for a team that has only been D-1a for 11 years now, they are a spetacular team.  the team would be nothing if it weren't for the coaches and recruiting. imagine starting out with small town talent that was headliners on local friday night and turning them into a powerful saturday afternoon team. yeah i'm sure that the first couple of years were hard, but the coaches there never gave up. it is great that they were able to get some players that helpedthe team get to small bowls and in turn, that tuned the nation into BSU and that "blue turf" that is now recognized all over the nation.\nthe WAC is ok, but the Mountain West conference is one of the better non-BSC divisions that really contend every year

I totally agree!!! I am so excited about the BCS game though!!! GO BIG BLUE!!! I am sick of being shafted because we are in the WAC.

I've been sayin this for several years so I have to agree.  the BCS is BS but there's nothing we can do for now so just deal people and stop complaining.

First things first, Bama WILL NEVER find another Bear Bryant and can stop trying. Secondly, he's been coaching us for 4 years now and has not really shown us anything big. Lets face it (and people who do not follow or understand SEC football will not understand this but...) we can't take anymore losses to Auburn. In Bama-country, if you can't beat Auburn - you're outta' here! I kinda' feel sorry for him and then again, I don't. I could better answer your question if we knew who the replacement was. At this point there are too many rumors being thrown around. ROLL TIDE!!!!!!

The SEC is a joke, they play each other and thats suppose to make me believe that they are a good conference.  Who else have they played, 1-6 as a conference against the top 25 outside of conference, what a power conference.  Arkansas wont get the nod because Boise State would still end up undefeated and if so they should play OSU for the title.

How god they can be depends on the coach, they have talent but I think it will be hard to bounce back from everything that happened this year. \nI'm not sure, but I think they travel to Norman to play OU early next year: if so, they'll get knocked ofof the BCS race in a hurry.

im a michigan fan but i love nebraska. had to comment on them. 1995 greatest team ever, but i think that they'll win when they bring back the option. the west coast offense just doesnt seem right to me. just my thoughts tho.

I think they are overrated and so is Brady Quin (Spelling). They have had some close games with some not so very good teams...heck last year when they lost to USC they moved up in the polls..when Fresno St did the same thing they dropped...there is a big bias for Norte Dame...I hate them...Got Twelve...we do!!!!!

We should be in the hunt for the National Title, but with all of texass and Oregon's losses, we wouldn't have had enough BCS points to get up to #2 with all of the one loss teams in there anyway.\n\nOregon got exposed for the mediocre team they are several times this year, and it doesn't get any better than Oklahoma-Nebraska. Hopefully we will get a chance to expose another team ranked ahead of us in a BCS bowl. BOOMER SOONER!!\n\nOn the subject of that horrible call, I read an article by the replay guy that will just make you mad, but it's good reading:\n\n"The replay official for the game between Oklahoma and Oregon football game says he knew that the Sooners recovered a pivotal onside kickoff late in the game." \n   \n \nBut Gordon Riese told the Oklahoman that replay rules prevented him from correcting on-field officials who made the wrong call and awarded possession to Oregon, even though it was clear to Riese that Oklahoma's Allen Patrick had recovered the ball...."

The SEC is a hayseed conference - football is the only thing they have going for them.  Each of their universitys are in fairly small "urban" centers, while the schools in the Pac 10 tend to be in larger Urban areas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Phoenix, Seattle, Portland.  These poor people have nothing else to boast about, let them have their happiness, it would be cruel to take it away from them, however true it may be.\n\nYou can even tell all they think about is football, but the way they answer your question.  You Clearly said ALL sports, yet all these knuckleheads talk about it football. \n\nDearest Morons,\n\nThe question was ALL sports not just football - things like basketball, baseball, track and field, etc.  And in that case NO Conference has won more national Chapionships than the Pac 10.

Rutgers is a very good football team. If they finish undefeated meaning they beat WVU in Morgantown, they are a definite BCS bowl team.  They will likely be penalized for playing in a weak league.  I know the football "experts" have lately been getting on the "Big East Bandwagon" with both WVU and UofL being ranked as high as no. 3.  The problem with either of those teams and Rutgers also being ranked no.3 is their strength of schedule just doesn't come close to that of Big 10,SEC, Pac 10, or Big 12 schools.  I like the way Rutgers plays and I like their coach very much.  I'd be very surprised if he doesn't get an offer he can't refuse from Miami or another big school at the end of the year.  I hope Rutgers wins out and gets to a BCS bowl and wins there.  I do think they are the best of an otherwise overrated league.  I think if Rutgers wins out, they should be no better than no. 6, depending of course on how the teams above them do in the last few games of the year.  A very nice team though,very nice.

I completely agree!  College football is just filled with passion and desire.  Once they get to the NFL it seems like the heart is gone.  I would enjoy a separate college area.

OSU won't play Boise State in the title game for the same reason BCS teams won't play Boise State during the regular season: They're afraid Boise State might win.\n\nBCS teams will only play two types of teams in the regular season:\n1) Weak teams they can beat easily.  \n2) Strong teams that they can afford to lose to.\n\nWeak teams?  Yeah, right: OSU barely beat Illinois (2-10) by 17-10; Michigan didn't exactly dominate Penn State (8-4) 17-10, Iowa (6-6) 20-6, or Northwestern (4-8) 17-3; and USC, supposedly #2, LOST to Oregon State (8-4) 33-31, a team which also LOST to Boise State, 42-12.  USC also put in three consecutive mediocre efforts again Arizona and the two Washington teams.  The feeble argument of BCS schools is that they are "superior" to Boise State and "don't need to play them".  That smells like they're in fear rather than inferiority.\n\nStrong teams?  By losing to OSU 42-39, Michigan dropped in the rankings, but not by much; if Michigan beat Boise State 42-39, they would suffer worse in the rankings than by losing to OSU.  It's sort of like the ranking system in chess, your result AND quality of opponent determine your ranking.\n\nSure, Boise State has only a slim chance of beating OSU (10%, I'd say) but that's enough to scare away any BCS team: If Boise State won (or even if they lost to OSU by 24-21), then Boise State would gain two things.\n\n1) Credibility, proof that they are a major program.  By gaining credibility, BCS teams couldn't run away from them anymore.  The BCS schools have ALL avoided the so-called "mid-major" programs - Boise State, Louisville, West Virginia, Hawaii, Houston and BYU - for the same reason: the risk of losing.  Fresno State was the only "mid-major" to play a BCS team this year, and that's because Fresno State HAS credibility: it was Fresno State that destroyed USC's national title hopes in 1992.  Since then, the "top" teams have been petrified of anyone who could surprise them.\n\n2) Money.  Playing in the Fiesta Bowl, Boise State will get US$3million; all the other BCS teams are getting at least twice that much.  (The little children don't want to share their toys....)  A playoff system and/or any system that permits teams from outside the six prissy-ACCed conferences scares them.  They want the money for themselves; if Boise State actually beat Texas, Oklahoma, or whomever they play, watch for the BCS to change and make it tougher for "mid-major" schools to get in.\n\n\nI forgot to mention it: To all those who whine "Boise State has a weak schedule", kindly explain why, when Boise State ASKS to play BCS teams, the BCS teams refuse.  \n\nBoise State WANTS a strong schedule, but the teams they need to play to have a strong schedule run away from them.  HOW, exactly, is the cowardice of BCS teams the fault of Boise State?  Don't say their schedule is weak when nobody strong wants to play them.\n\n\n.

Better question....Why the heck is Notre Dame even being considered? Army, Navy, Air Force...are you kidding me? Their schedule was a joke and look what happened in the Michigan State game. I am in Ohio and I am a HUGE Ohio State fan. I do not want a repeat in the title game of Mich-OSU, but who else can beat Michigan? I love Boise State and have for a couple of years. They have won me lots of money!!! They have the most exciting offense in the country, but their schedule lacks strength also. I hate Mich, but I think they would tear up Boise. Lets see what happens with USC first.

The fact that they are one of TWO undefeated teams in the nation (the other being Ohio State) should put them in a BCS game.  They beat Oregon State 42-14 (who gave powerhouse USC their only loss of the year), 10-2 Hawaii and 8-4 Nevada.  The fact that they play in the WAC shouldn't bar them from a BCS bowl.  As someone else said, Utah did the same thing in 2004 and won the Fiesta Bowl against Pittsburgh 35-7.  The rules of the BCS state that a non-BCS conference team that finishes in the top 12 in the BCS standings is guaranteed a spot in one of the 5 BCS bowls.  With the way Arkansas, Auburn, Louisville, Rutgers, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginia played down the stretch, Boise State is probably as deserving as any team.  They will probably go to the Fiesta Bowl and play the winner of the Big-12 title game which looks ot be Oklahoma.

i live in denver and am huge bronco fan. dont know why everyone seemed so suprised by his road rage. this is the same guy who has flipped of fans and yelled at them. He obviously has anger issues. As much as I love the broncos I could definetly live with out plummer (especially since I blame our loss to the steelers on him)
