IF Florida wins Boise State is NAtionakl Champions

[cincy_]

If Boise thought they had a hard time getting a game before, they will never get one now. Same with Louisville.

Louisville doesn't need a game. Do you think Big 10 teams like Purdue, Northwestern, Penn State, Inidiana, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan State and Minnesota would be doing L'ville a favor by playing them? It's the other way around.

It's not like they have to prove anything out of conference ... they can get quality wins in conference and one of their out-of-conferences games is always booked against Kentucky anyways.

No one respects Florida. First everyone was saying Michigan should be National Champs if Michigan blew out USC and Florida won a close game. That was ridiculous. Now people are trying to put Boise there, if Florida wins close. That is a joke. If Florida beats OSU, and that is a big IF, they should be champs no question about it. All this other talk about trying to anoint any team but Florida should Florida win is amusing.

Both teams scored 14 on almost identical turnovers...OU was one gadget play from winning by 7...yet everyone is acting like Boise handled Oklahoma convincingly...If this were back in the regular season the win would be more impressive...another thing college football needs to adress is the length time off between end of regual season and the Bowl game...this is the equivalent of the NFL playing the Super Bowl in March...

Can you imagine the NFL taking a whole month off before the biggest games?

Rail,

Stick to tennis, ok? Everytime you post something like this your ignorance of other sports becomes painfully obvious.

At least in the LLWS you can change your favorite team each week. Go runs some laps on the beach, drink some wheat juice and calm down.

Ohio State would not lose that game more than 1 times out of 100 and that is real. Well maybe not that extreme, but just use common sense on this one.

Boise State played an amazing game and pulled three trick plays out of their asses to win at the end. It was one of the best games I have ever seen and I was on the wrong end in my betting accounts. BUT

Boise was poised to get run all over by Oklahoma had they not fallen behind by 14 early. I do not believe that Boise would be able to win any of the major conferences because they would be dominated by strong running teams. Defense wins championships.

Boise proved they belong in the BCS but lets not get out of hand. Let them schedule a couple of big time games and win and then come back and talk to me about it.

3 Point win at S Jose St?

What if Ohio State had USC's schedule, think they would have lost 4 or 5. WAC was 4-0 ats in bowl games. I can see with all the retards in this thread alone not to mention in this country that Oklahoma went from 4 to an 8 point favorite. SEC looks like garbage, espeically if they must play a road game. There is no such thing as a competent offense in the Big 10 or the SEC this year.:youmad:

Where was the line ever at 4 for the OU-Boise game??? If your threads are tongue in cheek I'll admit you're a funny guy. If you're being serious, all I can say is WOW...

Yeah - so Michigan is better than Ohio State cause the same thing happened to them

... and USC should be undefeated because the same thing happened to them

... and if it weren't for a blocked kick, Florida would be undefeated

... and if LSU hadn't gone up 14-0 early today, Notre Dame would have killed them

... and if Wisconsin hadn't let Michigan take an early lead, the would be tied for 1st in the Big Ten with Ohio State

... and ....

 

[Boxslayer]

Now that is funny. Oklahoma went into this game ranked 7th or 8th in the AP, USA Today, and Harris Polls, and if not for a bullshit loss to Oregon, debatably may be ranked ahead of Florida and playing for the national championship.

Poll dynamics, right? I believe Oklahoma was ranked in the top 5 to start the season, I think Florida was behind them in the polls and Michigan well behind them. Assuming the Oregon debacle didn't happen, Oklahoma would have probably dropped behind Florida after losing to Texas, but likely would have leapfrogged back ahead of Florida after the loss to Auburn one week later. They would have leapfrogged Michigan in the same manner Florida did after Michigan's loss.

In other words, if Oklahoma wasn't a top 10 team, neither was Florida. I agree with the general concensus that Boise State would not go undefeated in a BCS conference. But they have as much size, speed, and depth as either Louisville or West Virginia.

Discounting their performance because they beat a "non top 10 Oklahoma" team is silly. Oklahoma is and was one of the best teams in the country. They got beat by a team that no other team in the country wants to play in that situation because it is a lose-lose scenario.

you missed my point

im not saying oklahoma sucks...
im saying there are a handful of teams that if boise state beat, i would consider giving them a split national title, and oklahoma isnt one of them

should have beat oregon or not...oregon blows

they got handled by texas

ohio state, florida, usc, michigan, lsu

boise beats one of those teams and they can MAYBE have a share of the title...maybe

because they still made a terrible schedule

 

[BAGIANT]

If Florida wins, they are the National Champions! No doubt about it!

 

[The_Man]

no need to worry, ohio st by 14.

 

[joelatti]

IF Fla wins....IF IF IF...Let's watch the game...Boise is NOT a national championship team......Teams that are better.....LSU, FLA, USC, Ohio St...to name a few...also Mich, Wisky, and Ark would give them a hell of a game

 

[CalRedwood]

Ohio State benefits from cup cake scheduling more than ANY top 25 program.Annually they play 2-3 games vs the likes of Youngstown,Toledo,Akron,Bowling Green and Cincinatti. Boise St which has 44 Cali kids would have to include Whittier and Redlands to their schedule to equal the caliber the Buckeyes take on. I give them credit for playing Texas but not until 2009 vs USC do the buckeyes play a decent out of conference team.Too bad Cleveland State doesnt field a team for the buckeyes to entertain.

 

[corporeal]

If Florida wins, aren't they the National Champions?

 

[JakeT.]

Boise deserves a shot. Not saying they are better than some teams but who the fuck cares who they are better or worse than. Lots of people think LSU is better than Florida right now...

I think Ohio St is overrated and Florida will win anyway and I'd expect Boise to get some first place votes when that happens.

 

[JakeT.]

If Florida wins, aren't they the National Champions?

Good question. I was just thinking after my post that a final poll that would allow Boise to be voted in might not happen with the BCS the way it is. Anyone know for sure?

It could be a split championship like LSU/USC a few years ago. The winner of OSU/Florida wins the BCS championship, while the writers (?) can vote for anyone (Boise).

 

[WVU]

What?

You're acting like the Big East is trash to say "Big East included". The Big East is FROM TOP TO BOTTOM one of the best and most balanced conference out there.

Tell me where the two losses in the Big 12 would come from - I give you Texas (maybe) and that is it.

Tell me where the two losses in the ACC would come from - and before you say Va Tech is one of them, let me remind you that Va Tech's offense can't score 20 points on ANYONE.

I am a huge Big East fan. I agree they are one of the top conferences, yet this forum is full of non-believers, hence my "Big East included". If Boise State played in a major conference they would trip up on a couple teams that maybe they should beat...just like what really happens in a big conference. Look at LSU. One of the top teams in the country and they still lost 2 conference games. Great teams lose conference games every year. Boise state could get beat by Maryland, Wake, and Georgia Tech in the ACC. They could very easily lose to Virginia Tech, Miami, and Florida State as well. Play them all and surely they would lose 2.

I'd love to see how BSU would stack up against that LSU team (that looked great last night) on a neutral field.

My guess would be

LSU 38
BSU 20

Let's not belittle the job BSU did this year (which was stellar), but let's not lose sight of the fact that the WAC is not the SEC.

It's one thing to hang a 40 spot on a Sac State or a Fresno State, it's another thing to do it against an Arkansas or Auburn.

 

[JakeT.]

People do need to stop sleeping on the WAC. They'd be 5-0 in bowl games if Nevada could have beaten Miami but they lost by 1 in the final seconds.
