    It is too bad that Boise and TCU aren't in the same conference, they always play great games. I think the MWC under better leadership would have added Boise when they added TCU and would probably be a viable conference now.

      Yeah, Tulsa might be a speed bump.

        KSU wins 53-50 in 4 OT. Poor aTm is still not bowl eligible.

          As much as some Utes and Cougar fans would hate it, just imagine this conference, not necessarily as the MWC, but how would some like this?

          Utah
          BYU
          Boise State
          TCU
          San Diego State
          Houston
          Air Force
          Hawaii
          Nevada
          Utah State
          UNLV
          New Mexico

          A mix of MWC, C-USA, and WAC, but that would be a really good football and hoops conference. New Mexico and UNLV are your teams that help you get a couple wins in football, but are extremely valuable for basketball. It would easily become a BCS conference.

            Oregon vs. Stanford probably deserves its own thread, but I'll mention this here... A local columnist mentioned this morning that one should check out the field for tonight's game. Stanford last cut its grass (sounds like a euphemism, but it's not) a few days ago, and the mowers were intentionally set to high. Couple that with wet conditions, and Oregon's speed advantage may be minimized tonight.

              That's ridiculous.

                I've never understood this. Doesn't it just make the slower guys really really slow?

                  So does Boise's loss mean there will be a rematch of last year in Vegas? Now Boise will feel the pain of being in the MWC. Sucks don't it.

                    I'm loving this LSU vs Western Kentucky game. LSU will obviously win, but they're getting outplayed right now half way through the second quarter.

                      I guess the theory is that a slow field hurts an Oregon-like offense more than Stanford's power-oriented O (yes, despite Luck, Stanford's O relies more on Clydesdales than thoroughbreds). I think it's a lousy move in any case; I want to see athletes at the best, rather than have a greenskeeper determine an outcome.

                        Why is it ridiculous? There's nothing wrong with it. ND did the same thing for SC in '05.

                          Utah will win out and play in the Holiday Bowl

                            UH has historically laid an egg in Tulsa, and that game would be scary given the struggles against LA Tech earlier this year. However UH has hit an incredible stride. Hopefully the to undefeated. It would be especially nice in a year where aTm had such high hopes.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes.

                              Tulsa has played amazing since C-USA play has started. They did play an out of conference schedule that was very tough too, against OU, OK. State, and Boise State.

                                Is the Holiday Bowl still attainable for Utah? If so, what has to happen? I bet Utah does win out.
