No review of the Boise fumble? Does anyone else find it suspicious that a potential turnover at the end of the quarter didn't merit a page from the replay booth?

OT! Brotzman should have his own annual parade in Reno if the Wolfpack can win this one.
On Edit: Agree with MCI, now I just feel terrible for Brotzman. However, that's balanced out by two seniors who are all-time greats at their school getting the biggest win of their careers/biggest ever win for their program on Senior Night. That's pretty cool.

Seemingly good crowd in Reno. WOW - another botched FG. Bedlam in Reno. BSU could not take a game away from the Smurf Turf.

If the Boise St. kicker were a Colombian soccer player...well, to be honest, I think he'd need police protection either way. Wow. What a horrible way to lose.

He's a kicker--they are worthless---go cry and eat some potatoes--CinderFELLA is DEAD!!!
If you can't make a damn extra point (distance of FG attempts)--not once but twice--you don't deserve to win a game or play. One less thing ESPN can shove down America's throat--maybe the kicker can seek counsel from Denise Austin and go have some crinkle cuts!
Great game--one of the greatest choke jobs of all time--and ridding country of a turd burglar who was going to sneak in and ruin a National Championship game with a substandard schedule. To put things in perspective, I remember when USC got DESTROYED by the ESPN "Experts" for "only beating Hawaii by 13 pts and being the 1st game of year doesn't matter--Hawaii is bad........" and Hawaii is now in 3 way tie for 1st place with Boise State and Nevada. Boise beats a VA Tech team in a game that is moved to help them prepare (as always is the case with that program) and we're supposed to be in awe. Screw them. Hope the kicker's pain is felt by every cinderfella rooting fan in the country---these teams can't do it week in/week out, and they were getting full of themselves. Humble pie taste as good as a potato pancake?

I don't have a problem with TCU--they at least have consistently played a tough schedule, have a league where a legitimate program has been established---Utah--who also consistently plays people out of conference. Just can't stand Boise State and their whining---"people don't want to play us........" well don't ask for 2-2.5 million for a game then and play back to back games like everyone else does--and see how you hold up? They didn't get their usual 4/5 weeks to prep for yesterday's game--only 2-3 and they still lost. ESPN created this garbage and can shove it up Herbstreit's ass.

Week 13 Picks for Games That Matter: Question for kchoya: If Utah wins on Saturday, both the Utes and Utah State would be 1-0 against fellow Utah schools this season. Which school (if any) would receive the Beehive Boot? I've only been here 5 years, so I'm not well-versed in the intricacies of the Beehive Boot. I just like Utah and BYU to continue sniping at each other. However, I'm sure that Utah would gladly give the trophy to the Aggies in exchange for beating the Cougars today.

Cam Newton....#1 draft pick. Heisman Trophy winner. BCA Champion. This young man deserves it all. Anyone if he has a bonus clause in his contract for winning the Heisman? $10,000? $20,000?

Boise State just doesn't have the depth to run thru a BCS conference. That team was gassed in the fourth quarter and Nevada just ran the ball and shoved it down their throats. In a one game scenario, yes, Boise State can compete with anybody, they have shown that they are capable. However, you play in a conference like the SEC and you need bodies. The week to week grind is ridiculous and the injuries add up. Alabama, LSU, Florida etc., they run 7 or 8 capable lineman and when one goes down, another runs out on to the field.

Help me Oregon State Nevada, you're my only hope. This evening's programming consisted mainly of Disney's Boise State sales pitch to American households. Stab me. Fixed. The second half of that Week 1 post remains unaltered. Boise State plays in a conference that has a television contract with ESPN. TCU plays in a conference that airs its games on Versus and CBS College Sports. Boise played in prime time nearly every Friday evening this fall. An ESPN talking head recently chided voters for allegedly (how would they know?) not watching Boise State or TCU's televised games. It's been a season-long sales pitch, folks, and it continued last night when it looked as if Boise would win, and Rod Gilmore helpfully pointed out that this AWESOMEAWESOMEAWESOME Bronco team would likely jump TCU for third in the BCS standings and play in the storied Rose Bowl Game...which will be airing on the "Family of Networks." Fact is, Boise lost the ONLY semi-tough road game on this season's schedule (NB: the Broncos played Va. Tech in Landover, not Blacksburg). ESPN got what it wanted (ratings for crappy blowout WAC games), and I got what I wanted (Boise nowhere near the national championship), so everyone wins.

TCU opens with a four play, 80 yard drive, 13:48 1st. New Mexico forgot to send someone onto the field to guard the Frogs' WR...20 yards later, a touchdown.
Update: 9:34 1st, 14-0.
Update: 6:38 1st, 21-0.
Each was caught by an uncovered receiver.

That's the biggest argument against a school like Boise State - yeah, they can beat VT or ORegon when they have all offseason to prep. But it's the week-to-week grind that makes the bigger conferences that much harder. Now, it sucks that BYU-Utah was stuck on theMtn. Another classic finish between these two bitter rivals. This series never fails to live up to the hype.

Looks like UM Prez Donna Shalala is pulling an emergency meeting tonight to discuss Blank Stare's future. (EDIT: Must not have been a long discussion: sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=5858214) Clappy might have his choice of two former UM Defensive Coordinators to come on down to UTSA if Rutgers figures out two years too late that the Schiano thing ain't working.

Well, Boise State will be moving to the Mountain West next year, so it will have that going for it. With #4 Boise and #5 LSU losing today, #6 Stanford beat Oregon State 38-0 and is primed to jump to #4. Now, Stanford will sit back and relax and wait for the BCS to select them for one of their bowls. I think this team has national championship potential, but the lack of the playoff will likely render that impossible. However, if they are not selected for a BCS bowl, it will be the biggest travesty of all time. Unfortunately, Stanford still struggles with fan support, as there were only 38,775 in attendance on Senior Day at the 50,000 capacity, recently renovated Stanford Stadium. If their lack of a strong fan following keeps them out of a BCS bowl, then I will boycott college football forever. Good recent article in the San Jose Mercury News about the struggle to fill a stadium for a top 10 football team that should be in the national title conversation: www.mercurynews.com/ci_16712437?IADID=Search-www.mercurynews.com-www.mercurynews.com

At #4, how could they not be selected for a BCS game? Is that another hair-brained wrinkle in the BCS system?

At #4, how could they not be selected for a BCS game? Is that another hair-brained wrinkle in the BCS system? Yes. www.bcsfootball.org/news/story?id=4819597 gives a rundown. Including TCU, which gets in based on criteria, the other BCS conference get bids. That's seven. But there are five BCS bowls, so there need to be three more teams. The only criteria for those teams is that they win nine games and be ranked in the BCS top 14. After that, the bowls can choose. Until Boise laid an egg, this was going to hammer Stanford, who would lose the PAC-10 champ bid to Oregon and who doesn't draw well. Given their dominating win and Andrew Luck, they may sneak in. Who was Stanford competing against? Given current BCS bowl projections from ESPN, Nebraska, Oklahoma State, Ohio State, and TCU - all of whom (save TCU) Stanford comfortably outranks. espn.go.com/college-football/bowls/projectionsThis has happened before. A few years, Mizzou lost the Big 12 championship game. They were passed over for a BCS bid by Kansas, whom they had beaten a few weeks before, because the Jayhawks were considered a better draw. This is why the BCS is evil. But you knew that already.

My understanding is if Stanford finishes the season third or fourth in the BCS and Oregon goes to the national title game, the Cardinal will be guaranteed one of the remaining at-large berths to a BCS bowl.
