A complete joke as usual but that is to be expected from the BCS. The whole process is a joke & I am not just saying this because of Boise State. All of these polls are flawed. They clearly continue to not take into account what happened on the field. Look at how going into Saturday, a 1 loss South Carolina was behind a 1 loss Alabama team that they dominated & beat by double digits. Yet because of previous rankings, built in champion bias, etc.... they were behind them.
I don't argue with Oklahoma being #1 for now, they have at least played a decent OOC schedule, something they usually do. However the case could be made for Oregon or Boise at #1 as well. Overall let it stand because Oklahoma is a weak #1 as the momentum from other teams will probably get them leapfrogged anyhow.

Oregon played Portland State... Not us.
But yes, Hawaii and Missouri State could go either way. Texas is down this year. All the Nebraska win for them proved was that the Big 12 is having a bad year. Oklahoma is one of the few teams I think belongs in the top 5 (Oregon doesn't), but the Sooner schedule isn't really that tough.
(sarcasm starts here, don't be pissed, you know I love ya) You guys have so many tough games. Mighty New Mexico and Portland State must have been torture. Playing at the worst team in the SEC was BRUTAL! You guys have to go at FREAKING CAL! (who lost to Nevada by double digits, a slightly above average WAC team). Then you have scary ass USC!!!! (who barely beat one of the top 100 teams in the nation in the WAC's Hawaii). OOOOO! One of the season enders is a home game against Arizona. I SHIT MY PANTS THINKING ABOUT IT! They only lost to Oregon State (Beavers on the road, by the way) by 10 or so. Boise only beat Oregon State by double digits. THE HORRORS OF YOUR PAC-10 SCHEDULE!
anybody who thinks OU doesn't belong in the top 5 is just fucking with me....
and who cares what the pollsters think anyway....i'm already tired of hearing people say the human polls don't carry enough weight....hmm, the same people who had va tech ranked in the top 10? florida (i was one of them)? texas? usc in the top 15? penn st. in the top 20? georgia in the top 25? every year like clockwork, NO FEWER than 3 top 10 teams as decided by the humans go on to lose 5 or more games.....
we humans should get over ourselves....imagine the excitement if the first human poll (well, the ones that mattered anyway) was released for the first time at the same time as the BCS poll?

So if Okla and Oregon or even Auburn run the table with their schedules you think Boise should still get a shot at the title ahead of those teams. I asume you do alot of screaming at your tv set because most commentators on TV sees the Pac 10 as the toughest conference this year, not the WAC !! Just look up strength of schedule anywhere and you'll see your argument is not valid here. You should just accept your not getting inot the game, so stay out of the big boy arguments. !!
Every team schedules a Portland St or a new Mexico, the only difference is, you schedule 8-9 of these teams. You realize that in Conference play, teams from the power conferences are going to beat each other. One team has to lose in each game, conference is tough if your paying attention, so if AZ loses to OSU all of a sudden AZ is no good, but hey they did beat Iowa !! UCLA loses to Stanford , but they can beat Texas !! BTW your sure not playing anyone of the caliber of Stanford this year !
Arizona beat Iowa because of BS and you know that. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they lost because they were one of the few legit top 5 teams Boise had to compete with. That being said, those teams could play 100 games and Iowa would win 95 of them. PS, the WAC is stuck with their schedule. Oregon could have scheduled some real out of conference teams like Alabama and others have done. They chose not to. Either way, I like Oregon. They are fun to watch. The fact of that matter that you will have to realize is that they have no defense and the offense doesn't work against legit defenses (Boise State, cough).
On the plus side, just think of how pissed off we can get if Oregon and Boise play in the title game this year. I hope to convey slobbery anger through my posts. We'll see.
There is a decent chance we will lose a game, alot more of a chance to lose a game then your team does. hard to lose when your favored by 40 every game. The major 1 loss teams will still get in ahead of Boise anyway so come December we'll come in and see how your doing. BTW Your the only one that thinks the Pac 10 is weak this year. Most think the Pac 10 is the toughest conference this year.
Boise would have won that game by 10 if they didn't start to play prevent (on offense too). That is the one thing I don't like about Peterson. We get up by 20 and then let other teams come back by making it easy. It's worked just fine, but sometimes it backfires. Peterson wasn't the coach of the OU game, but it holds true.
PS, I am perfectly fine dishing and receiving. We will be arguing about football all year. Cheers (thanks for keeping it civil).
