College Football 2006

I'll bet you say that after they beat Syrcause, then after they beat Louisville then after they beat Cinny, then probably after Pittsburgh too...

I mean what do you expect, them to play ALL the big name college teams?

No, those three are good as is Rutgers. They have some good teams on their schedule they just haven't playted them yet.

Hey, you forgot Rutgers. Of course, I think L'ville is going to win the de facto Big East championship game this year, and that Rutgers is a big step behind the two big guys (unfortunately, still a big step ahead of my Orange).

Then there's Boise, who has no one good left to play. Even Fresno sucks this year. Their toughest team is probably...I don't know, San Jose State?

Probably Texas, in the Fiesta Bowl. At least, I think Boise has an excellent chance of finishing in the top 12, or at least in the top 16 and ranked higher than the ACC champion. Which puts them in the BCS, and the Fiesta Bowl picks last (not to mention it's the most logical BCS bowl for Boise) to decide who plays the Big 12 champ (most likely Texas).

As long As Boise can win out, they should get a BCS Bowl. They are 19 in the Coach's poll this week and they will only move up as other temas lose and they win.

Yeah, if Boise doesn't slip and lose a game they shouldn't, I think they'll get a BCS game. Probably not fair, but I'm fine with not fair with the BCS if Boise benefits on ocassion.

I've seen Boise projected into the Rose Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, and Sugar Bowl. So I have no idea where they'll end up.

At this point, I'm just hoping they actually do win out.

Do you think Boise has a chance against any other BCS team that would make it to one of those bowls?

Probably not, no. But it's hard to say. Their QB is playing better than he ever has, they have two very strong RBs, and their Defense is the best it's been in the last 5 years. Definitely not the same team that got thumped by Georgia to start last year.

Likely, they'd lose, maybe a close one, maybe huge. It would depend a great deal on the team they played. But no, if they do to a BCS game, I wouldn't expect them to win. Hope, yes...expect, no.

I just wish their schedule didn't suck so bad. If Utah ends up winning the Mountain West, then that victory looks good, but that's about it.

I think they'd have an excellent chance against the ACC champ, and against anyone from the Big 12 except Texas (so if Nebraska or Missouri pulled an upset in the Big 12 title game -- which has been known to happen, though it was usually Texas pulling the upset rather than being upset -- then Boise might very well have a chance).

Against Ohio State, Michigan, West Virginia, Louisville, USC, or Florida? No way.

WVU will run wild in the Big East. I don't see any of the other Big East teams coming close. Even if they stop the run, the passing is still there.
