re-phrase the Idaho comment....I am from Idaho, so I am an Idaho fan. I hate the Vandollies though.

Murphy must not think too highly of BSU if he doesn't pick BSU to play in the National Championship Game, less a BCS bowl. Since he is obviousely a BSU hater then we should probably get him fired then lynch him from the goal post at Bronco Stadium.

Oh, that's right, nobody would even know because the Bronco Stadium is empty on game days!

I think this shows what the rest of the nation thinks of BSU. Yah, they are a good team from a small market who plays really poor competition. They beat up on weak opponents to win, but most of the nation (outside of Boise) would prefer to watch a two loss USC team over an undefeated BSU team.

A TCU/BSU/Cincinatti combination has pitfall written all over it from a television and bowl promoter perspective. None of those teams travel well at all. If BSU can't fill a small stadium for their own home games then how many people can you expect to travel across the country to see them play in a BCS game? The only excuse that you hear from BSU fans is the "economy". If these same people can't afford $30 for a ticket in Boise then how can the afford a couple grand in another state?

only one bitg ten team is goint ohio state/iowa winner to the rose bowl a 2 loss iowa with the close games they have had they wont get in with a loss to ohio state and if ohio stae loses a 3 loss team aint getting in plus penn state is out i really think 2 non bcs teams will get in ASSUMING they both win out

Seems like reasonable logic behind your projections, Murph, but those are some horribly uninteresting matchups.

like anyone here cares what you think go away VANDAL FAN

Maybe if Idaho would win a game lately we would have GameDay this week. I think ESPN wanted to come but Idaho didn't do their part.

nevadas going to be very tough man can they run the ball

Wow - I'd wet my Grampers if BSU went to the Sugar Bowl and played Florida.

Either that or have a heart attack and tip over, spilling the manly Vandal beer I was drinking out of a large styrofoam cup representing 'Buster Bronko's skull.

But I'd quickly recover and be one of the first to book a flight and get tickets to the game and go into a telephone booth and quickly change from Silver and Gold to - hack - sputter - cough - cough - long hack - longer sputter - blue and orange.

get ready for the beatdown youre going to recieve had we already lost id give you a great shot at winning not now though this bsu team will be VERY focused they know whats at stake

This poor guy really needs to get a life.

that florida will lose to alabama i think that might happen too

jockstrap is a bum but like i said NOONE CARES WHAT HIS PISSANT THINKS LOL

if not then I doubt BSU will make it to the BCS (as long as we stay undefeated)

The Fiesta Bowl knows BSU fans will be there. I like the projection of BSU vs Iowa. I hope it works out that way since I already have tickets!

will be either USC or Arizona. Oregon is going to lose to Arizona in Tucson and could easily lose to the Beavers. Then, if USC runs the tables and beats Arizona they would be PAC-10 champs. I'm pulling for Arizona.

Iowa will lose to Ohio State.

Ohio State will lose to Michigan.

Florida loses to FSU or South Carolina then beats Alabama in SEC championship.

Texas and TCU win out and play for the National Title.

And oh-yeah. BSU loses to Nevada.

We need to correct some problems before we can be affective in a BCS bowl game. Like the snapper, left hash field goal attempts, red zone consistency, tight-end dropsy’s and forgetting how to tackle in the backfield. Ask Mr. Mathews if you have any question about the last one. In the mean time let’s concentrate on getting snubbed next year for the National Championship.

...but I don't think that BSU will be going to a BCS bowl simply because the money isn't there. Sure, BSU fans will buy plenty of tickets, but USC or Ohio State fans will support much more merchandising. The BCS will satisfy the rules by taking TCU because they have to, but they will leave BSU out because there's bigger money from a bigger program, no matter what the rankings are.

And that's the way that it will be as long as the current system remains in place. Besides, the only game that really matters is the National Championship game. Don't get me wrong, the BCS bowls are prestigious, but since the final rankings are decided by a poll, the end result is that only one bowl game really matters (and given that its participants are selected by a poll, there's even an argument against that!)

So, if the Broncos go to a BCS game, great. If they don't, big deal. The one thing that BSU and the other highly ranked non-BCS teams have shown is that the current system is completely corrupt.

egad

Most right footed kickers have trouble hitting goals from left hash. So why do coaches put their kickers on the left hash???

egad-----egad, please dont lose any games this year if thats the end result. I would watch one or the other there, but not both.

I was suprised that you wrote about Boise not being a football town one week and then called for ESPN to come for gameday. Sounds like you are playing both sides. It should be no suprise that ESPN chooses not to come when the hometown paper denounces the team and even scoffs at BSU in a BCS game. I can't imagine a local paper near a big school like USC, Notre Dame, Georgia Oregon or even Washington arguing that the local team is ranked too high all season. Shame on you. It seems in the way of trying to look unbiased and journalistic you have gone too far the other way. No suprise, most jornalists do nowdays.

There is no life in Idaho...it is a mirror site on god's server. You were dreaming but it is over. Go to your residence and await our commands and THEN we will restore control...

Did you see the stands at the last TCU game? They have a smaller fan base than BSU. BCS promoters are probably praying for TCU to lose, so they can at least salvage some revenue with BSU. Not saying we deserve it more or less, just saying we might be the larger of the two small Non AQ schools. I don't think BCS bowls would cave to the pressure to put in BSU as the at large. Money outways all pressure until someone actually goes to jail. Just a thought, it would be difficult to explain in an anti-trust courtroom how a 9th ranked, two loss team deserves the at large bid over, say, a 5th ranked, undefeated team. That would smell very strongly of profit over fairness.....anti-trust.

Nat. Champ Game = FL vs TX
Sugar = AL vs Cinc
Orange = G.T. vs TCU
Fiesta = USC vs BSU
Rose = Oregon vs Ohio St.
