In the world cup a team can be eliminated without even loosing a single game!!!!  Because of the round-robin play, a team can get 3 ties and be eliminated by two teams that won another game because of the point break-up.\n\nSay we have Pool X:\nTeam A...  2 wins, 1 tie, and  0 losses = 7 pts.\nTeam B...  1 win, 1 tie, and 1 loss = 4 pts.\nTeam C...  0 wins, 3 ties, and 0 losses = 3 pts.\nTeam D...  0 wins, 1 tie, and 2 losses = 1 pt.

I agree with cooley.  The are not overall fixed.  However, by extending the series, companies can make money on broadcasting and advertisement.  Sometimes, I feel the refs are biased in their calls..but for the most part I don't think they are fixed.  I really feel the first round should go back to a 5 game series.

That's a huge problem on a lot of teams.  Just make sure YOU stay positive and let them know that an error in the 1st shouldn't matter in the 2nd...forget about it and keep playing hard.  If you do reference the error, say something positive like, "I know you'll make that throw next time" instead of "c'mon, that was an easy play you screwed up."  If YOU stay positive no matter what, THAT will have a rippling affect as well.  ;)  Best of luck to you.

They will make it thru the grouping and then lose in the 1st round of elimination

thats how it is in every sport. the number 1 seed always plays the worst seed in the beginning

So it's 5-3 for every 8 games. So that's 4 times 8 games.\nSo that should make a total of 5x4 win against 3x4 losses, or a 20-12 record.

It is like this\n1. Division winner with the best record\n2. Division winner with the 2nd best record\n3. Division winner with the worst record\nThen it goes by record till the last seed.

I don't think they'll make it past the first round if they make the tourney.

I think its going to be tough getting out of the 2nd round.. If they were to be 1rst or 2nd in the group.. they will face Argentina or the Neatherlands.. I really hope they make it passed that, but we'll see

I'm with you.  \n\nAnd I really think they have at least 2 more losses in them this regular season.

They not only lost, they played from behind all night. Not to say they could not do that back the game is over and and the bcs does not work like the other polls. I say they finish second after a bowl win.

I hate to lose, especially if you lose in pk's because you know you had the game in the grasp of your hands, and then lossing. That sucks. Trust me I know What it feels like to mis a goal and lose the game for your team. I think I would hate a tie even more because you have no winner, and I think thats lame. By the way, I play high school soccer at Berkmar in Georgia. Im a starting Fresman, which I think is pretty good. Well whatever, lossing sucks!!!!!!

Realistically, Boise State will need a lot of teams to lose.  The only thing that is killing their chances is that they don't have the quality wins that certain 1 loss teams do.

i agree, i dont see how losing to the #1 team by only 3 points makes u drop in the ranking especially when the other teams lost to worse teams by a larger margin
