Chris Petersen was the brain behind the Dan Hawkins "Era" at BSU
Petersen gets calls every offseason from the big schools that need a coach

Can we get a discussion about the 2nd tier of the BCS going
1. TCU
2. BSU
3. OREGON
4. CINCINNATI
5. IOWA
I only put TCU ahead of BSU because they beat them last year in the Poinsetta Bowl, although it was a very close game I think they are a little bit better thisyear. Although their "big wins" dont look that impressive to me. BYU is not good at all, their win over Oklahoma was a fluke in my opinion.
The Boise win over Oregon looks better and better each week as Oregon rolls people
Cincinnati has a good offense but they just have not impressed me that much this year
Iowa is an absolute fluke to me - Ohio State should ROLL them

Um... actually, it's the opposite. We win this week and we pass BSU in the computer rankings, and there's already grumblings of human voters puttingOregon above BSU since it's been 2 months since that loss.
Sorry to burst your bubble.

Iowa
Cincinnati
TCU
Oregon
Boise State
Whether you like it or not, Iowa and Cincinnati will get bonus points in the end for playing in BCS conferences if they go undefeated... Boise's onlydecent win was over two months ago, they've essentially been outta sight, outta mind since then... The rest of their OOC was two crappy MAC teams and aI-AA team... They've played maybe two teams aside from Oregon that'll play in bowl games...
Oregon and TCU will be interesting coming down the stretch if both win out...

You can't justify putting Oregon ahead of Boise if both win out. Head to head Boise is a better team (2 years in a row might I add)
Boise's "schedule" maybe this will shine some light on why we have to play the MAC
http://voices.idahostates...ets_two_firstplace_votes
And the only reason they played UC Davis is because Oregon St. backed out over the summer. I dont think the state of oregon would have liked both their teamsgetting stomped out by a little ole WAC team

We've established head to head means nothing because teams change over the course of 15 weeks, so serious question: In your honest opinion,right now, is Boise St. playing like a better team than Oregon or any of those ranked ahead of them.Originally Posted by Where Are You Harold Miner 2

This isn't necessarily the "neutral field argument" that myself and every other USC fan makes every January, I'm simply asking from allyou've seen to this point, right now is Boise St. really playin better than any of those teams?

The body of work argument is compelling. Oregon easily is playing a more difficult schedule and excelling in it.
If Oregon continues to play like it has, rolling people over, doing it on national tv (at least one game on FSN and ESPN, and the ASU/Zona games are going tobe picked up soon), they will impress voters and the computers are going to like the wins over what could be 5 ranked tames (Utah, Cal, USC, Zona, Ore. St.).
Of course this will all be moot if Texas and Florida/Alabama take care of business because they'll be playing in the NC. Oregon will most likely play inthe Rose Bowl, Boise in the Fiesta.
What I love is that Oregon doesn't have hardly any starting seniors on this year's team. Ed Dickson is Oregon's only offensive senior. On defense(excluding Thurmond/Glasper due to injuries) we only lose TJ Ward, Tukuafu, and Talmadge Jackson.
That's 4 starters as of today that we'll lose. Meaning 18 of 22 starters come back next year. That's one hell of a team to bring back. If Oregonwins out they have to be considered a potential preseason #1 and easily top three team.

Boise has done NOTHING of note since beating Oregon... Fair or not, it's just the way it is... They've played absolutely nobody since they beatOregon... Meanwhile Oregon has stormed back from that loss and beat a Top 15 Utah team, beat the brains out of then #6 Cal, and #5 USC... And they've stillgot four more games with possible bowl teams coming up on the schedule, including #18 Arizona...
They've prove since that Boise game that they aren't the team that showed up on that ugly blue turf, and they've got a chance to hammer home thatpoint even more down the stretch...

That's all that needed to be said. Boise has the money to schedule better opponents but they are taking the easy route of just playing withinthe WACk to get to a BCS game by overpowering everyone. Put up 500k and go to a USC, Cal or Big 12 country then they'd be taken serious.

I don't doubt that USC, Texas, Ohio State might not want to schedule them... But you're telling me UCLA, BYU, Kansas, Texas Tech, Mississippi State orsome of these lower-level BCS schools or even upper-tier mid-majors want nothing to do with them? There's 50+ BCS programs, and I don't even care ifyou're playing BCS nobodies, at least show you're making an effort...

I just hope Texas, Iowa and Cinci lose sometime this year, and Oregon leaps into 2nd by the end of the season. I really want to see UO make it to thechampionship game, because lets be honest, Oregon doesnt have a chance like this once USC regroups and runs the Pac10 again.
Texas, Florida, Bama... they'll all be back in the mix next season. BSU doesnt deserve it. TCU I dont know. I havent been watching them, I just know theyneed to lose too. Iowa does seem like a fluke, they won more than a couple games that they shouldn't have. Cinci is the only team I have good things to sayabout.

Yea I think it would be cool to see Oregon sneak in there. They should have gone when Dennis Dixon was there if he hadn't had that nastyinjury
BTW I'm calling it now we are going to lose @ ECU tomorrow night. We aren't as good as I thought we'd be in our front 7; our starting LB just losthis job and our interior tackles are injured and undersized. Also I'm hearing the team has just not been into it ever since the GT loss. I foresee a2003-esque collapse this year. So for whoever called that and I said what the hell does 2003 have to do with this year, I apologize, you were right

Sure I can, and I already have.
Once again, sorry to burst your bubble but they WILL pass Boise State IF (and that's a big IF) they win out. Teams change over the course of a season -deal with it. Boise State beat a LOWER RANKED #14 Oregon team that has beaten two (at the time) top 6 teams in the country.
