Bronco just said we're replacing Nevada with a crappy team
 
In the halftime interview of the basketball game he basically said we'll be scheduling an opponent of "lesser caliber" and said the BCS will be rewarding wins/losses and not SOS. Blech, so much for the FSU rumors.

i hope that it doesn't backfire and byu finally gets into the bcs...

i worry, though, that after hawaii gets blown out that there could be a change in attitude in the bcs about strength of schedule.

if i remember correctly, early on with the bcs margin of victory used to be a category for evaluation, but when teams kept running up the score they took that out of the equation.

NCAA Abandons BCS, Implements New Argument-Based System For Determining College Football Rankings

INDIANAPOLIS—The NCAA Board of Governors announced Monday that it would be abandoning the complicated BCS formula, with its interdependent network of media and coaches polls and computer rankings, in favor of a more streamlined and manageable system consisting of millions of arguments among fans. "We feel that by monitoring opinions expressed during football-related arguments held in the nation's bars, restaurants, lunchrooms, Internet message boards, and dinner tables, we can amass all the data we need to rank the nation's college football teams throughout the season," NCAA president Myles Brand said in a press release detailing the argument-monitoring system already in place at most Division I colleges. "The best thing about this system is that arguments about the accuracy of the previous week's arguments are automatically factored in to each week's rankings. We feel we've finally found the solution fans have been demanding for years."

I know that the Bronc is right (for now) about the scheduling thing, but I don't have to like it, and I don't.
