I hereby declare Boise State as National Champs!


Derby

Recommended Posts

BSU hung 43 on OU.

Oklahoma was supposed to run all over BSU.

OSU was supposed to run all over UF.

Look how those turned out.

When the dust settled, BSU is the only one with the thing that matters:

A '0' in the loss column.

So was BYU really the best team in 1984? I am sorry, I forgot that many of those on this board were not even born in 1984, less remember that bowl season. Even with two losses, I would not want to play LSU next week in a "plus 1" game.

I definatley agree that right now LSU is the hottest team in the nation. As for BSU, I would recognize them as national champions if they played a non-conference schedule on par with Fresno State, but they dont. Sacramento State isn't exactly a powerhouse program. And lets also not forget that BSU did not completely dominate all year barely escaping against San Jose State and winning a close game versus Hawai'i.

Another thing to consider is that BSU's coach is content with a #5 rating saying that it is "fair". When the coach claims #5 is fair I don't know how you really can make an argument that they are #1. Here is the article CBS Sportsline article

BTW, before the game why didn't anyone say that it was Boise State, not Florida nor Michigan, to play Ohio State?

'Cause they're Boise State haters. :D More to the point, "mid-major haters."

Sorry, I mean't to say "who should play them." It was a comment about how BSU wasn't mentioned at all in the whole "Who should really play OSU?" controversy.

Reigning Champion...Dancing with the Stars

OOH. OOH.

The hyperdefensive position that gregjigga and BgMack and all those other people are assuming is funny.

First, don't you dare lump me in with BgMack's raving lunacy. It reminded me of the Howard Dean speech. We've won 2 football national championships...and a basketball national championship...and one in ultimate frisbee...and one in soccer...and 2 in swimming...and we put 200 student-athletes on the honor roll...and we're ranked 13th by US News...and 11th by Princeton Review...and second by Kiplinger's...and Emmitt Smith won Dancing with the Stars. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

I don't think anyone is jealous and I don't give a damn how many SEC volleyball championships they've won or where they're ranked by Kiplinger's.

Second, I'm not defensive at all. I don't give a :censored: about Florida or Boise State. I just wanted the Gators to win because I'm pretty anti-Big 11. I'm all for the little guy. I wanted BSU to play OSU...since they were the only undefeated teams. So put that in your pipe and smoke it, Chicago Boy.

Now, if people want to make sigs celebrating Boise State's undefeated season, I say go for it. Hell, I'll even make you one if you ask nicely. But that whole "National Champions" bull:censored: is just stupid. There is a BCS National Championship game, and the winner of that game is recognized as the bowl subdivision/D-I champion by the NCAA.

Actually that's not entirely correct.

The NCAA does not conduct a national championship in Division I-A football and is not involved in the selection process. Since 1998, the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) has conducted a contest between it's two top-ranked teams to determine a national champion.

That's why you get one of this:

Instead of one of these:

It's really just going to get into semantics. But to be fair, no organization has come forward to declare Boise their "National Champions" so they have no claim to a trophy.

Everyone who is pulling for Boise State is just jealous it's true. This whole thread is pointless and childish. The Florida Gators are the top team in the land...live with it and deal with it. Boise State is not the real Orange and Blue.

UF has students from every county in Florida, every state in the United States and over 100 countries.

I just don't get all of this. Maybe it's because I come from a city whose only major football team has only won two games in three years.

Honestly? No one has won the national championship. Boise State had the best record. Florida won the game that pitted the two teams at the top of the Excel spreadsheet when the head geek in charge hit the "sort" button. Until they play each other, neither one of them can claim jack.

College football is a farce. My opinion of it is the same that I hold for Yankees fans. Yankees fans, as individuals, are very nice people. Some of my closest friends are Yankees fans. But if you group them all together, they're utterly ridiculous and stupid... as a group.

Same goes for college football. I'll watch college football games and enjoy them throughly, being totally ignorant to the fact that, in most cases, these games mean nothing towards their chances of actually playing towards a national championship. College football games are very exciting. When you group them together, you get the BCS. Then it's just ridiculous and stupid.

[Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008
