Boise jumps TCU in AP Poll...

[NAHSTE]

And the so called "experts" on college gameday final had all four analysts say Wisco was easily the best 1-loss team in the nation. Whichever way you want to look at it, neither are getting into the NC game.

Well, put it like this ... If Oregon and Auburn lose ... the polls actually do matter, the ESPN personalities don't.

Well put it like this, Auburn and Oregon won't both lose. Save your hopes for next season.

Really wouldn't be so sure. Each team has two games left, one of which being a rivalry, and three of the four teams are ranked.

Going to be interesting, at the least.

WTF is this thread? Does the AP poll even count in the BCS rankings?

I thought it was just Harris/USA today/Computers

Yeah, but the AP and the other human polls are usually pretty close to each other.

I'm kind of surprised TBH. I thought TCU would lose some ground to Boise State, but I didn't expect them to jump them. I guess this just shows how narrow the margin of error is for non-BCS teams. If Sagarin's ratings are any indication, the computers still like TCU over Boise State.

Boise will end up jumping TCU in the human polls before season end. Boise still has 3 games (including 1 against Nevada). TCU only has 1 game left. TCU will probably end up higher than Boise in the computers but I think if Va Tech can win out, Boise can end up higher than TCU, and probably play Oregon for the whole enchilada.

Boise State is already ahead of TCU in the human polls, which pretty much puts them ahead for the rest of the season. Now, assuming TCU remained ahead this week, I would have thought their SOS would have kept them ahead of Boise State for the remainder of the season in the human polls.

Now, there's still a chance TCU is still ranked ahead of Boise State in the BCS since the computer average put TCU and Boise State at 2 and 5 last week respectively.

TCU's SOS is going to get plowed because of Utah. I think Boise is going to be ahead and should stay ahead. Boise is better than TCU anyway so I have no issues with this.

On top of that, Wisconsin and LSU are both way behind TCU and Boise in the human polls. Considering that LSU won't even play in the SEC title game, and Wiscy has no title game, there is 0 chance they can jump an undefeated Boise/TCU.

Boise's SOS will go down as well as they finish the season.

I'm not so sure about that. Who knows though? I wouldn't be suprised to see a rematch this January anyway. As far as SOS goes, MWC > WAC IMO.

I don't care who's ahead of who TBH. I don't have an investment in either of these teams. However, I do want to see them matched up against BCS teams in their bowls.

 

[CaribbeanJoseph]

Not enough to move them out of their current position.

Trust me, I want to see Boise in the NC as much as you do but some of the stuff you're saying is ridiculous, TCU are gonna have a better SOS come season's end than Boise. Will Boise do enough to sneak in if one of the teams ahead loses, yes probably because they've jumped TCU in the human polls but you're making some outlandish statements.

I just dont see the humans putting LSU in as they are going to finish 3rd in their conference. I still think its Oregons to lose, and Boises SOS will hurt them more than TCU's.

 

[Sportsbuck]

We'd look forward to throwing your defense 10 yards back as we rush through that thing you call a defensive line.

We'll be headed to the Rose Bowl though.

When have you ever cared about CFB before?

It's just typical SEC fan arrogance

Except, it's not.

I'm not saying it should happen, I don't think we would deserve it, but it damn sure could happen.

You are crazy if you think that the BCS is going to just accept a Boise St./TCU match up laying down.

If Auburn and Oregon lose, they will do whatever they can to justify a 1-loss AQ team sneaking in.

Could it happen, yeah, is it likely, no. They might have been able to get away with in previous years but I can't see it happening, there's absolutely no way the voters could justify it and the backlash would be immense, the only people who think we won't get a Boise/TCU NC if they are the only 2 left are SEC fans,

double post

 

[packersfan4eva]

Oregon's offense has sputtered three of the last four halves. It seems that Washington and Cal have figured out a way to slow down the Oregon offense, so I wouldn't be surprised if they lost a game before the season ended.

Oregon has Az at home. Yes the civil war might be a bitch, but I think Oregon comes away with it.

TCU's only game remaining is against 1-9 (likely 1-10 when TCU faces them) New Mexico.. trust me, TCU's SOS won't go up. Boise still has games against Nevada and Fresno State.

Oh I know it won't go up but it will still be better than Boise's.

 

[jHammack]

I thought Boise would jump them by seasons end anyways (I thought TCU would lose to Utah, but that is besides the point.) I think Boise will get the nod with potential wins over Nevada and Fresno, plus I don't see either of those games being close.

It won't matter though because even if Oregon and Auburn lose, I don't see Boise or TCU getting enough in the computer polls to keep them ahead of a 1 loss SEC team. Hell, Auburn could lose to Bama, then lose in the SEC Champ game (Barely pulled out a win against the Cocks the first time). LSU could win out and I think they'd jump Boise and TCU, what a terrible idea there (LSU has the same computer ranking as TCU and above Boise right now and they'll move to #3 or #4 in the Human polls that will jump them ahead)

Did I mention I hate the BCS?

Wisco > LSU

:jonesy:

Wake me up when Wisconsin has won 4 games vs. ranked teams. 5 after we beat Arkansas.
