We at #45. I could see us going 5-5 with teams #40-#50. Which is how it should work out, right?

Kinda off topic, but this picture just infuriates me. Boise shouldn't be allowed to wear blue at home.

Let it go and stop derailing threads.

Pretty sure you're gonna see Tech sliding down the totem pole for the rest of the year

Boise is way, way overrated in the USAToday poll. Fresno too.

You know the best way to stop what you consider thread derailment? ??? Don't reply to it.

More to the point of the thread, do you expect this to be a lenghthy conversation? Things are working out just as most who know anything about this conference and the new teams expected.

I disagree on Fresno. I think they're legit this year. They've got one hell of a QB there. I believe they'll beat Boise this week and go on to win the MWC. Have you seen them play?

No I am pretty sure the best way to stop thread derailment is to stay on topic.

I think Utah St will have something to say about that. Both are better than Boise.

Then Rutgers must be really underrrated at 47th, because Fresno State beat Rutgers by 1 point in overtime at Fresno State. The only reason there was even an overtime to begin with was because the Rutgers kicker missed a chip shot field goal at the end of regulation.

You don't judge a team off one performance.

So what? It was an opening game played late and Rutgers had a pretty good D last year. Coincidentally Fresno also blew out Cal but you didn't mention that.

They won and that's all that really matters. VTech lost to James Madison and went on to win the ACC a couple of years ago. I don't remember anybody saying VT wasn't the best of the ACC that year.

Then UNT shouldn't be allowed to wear green anywhere.

Yes you can. People do it all the time. UConn lost to an FCS team and USF lost to an FCS team and right away people said that they stunk. So people judge teams all the time off just one performance.

You just gave support to my position. The game was played late in California. Rutgers traveled all the way there from New Jersey. The game didn't end until after 12:00 A.M. Central Time, which was after 1:00 A.M. Eastern Time which is the time that Rutgers players are on.

BTW, Fresno State has not played Cal this year. Cal lost to Northwestern and Ohio State. And Cal beat Portland State, which is probably why I didn't mention Fresno State beating Cal; because they have not played each other. And if you are mentioning that Fresno beat Cal last year, then you ought to also mention that SMU absolutely destroyed Fresno State in the Hawaii Bowl; which proves even more that Fresno State is overrated.

I didn't say you couldn't do it. Reality is you shouldn't.
