Polls out

In the new poll, Boise was jumped by a one-loss Virginia Tech.

And that's going to happen all season. If USC beats Oregon, I wager that they'll jump Boise too, regardless of the "common opponent" argument.

If Chris Peterson wants to win a popularity contest, he should run for Senator of Idaho.

I thought about this over the weekend. The computers will not love BSU. They will love SC, esp if tOSU, Oregon, Notre Dame, Stanford, and maybe fucla end the season ranked.

However, for whatever reason, the computers penalize the PX when they start losing to each other. PX losses tend to be viewed as proof that the conference is not strong. When SEC teams start beating up on each other, it is proof that the conference is filled with powerhouse parity. Last season SC beat UW something like 50-0...and dropped in the BCS rankings.

I can never really figure out those computers.

If they are 5th or 6th in the BCS and undefeated, how could they possibly NOT end up in a BCS bowl?

If Boise goes undefeated they will be in a BCS bowl. Only JL seems to think they won't deserve it.
