Bama... and Florida.... even Texas.... for the most part have been lucky and squeaking by.... with All American senior QB's and most of their team returning.


Texas only squeaked by once and that was as expected since it was OU, they've won all their other games quite comfortably and unless Oklahoma state can knock them off this weekend they'll probably be in the championship game

jack, i wasnt crying about auburn getting screwed , i was just pointing out the fact that the sec doesnt always get the benifit of the doubt and i use auburn as my example. iam not saying that usc or oklahoma didnt deserve to be there. i know usc blasted oklahoma in the game, but then again they normally do lose there bowl game. same with ohio state, so maybe the bcs should stop picking them , i know they have automatics because of the conference champions. also that doesnt mean that auburn wouldnt have beat either usc or oklahoma. the other thing is u list all the schools with championships, just keep in mind that most of those championships where won with out even playing bowl games. so hate the bcs or not atleast #1 has to play #2, how u get there is a good debate, but its better then the old system. i dont get why u think the bcs has such bias towards the sec and big12, they each get one automatic, but yet the big10 has the most bcs appearances which must mean that they where taken as at larges. last point about the auburn thing, lsu was #2 and they beat the #1 oklahoma in the bcs game, but yet usc got to share the tittle, ur point just doesnt make sense , so just beacuse #1 beat #2 they get the tittle outright but if #2 beats #1 then #3 gets to share the tittle. iam just saying its odd

No... I don't think that it's because 1 beats 2 or anything like that... But if they determine a 1,2,3 and 4 and they are close in the rankings... and 2 beats 1 and 3 beats 4... You still have to look at the wins... SC split that and got the AP, because they (the AP) felt SC was better and should have been in the game anyway... I think it is a very hard thing..... determining a Champion based on two teams winning a Championship game... when a system puts those two teams there.

If Auburn would have clobbered Virginia Tech... and SC just got by Oklahoma... I would have given them part of that Championship if it was up to me. It's not that they both won their Bowls and ended up undefeated... But how they won.

The problem with the PAC10 is they never get an at-large (Well.. not never... but it's rare) Say this year Oregon or USC have two loses.... Oregon will be to USC... and Boise State... USC would be against Washington... and Oregon... depending on who wins this Saturday.... Cal.. has only lost to Oregon and USC.... it can play out like this... USC 11-1 Oregon 10-2 and Cal 10-2
Do you think they will give a PAC10 10-2 team an at-large over the SEC, Big12 or Big10 10-2 teams?

It isn't that I am saying the PAC10 is getting screwed... I'm only saying the conf isn't the cupcake... USC & Pac9 that everyone outside the west thinks.

Don't get me wrong.... I love college football... more-so than pro... I'm an SC Football and Lakers fan... But I love watching most all games.... love the SEC teams... Just some of the SEC fans knowledge cracks me up... Hey... I played college ball... a wide receiver... 6'4" 225lb 4.4-40 guy... I went to 5 different H.S. in 3 years and 3 states... played all the sports... I've lived in Mississippi, Iowa, Idaho and Cali... I love it all... just won't listen to stuff that doesn't make any sense. Fan bias is no different that religion and politics... People only see & know what they want to.

I'm not knocking the SEC... I am only trying to show... college football is more competitive than some here think... and a team that is up or down today.... it can be a different story tomorrow... But because one guy is up today... you can't know how good or bad his competition is... This is why I don't love polls.... Only a few teams live up to a pre season poll... And when you start stroking conferences... and creating a more competitive schedule based on the conf... Things are being distorted.

What I mean is.... Teams with the same record.. playing tougher games... aren't being ranked when teams with the same record... playing easier games... but supposedly in a tougher conference are being ranked.

And denny.... I'm only voicing my opinion..... I'm loving the games... although I wish some teams would play better... but some have played great. It's been exciting.

Oh.. and Straightup.... Ya.... I like throwing those numbers around..... It makes this forum stuff a bit more fun

we found middle ground jack, i also dont think the pac10 is a cupcake conf., i really enjoy watching that conf. play. its just my opinion that they are not as good as the sec, thats the point of this forum to express opinions and debate, i think thats what we are both doing here.you say usc and the pac9, to b honest that is what people think, you have to admit when u see a single dominate that long, people do start to see it that way. also u ask "Do you think they will give a PAC10 10-2 team an at-large over the SEC, Big12 or Big10 10-2 teams? i would say this year maybe, who would they take outta the big12 as of right now( other then the longhorns).in the sec its hard, i mean if both bama and the gators go undefeated and meet in the sec champ. game, then they are both going to bcs bowl games. i do want topoint out something when u say people see what they want to, u say going to n.d. is a big win, iam not saying its not, but unless nd beats pitt they will not have beat a ranked team all year.it just seems ur quick to dismiss the florida/fsu as a big game. its the same game as usc/nd. also i do agree with you on college being more competiteve, i think its very competiteve, and i think thats a great think. but i think people shouldnt have a knee jerk reaction, look at cinncy, i think they have a really good team, but they have not beat a ranked team yet, hell if they dont beat pitt they wont beat a ranked team either. i like to see up and coming programs such as them but they play in a bcs conf., so i think if u have a major grip with any conf. it should b the big east not the sec or big12

the fact is u can make a case against any of the top 5 or 6 teams, look the horns big win is against a 3 loss team. usc lost to a 4 or 5 lose team. cinncy hasnt beat a ranked team.u say "Texas only squeaked by once and that was as expected since it was OU', but the fact is for both bama and florida the tenn. game is a really big rivialry, so if u are going to say that its cool for the horns to squeak past o.u. then the same has to go for bama/gators. usc gets credit for going to ohio state and winning they just got beat by purdue and also they( usc) beat n.d, well nd hasnt beat a ranked team either. again iam just pointing out the fact that u can make a case against any of the teams, i think all of these teams are really good, just making a point. last boise state, they play 1 big game all year, yes they beat a good team in the ducks, but thats all they play. just take a look at the rest od there sch. its really weak, i would say alot weaker then anyone else in the top 10

denny... I actually agree with you on everything.... I have been discussing this to only make the point that it is more competitive than what people think... The close games that Bama, Florida and Texas have had.. is only to point out... they are not just killing people every week.... And for those that have lost ... like Notre Dame... they have been close games by decent teams... including Florida State... They have played tough games... their record doesn't tell you who they are.... a Florida State team that can clobber a BYU team at BYU is a good football team.. BYU isn't a great team... But they are a Good team... one that proves they can win an important game... as well they can lose one. Florida State could beat Florida... So of course they are a tough team to play... But playing a ranked team on the road... should be considered a bit tougher... when it comes to these silly polls. Ohio State, Notre Dame, Oregon, Cal, Arizona State and Washington are some of the toughest stadiums to play in... All of the tough stadiums are not just in the SEC.

My comment on Florida's sched... Is that they play all but one, I think OOC's at home... and really only play Florida State... A good team.. like Notre Dame... a good... not a great team. Florida doesn't play Bama and Ole Miss in Conf... and I believe only play 4 games on the road... This really for a Championship team is a weak sched... But hey... if they win out... and beat an undefeated Bama... They deserve to go... But I would say... If Oregon or USC would have been undefeated as well... It would have been hard to accept a 13-0 Florida over a 12-0 USC. Because of their schedules... But I believe you would of heard the calls.... Florida plays in the SEC a tougher conf... and should go... You see my point... You can't throw out a tougher schedule over a tougher conference.

^^^ jack u make some great points, but it would mean that there would have to 3 inbeaten teams in the example u give about accepting a 13-0 gators over a 12-0 usc, plus that cant happen anyway sine usc has already lost. also u point out washington is a tuff place to play, well lsu went there and beat them, usc lost there, so if came down to a 1 lose team getting in would u take lsu over usc? i must say that i would take a team in the tougher conference, that means ( to me ) they play better talent week in and week out. but let me ask u this, if cinncy goes 12-0 , would u take them over 11-1 usc?

Hey... I gave LSU props for winning at Washington.... and I hate excuses... There are things to look at between both games played at Washington... USC and LSU... Remember... the True Freshman took over when Corp got hurt... That's why Barkley got the starting job... But he has proved... and deserves it... and when Barkley got hurt at Ohio State... leaving a still recovering Corps to play that Washington Game... well... The results were ugly... and it was against coaches who know USC better than anyone... since they were USC's O and D coordinators just the year before... besides going into a fire-up rejuvenated hostile stadium with a team that just gave LSU a run for their money. Still SC should have won... There are no excuses if they want to compete with undefeated teams.

Now... In saying that.... was USC a better team the week they played Washington than LSU was the week they played Washington.... Obviously not.... LSU won.... But this is why you don't base teams success on any given games... You look at how they come together... improve... and play at the end of the year.... Sure a teams record counts.... USC may have messed up... and may not have a chance to prove they can beat the other best teams in the nation... But you can't determine if LSU or USC is better based on Washington.

Personally... Like I have said many times... This is a rebuilding year for SC... They are doing good for a rebuilding SC team... If it wasn't for the experience of the O-line and D-backs... They might have serious problems... The Line-Backers are showing the have the same intensity as those guys we lost last year... and the D-line is playing good... I believe SC is somewhere, maybe even first in sacks. The Running Backs and Receivers are OK... Really Good... but not great...

Anyway... sure I am an SC fan... they have a great program... are they the best team in the country? I don't think so... They can compete... But they still lack a little experience and it shows in the offense.

But... I will say.... I'm not impressed with anyone else either. There is no one out there playing... like they are the best team in the nation...

Iowa... Cinci... Texas... Bama... Florida.... I mean... who is being impressive? I have watched some great games with Miami, Virg Tech, Georgia Tech... and some others... But are they the best teams... well, they have all lost a game or two...

I wish the politics were not a factor... and we watched the games.... and then there was a playoff championship... just like in every other sport..... There has been a lot of Super Bowl Champions with worst records than those they beat.

When it comes to good programs... the competition is so close that any given team... can win on any given day.

Texas OU is on of the biggest rivalries on football, this year was special big because of what happened last year everyone knew going into that game that it was never going to be a blowout. My point is that OU is the only team that's even come close to Texas this year, they ain't just squeaking by teams, they are winning blowouts

iam not saying that texas doesnt belong, iam just saying that u can make a case against them as well. gators vs vols isa hige game as well same as vols vs bama, there both huge games. texas hasent really beat anyone real good, also just keep in mind that the 2 good teams they beat, both of them teams didnt have there best players.just poninting it out. if the horns go unbeaten they deserve to play in the bcs nat champ. game. iam just saying you can make a case against any of them

Well.... It was not a good night for me.... Even though SC is struggling... I was hoping they could overcome that hurdle....

Their D has slipped big time... Not sure what it is, they have the speed and talent... but seem to be going half speed.... They really have sucked on D for the last 3 games. I still think SC is a great team... and will win a lot of games... But Oregon looked tough... Their D was tough and O was fast and hitting on all cylinders.

I know the Offense was missing a few key players... but a lot of teams miss players... it's no excuse... You could see it in Carroll's face pretty much all year... he has been nervous. At Arizona State and playing Arizona and Stanford... They still can loss another game... Not to mention UCLA... who isn't as good, but always gives them a game.

I don't think LSU is that good... but I do think they can beat Bama, who is their toughest game... and could win out... But Florida clicked finally against Georgia... I think it really is up to Florida to lose the SEC... same as Texas in the Big 12.

I think Boise State will go undefeated... and perhaps TCU... But Iowa and Cinci... may have some trouble.

If Texas and Florida remain undefeated they will be in the game. If Bama pulls an SEC upset undefeated... of course they will go instead of Florida.

But if it ends up to one loss teams... Oregon would have just as much right as any other one loss team.

I don't see that though.... I think we will have an undefeated Texas and Florida.

and denny is right... all of the teams have looked horrible... and they have looked good... I believe the competition is much better than what most expected.

Boise BCS blocked

By Dan Wetzel, Yahoo! Sports
Nov 7, 1:51 am EST

Buzz up! PrintRUSTON, La. – Is it cowardice or collusion?

Boise State athletic director Gene Bleymaier is all but begging for a major opponent – any major opponent – to play his Broncos, particularly in 2011. He can hardly get his calls returned. Not by the SEC. Not by the Big Ten. Not by anyone.

Bleymaier is making a nearly unheard of offer in college football scheduling – Boise will bring its popular, high-profile, top-10 team to any stadium in any town to play any big name team in America in 2011. And they don’t have to return the date in Idaho.

So far, no one has bit.

ESPN has even become involved trying to broker a deal that will almost assuredly be nationally televised. Still no luck.

Other Popular Sports StoriesNBA star hits wild off-the-wall shot Notre Dame's BCS dreams take a hit More From Dan WetzelFlorida's punishment of Spikes doesn't fit crime Nov 2, 2009 Alabama's Cody mounts Heisman campaign Oct 24, 2009 ADVERTISEMENT


It’s the kind of non-conference game that should have schools salivating. Boise delivers an opponent that will challenge your players, exposure that will extend your brand and a home game that will excite your fans.

“It’s been surprising how many big schools have not been receptive of us coming to their place,” Bleymaier said.

This is the conundrum for the upstart program and every non-major conference school trying to battle for national respect.

Boise is 44-4 over the past four seasons, including 4-1 against major conference opponents. Yet that doesn’t guarantee the Broncos a slot in a big money BCS bowl due to the level of competition they play in the Western Athletic Conference.

The school acknowledges it needs to play tougher teams. Yet how can they beat quality opponents if quality opponents won’t play them?

What Boise is left with is games like Friday’s here. They traveled 2,000 miles to beat Louisiana Tech 45-35, a conference game, and improve to 9-0 on the season. For that they practically had to apologize because it wasn’t a blowout.

“That’s how it always is when we play,” coach Chris Petersen said. “It’s never good enough. It’s good enough for us, we won. If you’re looking to win by so much, if you’re looking for style points, if you’re looking to play for the polls, which we’re not, it’s not going to be good enough.”

Petersen has had it with arguing about whether the Broncos deserve a BCS bid. All he can do is win games. His team beat the one major opponent that would play them this year – a 19-8 victory over Oregon in the season opener. That same Oregon team is now 8-1.

Yet he deals with questions about who his team plays in the WAC. Boise won consecutive games this year by a combined score of 99-16 and dropped from No. 4 to No. 7 in the BCS standings. Petersen said he wouldn’t be surprised if they dropped again this week. They may again put together a perfect season only to be left out.

The only answer is to play better non-conference opponents. Next season they have games against Oregon State and Virginia Tech. After that though, things may be drying up. In 2011, they can’t get one game, let alone two.

So are the big schools scared of playing Boise? Avoiding tough non-conference opponents is the new trend in college football thanks to the BCS. The championship system discourages dangerous, if exciting, out-of-league scheduling as it continues to sap the life out of the regular season.

Or, perhaps, this is how the major conferences are going to deal with the Broncos.

Put it this way, if no one good agrees to play Boise then Boise can’t beat anyone any good. And if Boise can’t beat anyone any good, then how can they ever argue they’re deserving of a spot in a $17.5 million BCS bowl?

“I don’t think it’s collusion,” Bleymaier said. “I think it’s athletic directors going to their football coaches and saying, ‘hey, what about playing this school?’ If coaches had their druthers they’d play sisters of the poor 11 times.”

Still, the frustration is obvious.

“Some of those schools that are saying ‘let them play our schedule’ won’t play us,” Bleymaier said.

That no one will accept Boise State’s offer is absurd. This isn’t a decade ago, when playing the program was no-win situation. If you won, you were supposed to win because no one had heard of them. If you lost (which was likely) it was a disaster.

There can’t be any college fans left who don’t know how good Petersen’s team is. A game against Boise would bolster anyone’s home schedule. It would be a huge game. The television exposure would be invaluable.

Maybe Florida and Texas don’t need a game with Boise (they can ride non-conference cupcakes to the title game). A middle of the pack Big Ten or Big 12 team certainly does though. Boise’s program is more famous than all of them – the Broncos are on true national television seven times this season alone.

Yet no one wants the game. They’ll schedule mismatches from the old Division I-AA instead (and charge full ticket price). Bleymaier has to keep his composure as he listens to the critics.

Last year Utah went 13-0 yet didn’t have a chance to play for the BCS title. At a Congressional subcommittee hearing University of Nebraska chancellor and BCS figurehead Harvey Perlman was asked what the Utes could’ve done differently.

“They could have played the schedule Nebraska did,” Perlman said.

While it’s par for the course for the BCS to have a leader who has no idea how college football works, what can a Boise State do in the face of that kind of ignorance?

Would Boise accept an invitation to join the Big 12?

“Yeah, of course,” Bleymaier said. “If we were in their conference we’d play that schedule.”

Not only is that not happening they can’t get one game against the league. While Bleymaier won’t say specifically which schools have turned him down, he will say that the open date remains – Sept. 3, 2011. The offer stands, the Broncos will go anywhere.

And, lo and behold, guess which major conference school happens to have an open date? How about Harvey Perlman’s Nebraska, the one-time powerhouse which could use all the big attention grabbing games it can get these days?

Don’t hold your breath on that one – chicken or collusion, the result is the same


Thought I would share this.

They will never got the nod over Texas but you could make a strong case for them playing in the BCS championship game specially if they beat Utah on Saturday. Even If the top 3 teams lose they would still probably have to settle for a Fiesta bowl or Sugar bowl

This wouldn't be a problem if... (insert this is why we need playoffs rant here)

I read the article too Mgm...

The BCS has made it so that it takes teams like boise state out of the mix for a good non-confernce schedule. Why would Florida risk taking on Boise?..there is no reason for it. They play a good in conference schedule and schedule cupcakes out of conference to stay undeafted.

Florida, or Texas, or name any other big program has no reason to play a tough out of conference schedule. Urban Meyer plays it very smart.

I give Pete Carrol some credit for scheduling tough teams out of the pac 10, and at least attempting to toughen it up. Dont get me wrong, they still play the San Jose states of the world, but going to Ohio State(even though I think they horribly overrated) is tough for any team to play in.

Nebraska 2 years ago played 12 games...8 were home games. There out of confernce schedule was horrible. They know if they play in the big 12 champ game and win..they might play for a national champ or at the very least a bcs game. So why would Nebraska risk playing Boise and losing?...there is NO gain for them at all.

Someone please explain to me how Oregon is ranked 13th in the Bcs and Usc is ranked 9th?

Im a big Pete Carrol backer, but if you break this down it makes NO sense...

Usc loses to washington, and Oregon...
Oregon loses to a decent Stanford team and a very good Boise team...and BEAT usc by 27 fricking points and are behind them int he rankings?...really?

If this doesnt prove the BCS is failing...nothing will...

^^ let me start by saying i agree with the point u make but at this point between those 2 schools ( usc and oregon) it really doesnt matter. the winner of that conference will go to the rose bowl if it is one of them and the second place team will go to some other bowl game , again i agree with the point u make but it doesnt matter where they are ranked as of right now the same goes to bama and florida, it doesnt matter if they are #1 and #2, #1 and #3 or #2 and#3, the fact is if they both stay unbeaten and face off in the sec champ.game the winner will go to the bcs champ. game, so u can debate where they belong also but it doesnt really matter , yet

Now, I'm an SC fan... and this also is screwy to me. Oregon manhandled SC... sure it was at Oregon,... but still, lets see what happens to Stanford at SC? SC better get some players back, they need the help.

What it will do is, I believe, if SC and Oregon, who are both two very good teams... win out... 10-2 Oregon is going to the Rose Bowl against a 2 loss Ohio State or 1 loss Iowa. which will make a 10-2 SC a likely at-large. The question is, if Texas wins out, and Florida beats Bama, Florida and Texas will probably go to the Champ game. Bama will play an at-large in the Sugar Bowl, someone like Georgia Tech will play someone like Cinci in the Orange Bowl. That leaves the Fiesta Bowl... and who in the Big12 behind Texas will deserve to go to that BCS Bowl against an at-large. Perhaps TCU and Boise State remain undefeated... can they both be an at-large? Guess we will have to watch all the games and see what happens. Any team can slip up.

In the Pac10 it can end like this though and should if the favorites win out.

Oregon 10-2 Pac 10 Champs
USC 10-2
Stanford 8-4
Arizona 8-4
Oregon St. 8-4
California 7-5
UCLA 6-6

A possible 7 teams, bowl eligible.

But like I said... Still a lot of games.... and anything can Happen.

Even if the top 3 teams lose they would still probably have to settle for a Fiesta bowl or Sugar bowl

utah is sold out this weekend.

FL shouldnt of won the game to LSU or Arkansas.


It would seem that for the last 4 weeks, either Florida or Alabama has benefited from poor officiating. The emerging opinion among some sports journalists is that the SEC will do anything to have one of their teams in the BCS.
I've said for a long time the pollsters are biased and skewed towards those who lose earlier in the season. I don't know how else Florida can lose at home, to Ol Miss (which I believe was unranked at that time) and still end up playing for the title over a 1 loss team like Texas, simply b/c Texas lost at the end of the year and didn't have time to 'make it up'

I don't know how Florida can be ranked #1 when they play tough teams like Charleston Southern, Troy and that exciting matchup to come against Florida Int'l.

The polls are stupid, suck and the BCS sucks. Networks collude to get the marquee names in the games they televise b/c of revenue. It's all about money, period, point blank, end of story.

ol miss was unranked at that time, didnt ole miss go on thr smack down texas tech? ya know the same team that beat texas, now iam not saying that ole miss is better then texas but what iam saying is ole miss turned out to be a pretty good team last year. the fact is florida has not lost, iam sure u can make a case like that against most teams, for example that job of officating was to good in the texas/ok. state game, anyone cry about that? the fact is the sec is the top dog and everyone is out to bring down the top dog, its just the way it is in sports. also look at texas outta conf. sch. its weak as well, then look at the fact that this year they reallly dont have another real good team in there conf. also before you jumped to the money thing just keep in mind that n.d. has its own contract with nbc, that has not paid off to much for the network, n.d sucks. but yes it is about money and the cbs singed a contract with the sec because they want the best conf. to televise. also if u want to make a consp. , ok oregon is in the drivers seat to win the pac10 and now they bring back there running back that sucker punched another player and then tried to go into the crowd to fight the fans, well i guess u could say thats odd timeing, oh well i guess its all how u look at it.
