Why does Boise ST get so much love? weak conference, weak schedule but 14th in the AP? 16th coaches poll?

I agree Boise St is living off the Fiesta bowl 3 years ago

they have been nothing special in a bad conference since.

to add to your east carolina arguement. ECU beat BSU 2 years ago in the aloha bowl and the espn media heads still wont give ecu any respect. So much for east coast bias

The polls are according to human subjective balloting. In concept, they're meant to rank the 25 maximum suitable communities interior the rustic, from first to maximum suitable. In practice, they have each and each made 'policies' as much as verify the thank you to circulate communities up and the thank you to circulate them down (some without delay drop a team after a loss, regardless of if that's an extensive activity against the #one million team interior the rustic - while you're no longer #one million your self, then you definately are *meant* to lose to them). yet thus far, they have in basic terms dropped one million spot, to a team that's been blowing away incredibly much each physique they have performed, alongside with a real 10 team from their own convention. Watch what happens whilst the 'BCS' scores initiate. whilst they have the coaches & Harris polls as a great weight on them, additionally they have various computing gadget scores that do get thrown into the aggregate. They *do* evaluate who they have performed, and are *required* to forget approximately margin of victory (Sagarin publishes 2 scores, one that doesn't comprise the margin of victory that the Harris makes use of, and one that does which he considers the plenty extra precise form). the biggest problem w/ huge time college activities (plenty worse in hoops than soccer): Unbalanced scheduling. whilst's the final time a vehicle-BCS convention team's performed an excellent 6 domicile/6 away time table? And in hoops, what share communities do the Boeheim form and incredibly play 12 out of 13 video games at domicile until now convention play starts off?

They should be in the top 10 with Utah and Ohio St. should be 18-20

I am not really sure. I guess they want to give the non-bcs teams a chance and a shot at a BCS bowl.

Cause` they ROCK!
