3. They will beat TCU in a MWC conference game.
The question is who will they beat in the championship game. It won't be Oregone.

4. Right
sure. Play two ranked teams, that'll do it every time. Good schedule, there.

Join a real conference. I hear the Pac-12 is expanding. They're not great, but they're AQ.

5. Beating a bad 6-7 Georgia team that lost to Central Florida in their bowl last year makes you NC?
Playing one or two BCS conference teams a year and then ten games against high school teams now makes you national champions?

7. Dude...

They have one of the weakest schedules of any ranked team. You do realize that they just played their last game against a ranked opponent, an opponent ranked 19th and coming off a 6-7 record.

What a joke.

15. Damn right they were.
One phrase that was thrown around us Dawg fans was "damned abortion of a clown costume." We HATED those things. I still can't believe our athletic director and coach actually signed off on that stupid Nike shit. We should have told them that they could provide a decent uniform or we'd wear our traditional outfits, pay whatever penalty we had to, and tell the nation that we didn't wear awful Nike shit, thanks, and we'd be switching to UnderArmor or someone different at season's end. Fucking Nike.

But then again, the way we played, perhaps we did deserve to be in those things.

13. It's not too bright to underrate Boise State
Easily the smartest and most resourceful team in the country. Imagine what that coaching staff could do with premier recruits.

Two years ago they physically mauled Oregon in the opener, a year after winning at Oregon. Yet somehow the public reversed the pecking order late in the 2009 season and decided Oregon was legit and Boise State was the fraud. It was hilarious. You even had Crag James insisting Oregon would defeat Boise State 9 out of 10 times. He was serious, and not out of touch with consensus.

Boise State's one weakness is the defense can get winded and worn down if left out on the field too long in the second half.

Oregon is the phony, not Boise State. I love betting against the Ducks in big moments, particularly away from home. How many times do they have to demonstrate their frailty? Butchered at Boise State and Stanford in 2009. Pushed around by Ohio State in the Rose Bowl that season. Made to look like school children in the trenches against Auburn last year. And now exposed by an LSU team missing several key players.

Boise State runs conventional schemes with marvelous creativity. Oregon runs gimmick sideways garbage.

14. Playing one top 20 team ---Georgia--- aint good enough.
Oh sure---TCU was ranked 16th a couple of days ago....but after losing to a Hospital team, they'll be lucky to be in the top 30.

Again--- One team in the top 20 for the whole season...come on...

Oh and BTW: Georgia was highly overrated.

16. Yes, but it's a damn good hospital.
The Baylor School of Medicine is the anchor of the world-renowned Texas Medical Center in Houston. :-)
