I see your point about scheduling pansies, but BYU has too much pride to go through with it. They'll keep trying to bring in Notre Dame and USC or Arizona and UCLA. For better or worse. I thought of this as a rebuilding year going in and I'm ecstatic with a 10-2 finish and conference championship. Last season was a real lost opportunity.Scott Albrechthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09862656571382266427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-905059660302177205.post-65591544833065682482007-12-02T19:40:00.000-05:002007-12-02T19:40:00.000-05:00Nice work. I'm very pissed at the results of Saturday's games too. Instead of getting two teams that are relatively new to the elite national spotlight, we get an Ohio State team that has beaten? and an LSU team with two losses (oe of which was to an average at best kentucky team). Did I mention I hate both teams? <BR/><BR/>Good points on quarterbacks too. West Virginia looked listless with out White last night (although they didn't look great with him either) and Oregon's fall without Dixon is remarkable. <BR/><BR/>Unlike past years, I don't think we will have a champion. There is no 'best' team this year. There are about 5 or 6 good teams, but if OSU beats LSU in the BCS title game, I think you can still make a rational argument for a number of other teams. And if LSU wins the title with 2 losses?! I'm not sure if that has ever happened before.<BR/><BR/>One more thing. You alma mater should take some scheduling notes from Hawaii. Play some patsies, go 12-0 and play in a BCS bowl. I'm not gonna say Hawaii doesn't deserve a BCS bid (those are the rules, and none of the 3 ND team deserved their bid). I also have no doubt that BYU is a top-20 team and is just as good if not better team than Hawaii. They were very good last year too (witness their thrashing of Oregon). I hope Mendenhall stays there a while, it seems he has built a ream mid-major power.matthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07863019168368782406noreply@blogger.com
