This Post Is About College Football

Fair warning. You know what you're getting into JoP faithful.

Now, about Boise State. This is so radical, so important in the history of college football, and especially the BCS, that this next statement warrants its own paragraph.

Boise State can win the national championship.

Believe it. First they must win all of their games. They can do it. At the moment only three of their remaining opponents have winning records. But that Boise State could go 13-0 in the WAC is not the story.

This week the Broncos are ranked #5 in both polls that play a factor in the BCS, which determines who plays for the national championship. Number 5 is neither #1 nor #2. But ahead of them are 3 SEC teams. Alabama and LSU play each other this season. Whichever team wins could play Florida for the SEC championship, provided the Gators remain unscathed in their division.

This means that AT LEAST 2 teams ahead of Boise State MUST lose later this season. All they would need is for the third SEC team, or Texas, to lose once this season, at any time, to move into that #2 spot in the polls. This is how college football polling has always worked. You keep winning and you move up. No one ever passes you.

If it happens this year, it will be an all-time injustice. If Texas and the SEC champion are unbeaten, well that sucks too, but less badly. This season I'm rooting for Boise State, the ultimate underdogs.
