The Bearcats gave up 45 points at home to the mighty UCONN Huskies. I think Pat Hill is right on this one. The Broncos are better than Cinci. But everything else looks about accurate. But you think the ugly Ducklings are crying? They beat USC but USC is ranked 6 spots ahead in the USA Today Poll.

Given that I've been insisting all season what a crime it would be if Oregon jumped Boise State in the polls, I have to say that it is just as much of a crime that Oregon would fall below USC. USC loses a game to 3-6 Washington, who Oregon routed, while Oregon loses to a bowl eligible team that USC hasn't played yet.

You don't even have to refer to their head-to-head to show that Oregon is obviously the better team.

That Humanitarian Bowl looking pretty good to you now?

How could you possibly rate Boise St above TCU? TCU has been far more impressive and consistent.

for the winter! They thought BSU was so overated and look what happens, you lose to unranked Stanford! That's too bad.

Cripe, you are such a homer. How could you possibly objectively rank BSU above TCU?

because, according to Murph, Boise isn't a football town anyway and we wouldn't want to disappoint him...Sunny...

How can USC possibly be ranked higher than Oregon? They both have two losses, but Oregon beat USC decisively! Stuff like that makes me hate college football.

I will take your rankings over Pratter any day. Losing GameDay does not surprise me; both BSU and Idaho looked bad this week. GO BSU!!!

BSU is not BCS worthy. All you Bronco fans must have been watching a different game then I was. They almost got beat by a pretty cr%py team and they dont even deserve to be in the top 10. NO BCS BOWL FOR BSU> Maybe they can win the H-BOWL if they play Bishop Kelly!

Gotta love a lot of the games yesterday. As far as the rankings I can't see Cinnci above the Broncos. With 2 common oponents we beat both worse, Fresno and Miami OH. TCU is on a roll but there again as Chad says we have more and better wins over ranked opponents. A ranked Utah will be a good game for them and should quiet voices. It'll be interesting to see what the BCS does if they have 2 undefeated non BCS teams at the end. Might be a little credibility on the line.

is understandable. The weak win against La Tech sends the signal that the Broncos have so many troubles that they can't be taken seriously as a top team. When taken as a whole, this years team has struggled when they should not have had to and didn't put games away when they should have. The bottom line is, this team can't execute well enough in the red zone to be considered a top tier team.

I watched in amazement as Avery was called to go up the middle time and again despite never making much progress there. Who was calling those plays? The O line just could not open a hole for him, but there he was, up the middle again for maybe a couple or three. That guy can run when given a chance but not up the middle, at least not as well as he can if they mix the plays up more than they do. It sounds goofy to complain about a player's 146 yard game but it could have been 200 or so it seems to me.

All in all you have to be supportive of the team when they win but as a fan, I expect more when I know the ability is there. This team is underachieving and I have to think it is because of the quality of the teams they play. Teams tend to play to their opponents level. And yes, I understand we have little control over who we play. But it still is an issue that will not go away regardless of who is at fault, if anyone is.

to somehow be able to let ESPn know that it is not happy with the favoritism towards to MWC. TCU is a great team but so is BSU. However, ESPN trying to pimp TCU and doing all it can to show BSU in a bad light, is horribly inconsistent.

It would be cool to get ready to start the game Saturday...then tell ESPNu to shu their cameras down and exit the stadium. Have nothing but blank Air.

Sounds right...

These young BSU players have done nothing but win. Some how though their wins don't add up to Oregon or USC or other so called big ticket team losses. In the NFL wins get you to the Superbowl (not style points), in college they add up to you didn't win pretty enough. In the LA Tech game these young men traveled across the country, delivered a great 1st half, fell off a little in the 3rd quarter and showed awsome character and resolve. They as a team stepped up and delivered a 10 point win(not just 3or 6 or 7)that many teams in that situation would die for. These players don't give up and that makes them champions. So ESPN, who cares if Boise is not good enough for you, TCU never delivered you a Fiesta Bowl win for the ages. At the end of the day a win is a win and always great.

Bronco fans shouldn't take offense by ESPN's decision to showcase the TCU/Utah game this Saturday. Boise State is a great team--a great program. But this isn't about ESPN picking TCU instead of BSU. It's about the matchups, and Boise State v. Idaho isn't an intriguing matchup.

The fact that College GameDay has NEVER come to Boise, ID (or any other WAC venue) is because the WAC doesn't produce quality matchups. The only game that may have come close was Hawai'i/Boise State in 2007. Both teams were nationally-ranked and the game had significant BCS implications. Alas, that was a Friday night game, which automatically precluded it from being considered as a GameDay destination.

That's the other problem . . . not enough Saturday games. You're not going to get GameDay to come to Boise if all your big games are played on Wednesday and Friday.

Cripe, you're doing a great job. Any TRULY objective college football fan would be on the same page with you regarding your rankings, because they are logical and well thought out. The same haters are always on here saying the EXACT same thing about BSU every day, so once you get use to them they're just white noise - ignore them. Hearing joc doc complain about BSU not selling out the SEZ will become like an old annoying friend after you've heard it for the 90th time.

Frankly, I'm happy they're not coming here. I can't stand to think I'd be breathing the same air as Kirk Herbstreit. The man is an elitest snob who can't see past the crimson and silver of his beloved Ohio State University and the Big 10 to note that indeed there are other teams out there who deserve their shot. Stay away Kirk. We don't need you here.

This is the most worthless system on the planet. It amazes me how much influence ESPN will have on who goes to what game by their shear monopoly on the market on where and when they will televise games. In their minds they have already choosen TCU to play. The hell with the Boise State or any other team. Why does a close game by Cinncinati to Uconn garner more respect than a close game by BSU to LaTech. Lets hope LaTech can pull out a miracle next week at LSU. Last thing I heard was the players at LaTech are the left overs that didnt get a chance in the SEC.

BSU just keep winning, lets create total caous in the BCS system.

Idaho nice job

Fresno will never get respect, even though they deserve it

Nevada the same

I think any of these teams can beat the top four of the MWC at any time.

It is time for all of the non BCS conferences to creat their own championship and leave out the BCS schools. Quit scheduling them, so they can destroy each other, and create a sense of pride that each team truly has a chance to become a champion.

To cptbox, The Fiesta Bowl was on FOX? wow what a revelation. THANKS. The point is, BSU WINS. The players and staff recieve no respect.
