I posted my "top 10" hawgs loss is to Bama ( as would any other team except maybe LSU) but let's see how they do with Tenn. Bama couldn't figure them out the first 30 minutes Oregon's loss was to LSU, again, only 1 team stands a chance against LSU BSU- let's put them in the top 10 so they get a good bowl game
I wish BSU would play LSU or Bama. I think that would be an awesome game. Everyone said we'd be crushed by the Sooners as well, but BSU statistically is a great team. We've beat Oregon before and we can do it again.
Is fairly easy to statistically good when they play week after week against inferior competition... For the record - LSU would maul Boise St this year.
why would you want BSU to play LSU or Bama? Do you not recall what happened to OSU and the Big 10 as a whole when 2 years in a row the high and mighty OSU was handily discharged by an SEC team? They were exposed for being an OK team in an OK conference but not a big dog. The SEC is where you go if you want competition. And I'm not talking Kentucky. Heck, even as stinky as they are this year FL could compete and beat most top teams from other conferences. Arkansas would run roughshod over most with few exceptions Then there is LSU and Bama, the 2 heavyweights in a land of flyweights. This year, they walk alone having only each other as peers. To want to put BSU against either of those teams would be setting up the student body, the players and boosters for disappointment. It would also add fuel to the fire of detractors who say their pathetic schedule is why they have the record that they do and they don't belong on the field trying for a nat'l title. They would be black marked for several years and that would do no good for anybody. They should hope for a decent bowl game against an ACC team, a second rate SEC team or maybe a big 12 team. But, to wish either LSU or Bama upon BSU is just asking for the program to be pushed backward. It would not be fair to anyone involved.
can I get an AMEN. how did the high flying Oregon offense do against LSU? BSU hasn't seen a defense like LSU or Bama BSU has not had to handle the offensive lines and running game of an LSU or Bama. Both of those teams would give the pro's trouble.
So who is going to win?? LSU or Bama. number one is on the line. any predictions???? I ain't gonna do it
who is going to win? I think CBS will be the winner ( I think that's where it's being shown) Seriously: I'm not sure. The one thing that bama can't plan for is which QB will get more snaps. How in the heck do you plan for that?
BSU tries to sign big schools year after year and the big schools RUN from them. Hopefully Boise can keep going strong to increase their TV market and use that money and bowl money to up their academics so a big conference will take them.
M O N E Y who wants to pay to see Bama or LSU play a local high school team? Sadly it has come down to money and the programs must consider that. What benefit is there for a premier SEC team to play BSU? Is it so BSU can learn what it's like to get slapped around the field? Seriously, there is no benefit to the premier teams to waste their time and give up the money. No disrespect to the football program at BSU. They are a big fish in a small pond and have had their 15 minutes of fame. The good news is that last year we had to hear about TCU and BSU and thankfully TCU has fallen from the topic. I again state, BSU has more to gain by playing the role of orphan than actually getting a big game and being put in their place.
LOL. The people who are actually in college football wouldn't even show that kind of disrespect. Only an armchair quarterback would. Nebraska paid 150k to get out of a game with BSU. I'm not saying BSU would smoke any of them, but saying any of them would smoke BSU is as equally retarded a comment.
Fact of the matter, BSU has been ranked in the top 10 for how many years now? Adding them onto the schedule of any major conference team is guaranteed 1st place spot when going undefeated. However, a loss is immediate demolishing of the larger program's support in the AP polls. If they were some weak team, merely ranked year after year out of sympathy, all major schools would jump at that easy boost to their chance for number 1. Yet, year after year, no takers. I wonder why? LMAO
And why would that be "equally retarded", as you put it? I can think of a dozen reasons why a LSU or Bama would beat BSU and can't think of one why BSU would beat either. LSU or Bama would be a heavy betting favorite. The level of talent on both sides of the ball between LSU and BSU is undeniable. For some odd reason people keep looking at a win over OU a few years back as a justification for these silly arguments, while the LSUs if the world play the big boys every single week. Can you seriously sit there and say with a straight face and say BSU is even close to as talented as a LSU or Bama?
That post right there tells me how little you know of the past decade and Boise St. Every ranked team that plays BSU loses. And you all can't argue the fact that if this team, who is ranked in the top 5, is so easy to beat, all the schools in contention would be jumping to play them. They aren't. Case closed. There is no sympathy in college ranking, except the schools with one loss who still manage a top 5 spot. If you don't trust the evaluation of those who vote, why on earth are you all so convinced LSU and Bama is going to be a huge game?
Better check your facts, Jack. The one conference game last year they had against a ranked opponent (Nevada) they lost. The one out of conference game they played against a ranked opponent (VT), who they barely beat, was laughed off the field the following week after getting smacked around by Virginia Commonwealth of all teams. I hate to burst your fantasy bubble, but no one is scared of Boise St. Here's a little lesson in reality for you - college football is about MONEY - something Boise St has never brought to the table.
LOL. Well, I guess Kent St. and North Texas Mean Green bring TONS of money to the table. You guys have nothing. I'll give you LSU. Seriously tough schedule and smoked them all.
LSU crushed Oregon and WVU, the top teams in their respective conferences. What more can you ask for, besides running the gauntlet in the SEC West?
LSU is a great team this year no doubt. However, there are plenty of schools who if had Boise on their schedule would have increased their chances for a title shot with a victory, and THEY chose the easy opponent, which BSU obviously is not. Look how biased you all are to the corruption of collegiate sports. Surely even if BSU got a game with one of them and won, out would come a plethora of excuses. A nation of front runners. All the big conferences get millions of more dollars a year towards athletics than the great majority of schools, and yet BSU still manages to grow their program in such a rigged environment. All Americans, even if not the quality of the elite programs yet, should appreciate such character.
Good lord. Name 2 other schools in college football that have the defensive numbers of these 2, having seen the opponents they have played. To say this game isn't the BCS title game for 2012 is simply not dealing with reality. If you want to pump BSU's jades then go ahead. But please don't be so blind to reality over it. I like BSU, they are a good team, but nobody is sniffing LSU or Bama this year.
LSU has a way tougher schedule than Bama. Any given Saturday. Bama could certainly win. But LSU more proven at this point.
I don't like the BCS anymore then you, but this is the reality. Other teams are moving around. Why isn't BSU? TAM and Missouri are swapping over. Why isn't BSU? Has anybody asked BSU this yet? I haven't seen it. Nbody is choosing easy opponents. Teams are having to contend with in conference scheduling, state requirements, etc. LSU is forced by the state to play more in state opponents. That is why NSU was on their schedule this year, eventhough everyone down here knew it was going to be a joke, which it was. There is none of this "fear" factor garbage your talking about. Schedules are made 2 to 3 years in advance.
Bama made more money and scored more AP points by beating Kent St and North Texas? (*)(*)(*)(*) is laughable. BSU has been ranked for 6 years now? 7? They aren't a one hit wonder, and they aren't going anywhere. If the BIG 12 jumps on them, which I think they will, then we will all know where they stand.
I'll just add my two cents: IMO, Alabama & LSU are clearly the two best teams in the country, and the reason is because of their defenses. While their offenses are real good also, they are certainly no better (or worse for that matter) than Boise St., Stanford, Oklahoma St. or Clemson(just stickin' with the other major undefeateds). So, because the BCS shmucks have told us in the past that "A playoff would diminish the regular season, where every game is 'like a playoff'" (har, har), I say the 'Bama/LSU game is a elimination game, where the loser falls behind all the Major undefeateds, but possibly first in line of the one loss teams. This is especially true if Alabama loses(and maybe even falls behind Oklahoma as a one loss team), being that they are playing at home. Oh. I think it's possible that Stanford loses to USC and Clemson loses to Georgia Tech this week & Oklahoma St. loses to somebody, probably Oklahoma.
