Boise State will be ranked higher, Utah will have done more.

Based on? Utah will have won at TCU. Also have a game at Notre Dame too, which is better than anyone in the WAC outside of Boise.


A win at TCU is definately better than any Boise W, but easy on the praise for ND, they still blow.

I can see the BCS having a nightmare on their hands with the only undefeated teams left come December being Boise and Utah/TCU. Im not sure that the other conferences would let the national champion be one of those 3 teams.

I didn't say that ND was great, but they will be 8-4 and Utah is playing them in SB.

If Mich St wins in Iowa next week, they are running the table. Where do they fit? Not having Ohio St hurts a lot right now.

8-4 is a stretch, they still dont have the athletes to compete with a poorly coached SC team.

As for Mich State, beating Iowa is a huge if. I still think they dont go undefeated, just an opinion.

7-5 most likely. More importantly is all eyes will be on Utah in a rare national tv game for them. They can get some style points. The Nevada loss at Hawaii was not good for Boise.

The Nevada loss was a killer as was Va Tech JMU loss.

I still believe that noone can know for sure who the best team in the country is without a playoff type system. Boise has beaten every team that was put on a field with them. Alot of BCS schools/fans want to minimize Boise, but none want to go head to head with them.

Utah showed us a couple years ago that the SEC isnt faster than the rest of the country because they were the faster team when they played Bama.

The same people that want to question Boise's schedule will have no problem with Mich State in the title game when Mich State plays: Western Michigan, Florida Atlantic, Northern Colorado, Illinois, Northwestern, Minnesota and Purdue. If you add ND, Mich, Wisc and Iowa is that a tougher schedule than Boise plays, a bunch of cupcakes added to Va Tech, Oreg St, Nevada, Fresno. You can make a case for each team having the tougher schedule.

Im not a huge Boise fan, but would like to see them get a fair shot. If they are not in the title game, then put them up against the SEC Champ or at least #3 or #4 team so we can get an idea how good or bad they really are. Dont put them against another non BCS school or the weaker BCS schools like the Big East or ACC. The BSC hierarchy can put all this Boise talk to rest if they put them against one of the premier programs. Oh wait, they tried that already with Oklahoma.

BOISE STATE should be pulling for UTAH to beat TCU...........as UTAH will not pass BSU in the BCS rankings, but if TCU is still undefeated and they defeat an undefeated Utah club,..........TCU will be the team passing Boise State in the BCS rankings.

Hawaii will be ranked when they play at Boise. If Boise can get past them they will also play a ranked Nevada team.

A big part of the BCS is where teams start out. I don't think Utah is high enough, now, to pass Boise even if both teams win out.
