for them now they lost to an unranked TCU game.

In case you're curious, that farktard is Scott Wolf (not the Party of Five actor), writer for the LA Daily News and USC beat writer. Here's last week's ballot if you're interested.

Warning: that blog is a breeding ground for stupidity and constant bickering.

It doesn't help that Scott Wolf seems to spend most of his free time hating on USC in an attempt to be controversial.

It was one entertaining game to watch though.

/and nobody, including the BCS, wants to see another yawner of a rematch between LSU and Bama

imapirate: Neither is Stanford's, Oregon's, Alabama's, Oklahoma's, Arkansas', Southern Miss' or Clemson's or any other one-loss team. What's your f*cking point?

lol ooo someone's getting shiatty cause their team lost.

Then you better prey that Ok St doesn't lose to Oklahoma in their last game of the season, or we will get that rematch.

Alabama is ahead far enough in the computer rankings that the only thing will prevent them from getting to the championship is if the pollsters jump Oklahoma (and maybe Oregon) ahead of them a couple spots in the final rankings.

If everyone ended up with one loss besides LSU (obviously Houston doesn't count here), I wouldn't mind if they just crowned LSU the champ. They would've beaten 9 ranked teams, including 4 top 10 teams this year.

If LSU wins out they have home field for the championship game (at New Orleans).

I do not want to see LSU win it all and was wondering what team could stop them. Oklahoma State has a late game with Oklahoma. If Ok. St. wins, they have the offense to put points on the board but defensive pressure is not there.

Oklahoma has a pseudo defense, if they play like they did against Florida State they might be able to get it done. If the defense that was playing against Texas Tech shows up, it will get ugly quick.
(PS... I hear that Mike Stoops is available and would make an awesome defensive coordinator)

I only watched the first quarter of the Oregon game and if they play like they did in the first quarter they have a shot at beating LSU.

If Alabama plays them again, I may have to hammer four of those 5 hour energy drinks to stay awake through it.

The only way I'd like cheer for LSU is if the Hogs (currently at #8) plays them.

Captain Steroid: What the hell were they doing wearing orange jerseys at home?! They gave up their advantage of optical camouflage!

THE FOOLS!

you do KNOW that there are conference rules....

Is the fail tag for subby's headline?

speaking of OK-OKlite, the we-deserve-it-you-dont-hand-wringing fireworks will be epic *IF* georgia manages to beat LSU in the SEC title game.

Now if only UGA can upset LSU in the SECC game and Oklahoma beats OSU then we will just have big ole giant BCS cluster. I doubt either of those scenarios happen but I really hope UGA beats LSU just to see the talking heads try to justify LSU or Bama playing for the national title without winning the SEC.

Captain Steroid: What the hell were they doing wearing orange jerseys at home?! They gave up their advantage of optical camouflage!

THE FOOLS!

The Mountain West made that a condition of their membership this year. No blue jerseys at home.

Anyways, the game should not have even come down to the missed FG. Sure, the TCU kicker screwed the pooch by kicking the ball out-of-bounds after the go-ahead touchdown. There was a bogus 10-yd defensive holding penalty and then a BS pass interference penalty on 4th and 10 on BSU's final drive. The "PI" that was called was an uncatchable ball and the refs should try their damnedest NOT to be the reason a team wins or loses. Prior to the snap, I told my wife that I thought BSU would get some penalty on their 4th and 10 to help them secure a win. The fact is the Mountain West NEEDED BSU to stay undefeated and the refs did their best to oblige. Good thing BSU's kicker choked. It actually isn't surprising that their kicker can't win games (see the Nevada game last year). They are so used to beating up on a bunch of scrubs that they never have actually kick a game winner.

LSU will lose to Arkansas in the season finale. This will put Georgia and ??? in the SEC playoff.

I think alabama but i'm not 100% about that. On tv yesterday they said it would go to the 7th tiebreaker which is BCS rank but there are some caveats in there as well depending on how the three teams are slotted in the BCS rankings compared to their head to head matchups with one another.

*that they never have TO actually kick a game winner

ugh, my damn toddler gets me up way too early

Bobblehead_Dave:

Was this seriously a bad game for everyone to watch? I thought it was riveting. Not the "game of the century" label it had affixed to it, but I saw a lot of great hitting and quality play from both sides (although the kicking and QB play wasn't very good).

I watched the Oregon/Stanford game last night and I saw a ton of missed tackles and missed opportunities. Just because it was high scoring didn't make it a better game.

I wouldn't mind seeing LSU/Alabama again, though I would prefer LSU/Ok St. for the contrasting styles (assuming Ok St. wins out). LSU/Oregon at the beginning of the year was pretty good.

So if LSU runs out and osu loses to OU how does bama deserve to play in the BCS championship if they aren't even playing in their own conference championship? I swear ESPN has a farking hardon for the SEC and is willing to toss its salad.

the tie breaker is highest BCS ranking, with the condition that if the top two ranked team are ranked within 5 spots in the BCS that it goes back to head to head between those teams. and it's highly likely that the top two will be within 5 spots. assuming that you have:

ark, bama, lsu = bama
bama, ark, lsu = bama
lsu, ark, bama = ark
ark, lsu, bama = ark
lsu, bama, ark = lsu
bama, lsu, ark = lsu

Oh sweet Jeebus, I RTFA. ESPN is comparing BSU's streaks to historically great teams. They don't even deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as some of these teams. It's almost as comparable to the UCONN women's basketball team trying to claim they beat the UCLA men's basketball streak record from the 70s. Ok, maybe not THAT bad of an apples and oranges argument...

Home win streak
Boise St. 65 2001-11
Miami (FL) 55 1985-94

Yep, without looking up the records I can go out on a limb and suggest that those MIami, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Florida St. teams all played ranked opponents multiple times at home, and kept winning. The only ranked opponent I can remember Boise St beating at home was a pre-season ranked Oregon that didn't do great that year.

/down play complete.

Well Boise South (St) had a great run, you don't expect a high school to be nationally ranked among college teams, so it was a great accomplishment.

tallguywithglasseson: Good, farking retarded they were even in the national champion conversation in the first place.

But but they can take LSU!
Hahahahahaha

PredDawg8: Is the fail tag for subby's headline?

No way. The fail is for Keebler for not making O'Boises anymore.

coolio mack: Was this seriously a bad game for everyone to watch? I

Yes. It was. That went beyond 2 great defenses and added 2 inept offenses.

Pratty: Hey, if they have one loss, I'm fine with them dropping out of contention of the NC, 'cause that's the same for pretty much any team.

All we need now is for OK St to lose to the Sooners and the BCS is a farking disaster. Can you say LSU and Bama rematch?

No, for a BCS disaster, we need LSU to lose too.

WHAT NOW.

I wonder if that farktard that keeps voting Boise State #1 will still vote for them now they lost to an unranked TCU game.

I just looked at that guys ballot, I loved how he had all the teams UGA plays over rated as well seeming to justify his choice, auburn at 13? Really? They maybe are in the 20s and after the blowout yesterday I'm not sure.

I want boise state vs UGA in any bowl game rematch, hopefully boise and their fans realize why we say playing even a half decent team in the middle of the season is different than playing one good team to start the season.

I will also laugh my ass off if boise goes into the big east and winds up a .500 team, even those teams are stronger than the shiat teams they play out there.

Boise's a very good team. Maybe not BCS worthy, but can we please stop with all this "if you're not the very very best you suck and haha!" mentality that has pervaded every single sport?

They lost to a very good TCU team. TCU's blown out almost everyone they played. They lost a nailbiter to Baylor to open the season, and later lost a somewhat puzzling game to Southern Methodist. This doesn't mean they suck.

And for everyone going "I hope they get a real tough bowl matchup so we can watch them lose," how's that worked out in the past few years? The Mountain West always performs well in bowl games, other than BYU. Don't forget about Utah Alabama.

/Note: For anyone who wants to cite Utah's struggles as evidence that the BCS conferences are tons tougher than the Mountain West, Utah lost their starting QB. That's tough.

It doesn't matter how crappy your schedule is. If you win your conference, you should have a shot at the national championship through a playoff.

MBK: I wonder if that farktard that keeps voting Boise State #1 will still vote for them now they lost to an unranked TCU game.

Of course, that's the problem of the present system and what happens when championships are selected instead of contested on the field. The same thing goes for the whole bogus polls system too. However, a playoff would fix those ills, or most of them. Who ever thought an undefeated run thru the freaking Mountain West conference could give a team a potential shot at a national championship....what a freaking bunch of crap.

Peter von Nostrand: See the year Oklahoma lost to K State and still wound up the BCS title game. They've done it before and don't care

Didn't OU get housed in that game?

I seem to remember lots of talk about how they'll never make the mistake of letting a non-conference winning team play in the game.

Of course, if LSU gets rofl-stomped by Georgia or USC in the SEC championship game, then Alabama would almost be free and clear to go without even being IN the championship game. That'd just be hilarious.

I enjoyed the LSU/Bama game.

The Stanford/Oregon game was really fun.
Oregon looks fast.

What I really hate about the BCS is when the computers put out results the voters disagree with, the computers are at fault. The computers are the most objective method of determining teams. Not perfect, but they won't change the criteria in the middle of a season like a voter.

So what do the voters like? In order
1) Conference champions
2) New Match-ups
3) Pre-season favorites.
4) SEC>Big10>Big12>Pac10>ACC

The Voters will drop Alabama down to avoid a rematch. They did it with Michigan/Ohio State a few years ago. They'll do it again, but the drop won't happen until after the SECC.

The Big 10 have no eligible teams this year.

Unless the entire state of Oklahoma shiats the bed (OSU losing to OU, the OU losing in the championship game). The Big 12 has one ticket reserved for the Championship game.

Oregon needs the SEC (Arkansas/Bama/LSU) to somehow f*ck it all up to get another shot.

Pretty much. Boise doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as those teams. Those are four of the great runs in NCAA history that involved beating a lot of amazing teams. Boise's spent a decade beating a bunch of glorified community colleges at home and barely beating a Virginia Tech team that everyone who watches CFB knows always farks up early in the year before they finally get their shiat together and win out.

Look, Boise apparently can't get through one season in which they only play one real team. What makes anyone think they would get through undefeated in any of the major conferences. They'd be 4-4 in the ACC, let alone the SEC or Big 12.

Yep...but then in 2006 Herbstreet lobbied hard for a OSU/Mich rematch and then uf destroyed the buckeyes. One year later he does a 180 and lobbies against UGA because they didn't win their conference or division even though they were probably playing the best football at the time. The messier it gets the closer we get to having a plus one format.
