        8-4 ACC team? The Humanitarian Bowl pits the WAC #1 verses the MAC...

        When it has a tie in with ACC, it was like the 7th place ACC team, so it would have been a 6-6 team....

          Yes that is what I meant earlier in the thread where I said somewhere Matt Payne is smiling.

            I believe that Crowton would still be the BYU HC had Payne made that FG. I think that would have had that team turn the corner and they would have beaten UNLV and New Mexico that year for I think would have been 8 wins.

              Brotzman — the leading scorer in Boise State and WAC history and soon the highest-scoring kicker in NCAA history — pushed a 26-yard field goal from the middle of the field wide right on the final play of regulation.
              That kicker is about to be the highest scorer in NCAA history, yet he'll never forget last night's misses. Ever.

                Michigan should be right in this game. I really think Rich Rod is lacking as a coach.

                  TCU did it to Utah? What about Notre Dame?

                  Maybe Utah isn't all they are cracked up to be.

                    I'm so bored with Ohio State. They are the same year in and year out. I think they have like seven BCS Bowl appearances over the last ten years. Anyone would be jealous of such success. Its just getting so damn boring.

                      He is rooting hard for Auburn and Oregon. So at the end of the season he can say 'Guys it really didn't matter anyways"

                              Not to mention they needed a hail mary touchdown and a stupid mistake/gift at the end of the game by a QB they had no clue how to stop in order to win at SDSU. One can't really compare the utes season with Boise. Boise competed in their loss.

                                Why that Nevada didn't just tackle the WR is beyond me. If he has you beat give them 15 yards, not the ball at the 5.
