If Boise wins next week, at least we will finally have a Top-30 opponent (as far as Sagarin #27 and Coach's #29 polls go).

Coach's Poll #10 Baby!

I still want Army to decide to make up our game and quit woosing out by not doing so.

A win against Boise and a win against a top 25 Army, if they actually decide to reschedule against us, would do wonders for our ranking.

What are the chances that BYU backs out of the North Alabama game (still pays for game) and then adds a more competitive game in its place? Pipe dream, I know....

It wouldn't be honorable and therefore, they wouldn't do it. BYU was so grateful for anyone that would play them when they had none that I believe they would honor their agreement.

Good to see Boise in AP Top 25. I'll be a big fan of theirs against Air Force in their next game. We both stay undefeated and the winner of the game will benefit.

Gotta win out. BYU has been helped by the soft schedule and the upheaval in college football this year. As long as they are undefeated, the media, polls, etc. will give them the benefit of the doubt. But if they lose even one game, even to an always tough opponent like Boise State, that all goes out the window. Unfortunately, in the eyes of the nation, a 9-1 BYU is the same as a 7-3 or 6-4 BYU. They'll say we beat up on soft opponents, got lucky with Houston, and got exposed by Boise State.

Got...to...win...out.

The more we keep absolutely destroying teams, the less likely Army will reschedule.
