Picture is getting clearer

1 Auburn .9371
2 Oregon .9069
3 Boise State .8846
4 TCU .8833
5 Michigan State
6 Missouri .8006
7 Alabama .7100
8 Utah .7049







What does everybody think?

Spartans have a shot? If they beat Iowa seems like they'd be on their way

I think you should use the BCS standings.

Fixed, I copied the wrong ones. The BCS ones didnt have record anywhere.

I'll be happy with anyone but Boise State. That would include TCU.

I predict that it's Oregon vs. the winner of Auburn/Alabama.

Michigan State does have a great shot, especially since the Big Ten is considered a top conference this year. I don't think they win in Iowa but if they do it does look very favorable for them to go undefeated and they almost have to be included. They certainly jump over Boise State.

Boise State vs. TCU

All the rest will lose in their conference championship game or before.

Charles Davis, who covers the NFL & college football for FOX Sports and the NFL Network, was a guest on "The Dan Patrick Show" today. Charles says that even those Boise State is still winning, they're losing ground in the polls, including the BCS one.

Boise State is a problem for the BCS & the rest of the top tier football programs. They are able to be successful & beat every top tier team they play despite having no 5 star or 4 star recruits. The BS recruiting class ranks between 50th & 60th every year.

The only thing that may help Boise is if Hawaii and Nevada can break into (or jump back in) the top 25. And both are close.

They should schedule some of those top tier programs.

Great bowl games (like great fights) are all based on conflicting styles meeting. Alabama v. Oregon would seem the most interesting matchup. Missouri v. TCU would also fit the description. Boise State v. Wisconsin would be good.

O judgment! Thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason.

This is the big game for Oregon, they get by USC, I think they will go undefeated, not an easy schedule, but should win them, just have to get by USC.

On Michigan State, Yes it would be nice and get by Iowa will probably finish undefeated, but truthfully would probably get smashed in the title game.

On Auburn-Alabama, I think Bama has the best shot, though Bama has to get by LSU and Auburn and whoever comes out and the SEC Title game. For Auburn, they have 3 out of 4 games that could be difficult in Ole Miss (Masoli has the offense going), Georgia at home (since AJ Green came back, the Dawgs are playing better, heck a favorite over Florida), and at Alabama, and also SEC title game if they get through that.

I'm with Boilermaker Rick, I'm tired of the Boise story, along with TCU and a long shot Utah. What I could see is Boise lose to Nevada, Utah beat TCU, and Utah being the at large team, unless Notre Dame beats Utah, then none of them make it.

I will just throw out a darkhose possibility, Nebraska, could beat Missouri this week and come back and beat Oklahoma in the Big 12 title game.

I really think were a long way from knowing anything, but should get some answers on Saturday, especailly in the Oregon-USC and Michigan State-Iowa game.

I'm tired of the Texas, Florida, Florida State, Alabama, LSU, Ohio State, etc...story.
I'm rooting for Mizzou or Boise State to win it all.

They try, no one will play them...

They played #3 Va Tech and monkey spanked them. But they suck now. They scheduled Oregon State and pounded them into the ground. Now they suck.

They try hard to schedule tougher, but other programs either avoid them or get pounded by them and give up on the rest of their season. You can't fault Boise for their schedule.

What game did you watch? Boise State took a quick lead, Virginia Tech dominated the rest of the game, but lost it right at the end. Boise gets credit for the win but Virginia Tech dominated a majority of the game.

Michigan State would be a more legit contender if they had Ohio State on their schedule.

If this were 2011+, the Spartans would possibly get a shot at Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship game;
but so far this season, it would be a re-match between the Badgers and Spartans (or Cornhuskers).

I just figured out who this MULT belongs to.

PM me who you think he is. I think I might have a good idea too.

i don't think it's irish boy...

What could be intresting tonight on the BCS standings is TCU may pass Boise State.

As predicted - TCU jumps Boise

Oregon
Auburn
TCU
Boise
Utah
Bama

TCU and Utah play each other this weekend to eliminate one of them.
Boise's best chance is for Bama to beat Auburn and Utah to beat TCU. Bama might still jump them in this case.

TCU deserves to jump Boise and I root for TCU because they don't complain about the situation they are in like Boise State does.

I wouldn't mind a TCU vs. BCS school national title game.

I almost wonder if Alabama beat LSU and say TCU wins, does Bama jump Boise, or if Utah wins, do they both jump Boise.

Assuming neither TCU or Boise make the championship game, what I don't want to see is another TCU/Boise BCS bowl game like last year. Match them up with "big boys" and let's see how they do.

You will wake up JK with that.

Let's assume it's SEC versus Pac 10 in the NC. The Rose Bowl and Sugar will have to pick another BCS team to battle in their games against a Big 10 and BCS at large/Big East team respectively. It would be difficult to see either bowl wanting or having the ability to get both again. So New Orleans could go for the rematch or look outside the list. The way your screw one of them is that the WAC and MWC are only guaranteed one BCS slot if they are in the Top 12 and it's the highest ranked. So you could have TCU at 3 and Boise at 4 and Boise is not guaranteed anything in the BCS unless a bowl picks them up as an at large.

I am hoping that Boise State, TCU, & Utah are the only undefeated teams at the end of the year.
The BCS committee would not be happy about this.

Hopefully this was fin in cheek
