I didn't see the game, but what would you have done? I think most teams would have gone for it.

You really buy into this common opponent thing, don't you? Apparently, in SU world, if Team A beats Team B, and Team B then beats Team C, then Team A DEFINITELY is better than Team C. Right?

Flawless logic. I doubt that formula has ever once broken down.

Even better logic is saying that because Team A beat Team B by 14 points, but team C beat Team B by 50 points, Team C is DEFINITELY better than Team A, and would beat Team A on any given day by 36 points. That also has proven to be true 100% of the time. FACT.

I hope to God we don't go to a BCS bowl. This BYU team has over-achieved so far. A BCS bowl would be disaster.

If that is the case, BYU could sneak in if they are ranked between 12-16 and no other non-BCS team is ahead of them. We need Ball State, BSU, Tulsa and TCU to lose. We can beat Utah, so they aren't a factor.

EDIT: I just looked at the rankings, and BYU is still above Tulsa and Ball State. We really only need Utah (or someone else) to beat TCU, and BSU to lose. And we need to win out. That isn't as improbable as I would have thought. That said, this team needs to refocus quickly or they will lose again.

$50 dollar wager on BYU vs. Utah.....straight up. I'll take Utah. YOu take BYU.

If you kneel down, you've just insulted the opposing team. Same with a FG or pass play.

Oregon State 45 Hawaii 7. BSU 27 Hawaii 7. Both winners at home.

The numbers don't lie. BSU is overrated. OSU would beat them.

Sadly I really have to agree with SU, OS is underrated considering they aren't even getting votes. They are vastly underrated. I see them handling their remaining home games fairly easily.

The odd thing is, in this thread SU is championing OSU.

Yet in his rambling fairness thread, he uses OSU as an example as to why SC is not deserving.

For those that don't understand the rankings:

The AP Poll no longer means anything

The BCS Poll is out

BYU is #21
