1st BCS Poll

[Hercules]

Looks like we should have a chance to end our losing streak to top 19 teams or whatever it is...

Yeah, what is that streak? I can never remember. Is it top 20 teams or top 20 teams on the road?

[Lil' Red]

It seems that the computers like all the other Big 12 teams but doesn't like us.

[chamrocck]

I'll call this shot right now.

 

In a classic rematch it will be unbeaten Boise St. vs. unbeaten Oklahoma for the MNC. As we all know, Boise St. propelled themselves to national prominence with their cinderella BCS victory over traditional power Oklahoma in one of the most memorable games ever. From that day on Boise St. has been struggling to reach this game and this year the voters will finally reward them (there is no unbeaten Alabama or Ohio State to deal with). Oklahoma will make it unbeaten through the Big 12 (even if we end up playing them in the CCG, I don't think we beat them). Oregon will stumble somewhere because someone will shut down their offense just enough and score points on them to beat them. SEC continues to beat up each other. Auburn and LSU are playing with fire and both will lose by season's end. TCU...eh? I have not been too impressed with them and even if they go unbeaten, they will not go to the MNC.

 

This would be an attractive match-up for even those not interested in seeing Boise St. because of the history with Oklahoma and how this time it is for all the marbles! If it is Boise St. vs. TCU that will be the lowest rated MNC ever! So, that will not happen.

It was teams inside the top 20 (so top 19) for a while, because we beat Michigan ranked 20th in the Alamo Bowl in '05, and Oklahoma was ranked 20th last year (I think Arizona was too?). Anyways, it's just in the top 20 overall, home or away.
