I'm thinking 4th is kinda getting some respect
Texas lost without McCoy, and Florida whipped Cinci, I'm thinking those two issues impacted votes. Hard for them to move ahead of Florida & Texas.
BTW: I'd rather see it resolved on the field, but polls are what they are

So what? Doesn't mean they are a better team, only they were the better team on that day.
Clippers beat the Lakers the other night, so are the Clippers better than the Lakers? Of course not.
And yes the pointspread set by oddsmakers isn't the most accurate reflection of the chances of a team but its close. To say it has a small meaning is ridiculous. We'd all be rolling in money if they were so off on a regular basis.
imo Boise would be serious underdogs to the likes of Florida, Alabama, Florida and Ohio State. Now if you want a playoff format to see if Boise can beat the odds that's fine. But to actually believe Boise is on the same level as those teams is insane.
Really? Was Bama so dominant last night that you can say that?
The BCS did a wonderful job this year, and really did what they were supposed to do. Boise's BCS win was minimized because it was only against TCU. Having the two "Cinderella" teams play each other was the easiest decision because the public would probably just say who ever lost just didnt deserve to be there.
Boise beat the team that many, before kickoff, believed was the best team in the state of Texas. But since TCU lost, no one has said that since. Had Boise and TCU played other opponents, we as fans would have been able to see exactly how good each team was.
It's all about money; power; good old boys..>>
But; sooner or longhorns(later); it will become evident there is much, much , more money to be made with a playoff system; and true semi-final and final games that will create revenue greater than all current bowl and BCSrevenue; teams not in elite 8; or 16; can always go to bowl games; that will be entertainment; and tourist enticing events; that they were created to be.
JMHO

could upset a Bammy, Fla, Tex; but, Boise will lose if taken seriously..!~~~!
PS; I do think Boise is an amazing franchise; and can play with anyone but the top 3 to 4 teams,

The one rather large negative that BOISE STATE has is they do not play two or three very good teams withing a span of four weeks or less, giving them time to be both mentally and physically prepared for their "tough" games.
Playing tough and physical teams almost every week in the top conferences will simply wear down even the best of teams...........and will also cause a team many, many more injuries over a course of a season.
BOISE STATE has never had to contend with this, and this is the biggest agrument I think anyone can have against them.

Another useless thread involving lack of respect, what a team is ranked at the end of the year, or which is the better conference. Thats what this sport is always reduced to during their Postseason months. Does CBB talk about this nonsense in March, or Does the NFL bring up which Conference or Division is better in January or who is better after playoffs are done, or Baseball on which team is better after October baseball is completed, or Is the East better then the West in the NBA during June. Should Orlando be thought of as better then San Antonio in June after they are done playing. Looks like most of you are brainwashed with this system, that you are even be talking about this nonsense.
Was bama That dominant last Night ? No...but they Got the Job done.
Please don't Compare TCU to a Team like Bama
Believe me I HATE the BCS and what it stands for.....Still waiting for a Playoff Type of Championship Game......
But I Believe ( IMO ) if Boise St. Played a team like Alabama
4 out of 5 Times, Bama would Win.
