I don't care what you guys say about the BCS, but to me Alabama losing today was a good thing. I can't stand them or Nick Saban for that matter. Congrats to SoCar for the great win!

Now we just needs the Canes to down FSU!
i think you mean congrats to USC for beating Bama, not SoCar
Both were pretty sorry games. The Sugar Bowl was probably the worst though with a badly overrated, undefeated (due to a weak Big East) Cincinnati team getting destroyed by Florida.
What an embarrassment for Iowa St. trailing Utah 61-20 in their own house. And it's still early in the 4th quarter. Maybe people are crowning TCU as undefeated too early. Utah has a very good chance of beating them and taking the Mountain West Conference this year.

What a terrible performance for the Canes. Losing 45-17 in your own house to an in-state rival in inexcusible.
I don't know what to make of FSU. They got destroyed by Oklahoma but have won all their other games in a blowout. With a very weak schedule remaining it's possible they could go into their last game against Florida with only 1 loss.
Good job Stanford! Way to beat the University of Stolen Cars.
They aren't missing out on much by being bowl ineligible this year. USC already has 2 losses and looking at their schedule they'll probably lose 2 or 3 more. All they missed out on is another 3rd tier bowl game like the Emerald Bowl they went to last year.
BOISE, Idaho -- Kellen Moore and No. 4 Boise State made it look easy from the start.
The Broncos needed five plays and a little more than two minutes to score their first touchdown, their quickest opening score this season.
With the help of an opportunistic defense, Moore directed Boise State to touchdowns on four of its next six first-half possessions and cruised to a 57-14 victory over Toledo Saturday night.
Looking to impress voters after dropping a spot in the polls, Boise State (5-0) can't afford letting lesser opponents that make up their midseason schedule hang around.
That wasn't a problem against Toledo. Moore threw three touchdowns in the first half, the offense rolled up 500 total yards and that starters started getting rest early in the third quarter.
"We don't want to hold anything back. We want to go fast from start to finish. Some games it may not seem like that," coach Chris Petersen said. "But part of that is that we want to show new stuff. We want the next team to put the film on and say, 'We have to prepare for all this stuff?'"
The victory also extended Boise State's unbeaten streak to 19 games. Thanks to No. 19 South Carolina's upset over top-ranked Alabama Saturday, the Broncos now own the nation's longest winning streak. The next closest team is No. 2 Ohio State, which has now won 12 in a row.
The Broncos also got plenty of help from the stingy defense, which came into the game allowing just 223.5 yards per game, the nation's best.
The Broncos forced five turnovers, two of which spoiled Toledo first-half scoring drives and led to Boise State points.
Then on Toledo's opening drive of the second half, defensive end Shea McClellin stepped in front of a pass by Austin Dantin and rumbled 36 yards for a score that put Boise State up 43-7.
"Turnovers are really the key to football," said Moore, who was 16 of 22 for 267 yards passing. "Points come quickly when turnovers happen. And before you know it, you've got a few points on the board."
Toledo (3-3) was able to move the ball early, too.
The Rockets, who had won all three of their games on the road, scored in the first quarter on a 4-yard run by Dantin to pull within 15-7.
But two other promising drives were spoiled by miscues, the first when Dantin's pass deflected off the hands of Kenny Stafford and was intercepted by Brandyn Thompson at the Broncos 16.
One possession later, Adonis Thomas caught a screen pass and ran into Boise territory, but coughed up the ball after being stripped by George Iloka.
Toledo had 287 total yards, 65 rushing.
"We had an opportunity, probably, to score 21 points," said Rockets coach Tim Beckman, who preached ball control all week after his team fell victim to fumbles and interceptions in a loss to Wyoming last week.
"When you're playing at team like Boise State, a team that's built this legacy that they've got now, you cannot beat yourself that way."
Dantin, who was carted off the field in the third quarter with a concussion after colliding with a Broncos defender, was 13 of 18 for 167 yards and two interceptions. He split time with redshirt freshman Terrence Owens, who was 8 of 11 for 55 yards, including a 7-yard touchdown to Danny Noble in the closing minutes of the game.
Jeremy Avery ran for three touchdowns for Boise State. Titus Young had six catches for 97 yards, including a 51-yard touchdown in the second quarter, and Kyle Efaw caught a TD pass.
What a terrible performance for the Canes. Losing 45-17 in your own house to an in-state rival in inexcusible.

Are you kidding me... how is Ohio St. #1? They've beaten ZERO teams currently ranked in the top 25 now that Miami has fallen out. Oregon has played a much more difficult schedule. So has Oklahoma and you could argue Boise's schedule has been better than OSU's. Who are these idiots who do the voting? Oh that's right... the coaches.

This isn't even the Ohio State teams from a few years ago that were perennial contenders, this Ohio State team would get killed by those.
Thats not saying much those teams got smashed by LSU and Florida
Remember the "greatness" that was Troy Smith? One of the worst excuses for a Heisman winner ever and a good example of why the Heisman should be given out AFTER Bowl games.
Troy Smith in the national title game against Florida:
4 for 14 passing for 35 yards
0 TD/1 INT
-29 yards rushing
41-14 loss
Actually Terrelle Pryor reminds me a bit of Troy Smith. If OSU makes the national title game I'll bet we see similar numbers, unless it's against Boise St.

I can't even watch CFB:Live because all they talk about is how Pryor deserves the Heisman this year he's played no one other then an above average and rebuilding Miami.
