USC is #7 in the initial BCS rankings.

That is a bit surprising...

About right, shouldn't have lost to UW, plenty of time to move up

Texas still has Kansas, Mizzu, @ Ok St, and the B12 championship game. Cinci still has Big East rivals Uconn, West Va, and Pitt. Iowa is still at 3 game winning streak Mich St and at Ohio St. All of these teams are likely to lose a game yet.

However, Boise St kills me. They only play one more team with a winning record: Idaho! What a joke. Their schedule simply isn’t strong enough to warrant serious BCS candidacy. Fortunately, USC still has games against ranked BCS teams – Oregon and Arizona – so our computer rankings should increase quite a bit if we finish undefeated. Enough to pass Boise and Cinci for sure. Still, Autzen could render the discussion moot.

Early BCS always favors undefeated teams.

SC is the top ranked one-loss team.

It’s still early.

Pressure is on

the undefeateds, except for the SEC since they are above all scrutiny

I suspect if Alabama and Florida reach the SEC title game undefeated the BCS Title game will be… Alabama and Florida.

The entire country will vomit in unison if that happens. Isn’t there a requirement that you must win your conference?

Nope

At least, not if there any other remotely plausbile candidates. The loser may well end up #5 or worse in the human polls just to prevent that.

Won't happen

It didn’t happen when Michigan and Ohio St played each other and were #1 and #2 and they bitched and moaned for it to happen and it won’t happen this year.

AP

is a more accurate snapshot of the true power rankings of FBS teams.

I say we start our own Championship series West Coast Ultimate Champion

WE don’t participate in any bowls in the east, we then challenge the BCS winner to a 250 million dollar game half to charities.

No worries SC Nation

I am a Grad and life long fan of the Boise State Broncos and although I am very excited to see my Broncos ranked so high must admitt I don’t see it lasting to long. Like DFWTrojan said in his post we have no real competion left in our path. I really am pulling for SC and have always been a fan of your players and coaching staff. I really feel like each year I root for you guys because your the only team in the west that can get any NC talk (and for good reason) .All year long I (and everyone outside of the sate of Florida) have had to listen to ESPN talk about Florida and the great Tim Teblow. It really makes me want to vomit. I honestly think if they played in the PAC-10 they are at best the 3rd best in the confrence. This year I am really praying for SC to play Florida in the NC game so Taylor Mays can come on a safty biltz and knock Timmys teeth out. I really feel like your team is starting to click and has a real shot at the NC if they winout. Your SOS will help you jump my Broncos and Cincy. Texas willl probably lose because lets face it they looked like shit in the RRR and Florida will probably beat Alabama in the SEC championship game. So please win out and and kick the shit out of Florida.

Thanks for the support

Your Boise State Broncos are a team to be reckoned with, SOS nonetheless. And thank you very much for beating Oregon!

The vomit theme is catching on! Where do you live 36?

by Locoweed 1.1 on Oct 19, 2009 9:26 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I live in Idaho Falls

Which is about 3 hrs from Boise. Makes for a long drive to go to home games. I am so sick of hearing about Tebow that it makes me sick. I kinda wish we could play them in the Fiesta this year. Would love to see the Broncos beat the gators. But I think that Alabama is the only thing standing in their way of the NC game and hopefully a meeting with the Trojans. And lets face it Tebow is no Vince Young. And I don’t think he would get the calls Vince got in 05. I just don’t see you having a problem with anyone except Oregon from here on out. So good luck and Fight On!

Totally agree, it would be a heck of a lot fun to see the Broncos and Trojans play Florida and Alabama somewhere West of the Mississippi. The trip would render them too dizzy to play! And remember what happened to Oklahoma when they had to face a real team.
Good point about VY and Texas getting all the calls, but Frostee Rucker and the Tings helped a lot too. Now everyone treats Tebow like he’s a freakin’ bodhisattva, and you’ll see that the refs are going to act like his angelic host if he makes it to the NC game. Let’s hope Alabama knocks them out or January will be hard to bear.

I really just want Florida off their high horse. If ESPN loved Tebow anymore, Tim and the Game Day crew would run away to Vegas and get married. I really hope they go unbeatan and get embaressed in the NC.
