This is great news if you're a TCU fan. They now have a legit chance to jump Boise State in the coming weeks if they keep winning.
Well they were likely to do so anyway due to conference schedule being tougher. Also today really gets you to wonder about the ACC in terms of an auto bid.

If I am not mistaken isn't some of the numbers for the ACC keeping their auto-bid a bit shaky? I get a feeling if it is this will be the argument for the MWC to gain an AQ saying that using the numbers to get a waiver the ACC would need a waiver to keep theirs.
You all sholdn't be so down on BSU fans. Can you really expect us not to get a little excited. We have no pro sports team. We live in an isolated city out of the way, which has a lot to offer but doesn't get a lot of noteriety. BSU football has brought some great things to Boise and to expect the fans to just take an approach of "Meh, well to tell you the truth we are a little overrated dear." is pretty ridiculous. We've done everything asked of us. All we can do is win and wish. We would take an offer for a BCS conference, but that ain't happening.
So pardon us if we get a little excited, when we're ranked third in the nation.
BTW who is your school?
First part of this post is off topic.I think Boise is overrated.

Think Florida State, Miami, Georgia Tech, or Virginia Tech are willing to go without a AQ to a BCS?
People seem to forget that, yes, Boise St. has a softer conference schedule than say Ohio St or Alabama, but for Boise St. every game is a "championship game". If they slip up once, that's it for any championship game hopes. Even if they win out, every win will be scrutinized to death.
OSU/Bama et. al do get the luxury of having a loss overlooked. I was at the Tennessee/Alabama game last year and if a nose tackle named Cody doesn't block those field goal tries, the Vols win that game. But 'Bama would have not have suddenly dropped 15 places in the rankings, would they??
Well, I wasn't intending to foreshadow anything - but with the VT loss, let the scrutiny begin!

The BCS commissioners and all AQ conferences have repeatedly stated that none of the conferences are in danger of losing their auto-bid status. As crappy as the ACC has been, there's no chance the BCS is going to revoke their autobid to the Orange bowl, nor the Big East for that matter.
The BCS is a business arrangement, not an organization that is trying to make it fair for everyone. The bottom line is who is going to make them the most money in their high profile games. The programs in all the AQ conferences bring in way too much money and media contracts for them to be cut out. No way the MWC replaces the ACC for their auto-bid; however, I could see the MWC being added in the future, and I think they've proven they should be added.
I try not to start too many threads that will not get many responses. So, I figured I would just add to this one. This weekend I will be rooting for the Oregon State Barkrats, aka Nutria, aka Lil' Sister, aka the hicks from Corvallis, aka the dudes who steal gay sheep (no joke,Edit-Yes iIdo have a sense of humor, but I don't believe gay sheep belongs in this conversation! I have absolutely no problem with their dumb a** claiming they beat BSU and we could not. We all know who is a better team. So, come on Beavis, beat Boise Stat
Its really the table they run. The rating are always based ont eh ratings of team you play. just as it is in any sport. Having a tough schedule takes its toll on a team while some shcedules are easy. you do not get to #1 by playing one tough game a year and 11 easy games. Each team you play plus their rsults aginst other tems is rated by the computers and thsoe who know sports. Thatsi why the BCS is closer to a chmpio each year than the politcal voting polls ever where.Tjsi eyar much of Boase was restig on just how well Virgina Tech dd aginst their other opponets since their schedue is not very tough.
I'll be rooting for the Beavers as well... I have a feeling most of the country will be rooting for Oregon State. I think people are getting tired of Boise State... time for the fairy tale to end.
