And to think some of us wanted Chris Peterson...

Yep. I think we can safely remove Coach Chris Peterson from the short list of hopefuls to replace CMR if we duplicate this season next year.

That has to be the biggest choke I've seen in the past 10-15 years or so. Their kicker needs to be on suicide watch.

I think the Boise-Nevada game tonight was actually a very good argument against a playoff. Because their kicker couldn't hit a game winning field goal right there in front of the upright after a hail-Mary miracle by their superstar quarterback to bring them back from the dead, there will be no title game, no BCS bowl game, no conference championship, and no Heisman trophy. Boise just went from next big thing to nobody in the blink of an eye. In a playoff system, they simply would have gotten a lower seeding.

That choke was minor compared to the one Alabama pulled off. And of course that was not a valid argument against a playoff because there is no valid argument against a playoff. If there were then every other sport, division and level wouldn't have a playoff.

And in a playoff system they would still deserve a lower seed. You logic is missing here dude. BSU is still a good team. So is Nevada. Either could give LSU or several of the Big Ten bridesmaids a run.

BSU lost one game. By your thinking all one loss teams should be eliminated from a playoff? There would be no teams left most years in most sports.

Ummm, so because the kicker choked and the team lost for the first time in like 25 games, the only coach to win the Bear Bryant coach of the year award twice and have two undefeated seasons in his first 4 as head coach, as well as 2 BCS bowl wins, somehow isn't worthy of being considered to coach at UGA??? Not really sure I can get a firm grasp on that "logic".
And I think KD covered the playoff "logic" as well.

I think he is a great coach but c'mon on guys, they play NOBODY. Yes, I think they are good and can win ONE big game occasionally. Just think how they would have done being in the SEC West this year, having AU, Bama, LSU or Ark's schedules....uh......3 maybe 4 losses.

I'm sorry guys, just not buying it that they belong with the big boys YET until they prove it by playing in a decent conference. Next year they will be in a better conference and play TCU and Utah.....that's a little better.

I'm not touting the team for the championship game, wlayton. I'm saying I think the coach is good for what he's done with what he has to work with. No, BSU couldn't survive an SEC schedule, but they don't have SEC talent. Hell, we have SEC talent and we can't survive an SEC schedule. I think it's probably pretty hard to recruit kids to go to college in Idaho or Iowa or wherever in the hell Boise is. But, you're probably right, like usual.

I'm with ya sadlerdawg especially about Peterson being a very good coach. Do believe with the success he has had that he IS getting much better players now. Except for WHERE they are located, wouldn't you like to play for a coach like Peterson? I think he would be fun to play for....very smart coach.



(you trying to make me feel bad ?.....I'm no more right than anyone else......doesn't matter, you're still my friend whether I frustrate you or not... )
