I firmly believe that every team should go out and schedule the best competition possible every year, but I also can't blame them for playing the system to the best of their ability. In the current system, looks matter more than substance 90% of the time. That's just the way it work, and has historically worked, so maybe Boise St knows that if they were to go out and schedule tougher competition, or more than one tough opponent, then they risk hurting themselves more than helping. They end up with another UGA game, get crushed, and get overlooked the rest of the year even if they win out because the impression was made early in the minds of the voters.<br /><br />So, I don't blame them for playing the system to their favor. Some years it works wonders for them, some it doesn't. All things being equal, they don't get into a MNC game regardless of where they are ranked currently. If the top teams start dropping games, then I'm not sure you can justify them being left out.Jessenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11175154.post-14085178751938744262009-10-02T09:24:49.671-05:002009-10-02T09:24:49.671-05:00I'm not saying it's irrational to have Boi...I'm not saying it's irrational to have Boise in the Top 5, just a bad decision if the voters are hoping to avoid a huge credibility attack from the Orrin Hatches of the world. Moving Boise State up, then bouncing them because of strength of schedules plays into the hands of the BCS busters/critics. (To be clear, I think the BCS busters are crazy but that's beside the point.)Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04278166967914631851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11175154.post-1169111605886903552009-10-02T07:51:34.169-05:002009-10-02T07:51:34.169-05:00Jesse, I agree with you on Boise not being a flash...Jesse, I agree with you on Boise not being a flash in the pan, but that's just a greater reason why they should be playing more than one challenging game in a season.<br /><br />Jeff, I don't think it's irrational to have Boise in the top five right now because so many of the national title contenders have not yet been tested as a result of crappy OOC schedules. By the end of November, those contenders will all have played multiple quality opponents, whereas Boise will still be stuck on one big game. At that point, their ranking will be hard to justify.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08365733949431139562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11175154.post-82127105717068874732009-10-01T16:42:02.699-05:002009-10-01T16:42:02.699-05:00I think Mandel was referring to the public outcry ...I think Mandel was referring to the public outcry from the non-BCS supporters in that last block quote, and I agree with him. If people generally feel that Boise State isn't good enough to play with the big boys, they should leave them far enough back that they won't need to be passed later by the true contenders. Put another way, voting Boise State as high as No. 4 this early is just asking for trouble if the voters don't really think they're good enough to contend for the title and intend to implement a glass ceiling of #3 or #4 for them. <br /><br />Btw, i don't think they should ever play in a BCS title game with their sched but I wouldn't have voted them this high either.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04278166967914631851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11175154.post-2258474588529433432009-10-01T11:24:31.719-05:002009-10-01T11:24:31.719-05:00If TCU and Boise St goes undefeated, don't be ...If TCU and Boise St goes undefeated, don't be surprised if they both end up in at least the top five. If either of the top three start losing, then this thing gets much more interesting. I think what we might be seeing is a backlash from the voters as they express their disdain for the current system. Does that require some bit of assumption on my part, sure it does, but as I don't believe that it's not at least a possible reason.<br /><br />Personally, I agree with you. The voters have every right to vote teams over Boise St because of the quality of their schedules, but I have a fuzzy line in that those teams should at least be within reasonable reach of the position. I would not agree with a two or three loss team getting voted over an undefeated Boise St for the simple reason that this isn't a flash-in-the-pan, one-hit-wonder Hawai'i team from a couple years ago. This is a Boise St team that goes close to undefeated almost every year and has a solid five or so years worth of history to back it up. Regardless of the teams played, it is very difficult to keep up that level of success on any level. That gets them a little more credit in my book.Jessenoreply@blogger.com
