I think they play on the 12th of November in Boise.

Very interesting numbers came out:

Boise had almost a 100% chance of going undefeated (from memory it was 98 point something percent).

The next closest was barely over 40% chance.

Then Auburn and LSU came in at less than 2% chance of going undefeated....Oregon and Missouri were in the same boat.

I can't find the list but found it interesting when they showed it yesterday.

This clearly illustrates how Boise's schedule will probably get them into the big game when all the undefeated teams go down at least one time....I don't think there will be more than 1 team from a AQ conference go undefeated....maybe 0.


Because some self-serving putz's on ESPN say so.....and why do you have to run a program worth its salt, 10,000 times unless you want to try and dispel the earn reputation of intellectual pygmies.


10,000 times for margin of error. Same as a political poll...why call 10,000 people? Should we just ask the bum on the street corner who he voted for and when he gives his answer declare that candidate the winner.



Well, that's what CNN and MSNBC polls do, I don't know why ESPN would be any different. :lol:
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.
