We're a better team this year than many teams that have played in BCS games in the past. "BCS-worthy" seems like a dumb adjective.

I have real problems with the social sciences and I teach at a college.

So BCS talk is an expession of our inner Ugly American? Isn't any American football talk a uniquely American expression?

I had a sociology professor that hated when he walked into the room I was reading the sports page. He asked if I ever read any of the rest of the paper and I said, that at least the sports page tells the truth. (I read box scores, standings, and future matchups)

He said it wasn't American of me to only read the sports page. I told him it was probably the most American thing I could do.

He never said another thing to me for that semester.

Regardless of what one perceives this years SOS to be, had we beaten all teams on our schedule we would have been guaranteed a BCS game. One loss to Utah, Texas or even one loss to UVA and I think we still get into a BCS bowl this year. The scheduling has been setup well to get us to the top tier, we just need to win and it all takes care of itself.
We still have a chance for a 10-3 season with some serious quality wins and a top 25 finish. It's frustrating to watch growing pains from the players, much more frustrating to see a continued lack of game management capability from our coaches, but overall this can still be a successful year (we've already enjoyed some pretty big successes so far).

THIS and THAT. Totally agree.

The BCS Talk should subside quickly now.

BYU is a good team. Fun to watch. Not BCS worthy this year.

91, 93, and 2004 do have tougher individual games. But way more cake.

And, even a blind squirrel can catch a nut and lightening in a bottle. Utah Stanford.

I don't agree. Outside of WI, ND and UT the rest of the schedule is on par with past WAC/MWC schedules. CSU, Wyoming (90's), Utah, AFA or Fresno generally had a good season every few years easily on par with this years BSU or Houston (rest of 2013 schedule is weak). This is a good schedule on paper (based on top historical programs) not results.

Again, not saying this year is an easy schedule just not toughest. Imagine is you swapped UT or ND for Florida State and Oregon....would be tougher.

Either way we are not close to where we should be or we would be undefeated.

Do not be shocked if Wisconsin, ND, Texas, and maybe even Houston end up ranked with a little good fortune.

I hope ND is top 10, but don't see it.
