FBC Week 11 thread: Jack Mildren didn't need no stinkin' spread offense

Boise State 28-0 and the first quarter is not yet over.

Any more questions for the folks who really don't think these guys belong? Couldn't care less if this is Idaho, the Northwest Territories or the Dark Side of the Moon. These guys can play.

And yet ... I suspect the idiots running Division I-A and the BCS won't give these guys a chance. Only Oregon comes close in terms of executing their game plan and play after play after play.

 

yeah that's are the bottom of the SEC, it's stupid for anyone to say that playing those teams are tough games. But Miss routed Fresno, who is 3rd in the WAC.

 

Didn't the Rebears also lose to Jacksonville State?

 

yes also at Ole Miss. the thing is the people who want Boise to have a shot at the national title seem to scream the SEC is overrated. OK maybea valid point. but can anyone say the WAC isn't a shit conference. yes Boise is very good, but the conference is not.

 

As far as the pertinent current issue, Boise and Nevada are better than all the Big East teams, and Fresno as good or better than most. And yeah, there's at least three teams and maybe four teams of total dreck at the bottom of the WAC. But I don't see punishing Boise because of it. Would Alabama all of a sudden be considered a pretender if it were moved to the WAC?

 

Boise is better than all the ACC teams also, so should Auburn then be punished? I just think if all the undefeateds win out it should be Oregon vs Auburn. again i think it's crock of shit that there isn't a playoff.

 

Do you think it should be Oregon-Auburn because they're ranked 1-2, because they're the bigger names, or because you think they're better than both Boise and TCU?

 

because i think the SEC and Pac-10 are at least one level above the WAC and Mt West. i think because of that Boise and TCU need to get big OOC wins. beating Va Tech and Oregon State are good wins but not great. If Oregon stays undefeated they'll have beaten Oregon and at least 2 teams better than Oregon. I guess I'll be called an SEC fanboi, (even though if I have a favorite team it would be Penn St or Louisville) but I don't think Va Tech would be better than 4th in the SEC.

 

If memory serves, there have been a handful of national champions who were dominant despite playing in an overall weak conference.

Ultimately, I blame Ohio State for the SEC being overrated and screwing up the BCS. Stupid Buckeyes.

 

i can't argue that Auburn is definitely better than Boise. i will argue that the SEC is definitely better than the WAC, so if both are undefeated I say Auburn gets to the title game. i think the BCS sucks and there should be a playoff. but when they designed it wasn't the basic idea that the best teams from the BCS conferences meet in the title game?
