College Football Week One Thread

[trendon]

Teams always have to go on the road to earn respect and get the notoriety of being a bigtime college football team.

Fresno State agrees with you.

Pat Hill even said, "Anytime, anyone, anywhere."

Stepping up to the Mountain West next season will be a big upgrade, making the SOS almost a non-issue when they will play much better teams each week.

Not sure about that, you still get teams like Wyoming, CSU and UNLV and it's not a BCS conference

yeah but each conf has that

ACC: Duke, Wake Forest
Big 12: Iowa State, Baylor
Big Ten: Indiana, Purdue
Big East: Syracuse
Pac 10: Half the league
SEC: Vanderbilt, Kentucky

Mountain West is probably now better than the Big East lol. in Football

Case in point, MWC refuses to participate in ESPN's bracket buster for basketball each February, with the arguement that we're not a mid-major conference. And then we go and get four total teams in the NCAAs, two more then the Pac-10, so we kind of proved our point there.

Settle down there, mark, the Pac 10 just had a bad year last year after churning out multiple 1st rounders while the MWC peaked

It wasn't directed at Pac-10, just an example, that the MWC wasn't a mid-major, so they shouldn't act like one. So, if Boise State is a major player, they should act like one. Would any team from the SEC, Big East, or ACC do a 2-1 with Nebraska?

The hypocrisy is this: They wanted a home and home with $1,000,000. Make up your mind...you're either our typical non BCS opponent who we pay anywhere from $600,000-$900,000 and you play us at our stadium, or we do a home and home and pay you nothing but the home gate like we do with BCS opponents (of course we also pay for travel and lodging expenses).

THem turning down a 2 for 1 with Nebraska then crying about no one wanting to play them really soured me on Boise.

Or the hypocrisy of turning down Idaho

BOOM!!

Forgot ALL about that one.

They're doing the exact same thing there that they're crying about.

Simma down now. The rating of conference strength at the end of the year for the past few seasons would disagree with you.

Exactly. It is as if they want reparations for past "wrongs"

didn't say that, but ok. they need a big stadium too.

I'm pulling for Boise and I'll pull for TCU as well. I love seeing non-traditional powers make runs because it gives me hope that something similar can actually happen someday at IU, hopefully in mine or my kids' lifetimes. I loved seeing KU and Wake do it a couple years ago and I have a ton of respect for the level of consistent competitiveness Northwestern has achieved because of that.

Not to be a huge homer but he got this from the Canes from back in the day and JJ and Schnelly.

The entire Canes legacy is based upon the extreme luck of getting to play a national championship game at home in 1984. Congratulations.

Its not their fault the Orange Bowl was their home stadium silly.

Thats like saying if the Cowboys make the super bowl this year they were lucky its at home.

They need a BCS bowl in Lincoln.

[Cnasty]

They need a BCS bowl in Lincoln.

Why? So their fans will be frustrated that their team never makes it?
