Wowwwwwwww

What an unbelievable day of football and a crazy crazy finish in Boise. I think I'm gonna be sick. Kyle Brotzman is the sickest man in the entire state of Idaho right now.

I'm literally positive he made the field goal. I'm just sick right now. I can't believe it.

I went 1-4 today. Awesome. I just bought a Boise St hoodie four hours ago and put it in a bag with a Vikings hoodie. I think I stained them. This is my fault.

So where does this leave the BCS bowls, assuming the top 3 win out? Does Boise still get an at large, any shot at one? I really doubt it. They might be playing at home in their bowl game. Sorry Boise students, no new student center for you, how do you feel about a statue of Kyle Brotzman instead, something to pee on every time you walk past?

Title game - Auburn vs Oregon
Rose Bowl - Stanford vs Wisconsin
Fiesta Bowl - Oklahoma or Okie St vs Ohio St
Sugar Bowl - LSU or Arkansas vs TCU
Orange Bowl - Virginia Tech vs Connecticut (gross)

I don't think Boise is getting their BCS bid. There are four at larges. One goes to TCU, and one would certainly go to 1-loss Stanford and another to a 1-loss Ohio St (or Mich St, but probably OSU). That leaves one spot left. It would almost certainly go to 1-loss LSU if they win tomorrow against Arkansas. But if they lose, then what happens? Do you take Boise, or Nevada for that matter? Or do you go with a 2-loss Arkansas team? Or maybe a 2-loss Mizzou squad (unlikely)? To me Boise is still the pick there, but I think Arkansas might get the spot. I believe that suddenly makes LSU-Arkansas tomorrow afternoon something of a BCS play-in game almost.

If Auburn loses to SC...
Title game - TCU vs Oregon
Rose Bowl - Stanford vs Wisconsin
Fiesta Bowl - Oklahoma or Okie St vs Boise St
Sugar Bowl - Auburn vs Ohio St
Orange Bowl - Virginia Tech vs Connecticut (gross)

If Oregon loses to Oregon St...
Title game - Auburn vs TCU
Rose Bowl - Oregon vs Wisconsin
Fiesta Bowl - Oklahoma or Okie St vs Stanford
Sugar Bowl - LSU or Arkansas vs Ohio St
Orange Bowl - Virginia Tech vs Connecticut (gross)

Looks to me like Boise needs to root for SC to take down Auburn. If they do, then Auburn goes to the Sugar Bowl and it's the Fiesta that needs an at large team, and I think they can get more Boise fans out there than Arkansas or Mizzou. If Oregon loses I think they and Stanford still get their spots for sure, but this time the extra bid is in the Sugar Bowl and I think New Orleans wants an SEC squad.

Still can't believe all that just happened. Or that any of this matters so that we can send UConn to a BCS game to take a spot away from one of these teams tonight.

I think Boise St is still ranked in the top 10 at the end of this week. Right around the Nebraska / Michigan St range. They shouldn't be penalized hugely for an overtime road loss against a top 20 opponent - how far would Auburn have fallen for a 3 point loss in Alabama today? Top 7 or 8 still for sure. No reason to penalize Boise more. Especially when he made that field goal.

I think I need to return that sweatshirt tomorrow. I feel sick.
