That guy who jumped on the ball should have been penalized for delay of game.
It is a rule. If a defensive player touches a ball as the ref trying to set the ball, the refs job is to stop the clock. Therefore the refs blew the call.

South Florida & Cincinnati both enjoyed rankings during that time (5 years). Plus Louisville didn't expect Syracuse to leave the schedule. In their defense they are rectifying that by moving to the ACC next year.
I didn't say the schedule wasn't bad, I just said that any good teams they had cycled to bad now, and/or left the conference. Happens to everyone, Georgia had a particularly weak schedule a few years back, they cycled both Ole' Miss & Miss St in from the West, coinciding with the collapse of Tennessee. I made no excuses for that.
Oregon & Stanford, with the exception of playing each other had really bad schedules. Ohio St.'s has been mentioned here quite a bit. Not to mention Alabama (except for A&M and LSU, there's is particularly weak). Did Alabama expect Penn St. & VPI to be bad teams when they scheduled them? Nope, just happened to be really down years for them.
Even after all that, games still have to be played. Louisville showed how good they were last year in the Sugar Bowl (as did Utah a few years back ). That's why we play the games, and need a playoff to show who's really best.
Is it just me or has this been a very dead thread in comparison to previous seasons?

Boise State reminds me of the University of Colorado Buffalos during the early 90's. Colorado had that magical 1989 season when they were undefeated but beaten by Notre Dame,I think,in the Orange Bowl. The next year they won the national title(or at least half of it),then they would always lose 1 or 2 games each season afterwards. I think that Boise State peaked years ago & their best is behind them. I'm watching Fresno State beating them right now on ESPN.
I think it's pretty obvious what two teams will be in the BCS championship. The schedules seem to be pretty weak for teams sitting atop the polls.Is it just me or has this been a very dead thread in comparison to previous seasons? Posted Using The New SatelliteGuys Reader App!
