Re: This week's potential upsets...
Go Vandals! Is this the year Idaho finally beats Boise State?
It's definitely the biggest game between Idaho and Boise State since the rivalry's turning point #1 versus #2 matchup in 1994.

A- If Utah ended the season with losses to TCU and BYU, I don't think they would be ranked in the Top 25 at all pre-bowls, due to all of their close, unimpressive games against lesser opponents.gmj81 wrote: If the pukes play TCU and BYU close (but assuming losses of course), then pound on some bowl opponent, they could still finish top 15 IMO with their only losses to highly ranked TCU, Oregon, and BYU.
B- The BCS doesn't count post-bowl rankings. According to them, Oklahoma was better than Florida last year.

No. I don't think they stay within 2 TDs. Do you?Mingjai wrote: Go Vandals! Is this the year Idaho finally beats Boise State?

Re: This week's potential upsets...
I considered that as an "it could happen" game at first and then I remembered Jahvid Best won't be playing. Without him, I think it's all but a certainty that Cal goes down. But we'll see.imuakahuku wrote:I think Cal beating AZ is in the "it could happen" category.

I would have said the same thing about La Tech last week, but they made it interesting.ABYUFAN wrote:I don't see them staying within 2 TD per half...Mars wrote:No. I don't think they stay within 2 TDs. Do you?Mingjai wrote: Go Vandals! Is this the year Idaho finally beats Boise State?

Re: This week's potential upsets...
Let's be honest, a lot of BSU's games this year have been closer than they should have been for a top ten team. Idaho is probably fielding the best team they've ever had (which still isn't saying THAT much). If the Vandals ever had a shot at beating a top ten team, this will be it. I think BSU wins by a couple scores, but those boys from Moscow could surprise ya.

You know.... I'm thinking that some of Idaho's Big Sky teams could have beaten this team (at least the team that played Fresno State)Schmoe wrote:Let's be honest, a lot of BSU's games this year have been closer than they should have been for a top ten team.

Re: This week's potential upsets...
Let's be really honest: If BSU does not beat the Vandals by at least 30, it will be a moral victory for Idaho...this is a team that gave up something like 500 yards rushing to Nevada, that gave up 300 yards in ONE HALF against La Tech at home...BSU should destroy themSchmoe wrote:Let's be honest, a lot of BSU's games this year have been closer than they should have been for a top ten team.

Re: This week's potential upsets...
That word "should" is a funny one, though. BSU shouldn't have given up a bazillion rush yards to Fresno, they should have beat Tulsa by a landslide, they should have had a much better showing vs UC Davis, and they should have played much better vs La Tech. BSU has been impressive at times during the year, but at many other times they have been very underwhelming. We'll see what happens come Saturday.BoiseBYU wrote:Let's be really honest: If BSU does not beat the Vandals by at least 30, it will be a moral victory for Idaho...this is a team that gave up something like 500 yards rushing to Nevada, that gave up 300 yards in ONE HALF against La Tech at home...BSU should destroy themSchmoe wrote:Let's be honest, a lot of BSU's games this year have been closer than they should have been for a top ten team.
