And I also read on CFN how Boise's schedule compares to Ohio State's. I don't know if it's unfair though. I would take quantity over raw quality. I was saying this last season with the TCU/Boise BCS debate. Boise had the best win against Oregon at home, but TCU racked up road wins against Virginia and Clemson with conference wins over Utah, BYU, and Air Force. I thought TCU showed themselves to be more consistent over the course of the year.

Say, if Virginia Tech makes it into the ACC title game and runs the table, it is possible that Boise's best victory is better than Ohio State's best victory. But Ohio State has the quantity and the quality, as they would have wins over Wisconsin and Iowa on the road with Miami, Michigan, and Penn State at home (say what you want about Penn State, but they're still "good"). It's certainly possible Boise State could run the table with that, but we don't have an alternate reality to compare it with. You've gotta give Ohio State the benefit of the doubt.

Well...we won't see Nebraska in the NC game...

It looks like they will have to play Oklahoma....

We won't have to worry about it because Ohio State isn't running the table. Too many injuries and the Oline still sucks. This is going to be one of those years for Ohio State where injuries happen at every turn. That and the offensive tackles think they are matadors.

I see a iot 1 and 2 loss teams and MAYBE 1 BCS school with no losses leaving TCU or Boise IF they stay undefeated to play for the BCS Championship. Heck, I have been wrong on so many predictions this year this surely won't happen.
The preceding statements are solely the opinion of GoBoilers and are, therefore, probably not based whatsoever on fact, research or more time in thought than what was required to physically type them. They're probably correct anyway, so you shouldn't argue too much, because otherwise he'll just blather on forever. On the internet Al Gore invented.
