They played a team in their conference, what should they do? I mean come on, over-rated? They are a wac team. It's not like they are a big 12 team playing a bunch of AA teams. They play teams of their calibre, do I think they would stand a chance against a BCS conference team? No, but they do well in their conference.

Its San Jose State, I mean the media keeps hyping Hawaii as a "BCS Team", shouldint a BCS team be able to beat San Jose State pretty handidly, and not need to go to overtime to do it?

and for Brennan 9 combined INTs vs San Jose State and Idaho?

The same media that says, ""Stanford, Schmamford- USC is still alive?"

They are the WAC, it's not like they get a chance at five-star recruits. Give them at least the credit they deserve, they dominate their conference. I am not saying the guy should win awards, I am saying they do what needs to be done to win, just like we did in 2002.

They won't end at 16, or go undefeated, but give them the credit they deserve. Most teams fall down by two touchdowns with 10 minutes to go and the coach is starting to write his concession speach, yet these guys did what they could to win. They aren't in a major conference, we are. We can say "yeah, well we play 5 teams in the top 25 every year" but they don't get that opportunity. They play what they can and they win, give them at least that credit.

If they lose, what is going to happen to the Sugar Bowl?

Media darling Florida against overhyped Oklahoma? BOOORING!

I just hoped Hawaii gives the bowls a fresh face.

Do we really want to see the same old, same old from other conferences?

Every once in a while there is a mid major school that can play with the big boys. Last year Boise State vs Oklahoma was a great game. However, still I don't want to see a mid major (or Notre Dame for that matter) qualify for a BCS game as it could cost Ohio State a BCS game. There will be 10 teams playing in a BCS game come Jan 08. The six major conference winners will get an automatic bid. There are 4 more spots up for grabs. A mid major and/or Notre Dame could take one or more of the "at large" spots per BCS qualification criteria below:

Consider the scenario: scUM runs the table in the Big 10 and gets the Big 10 automatic bid. Ohio State finishes second in the Big 10 with one loss (to scUM) and has to compete for an "at large" BCS bid. The more available "at large" BCS bids the better the chances for Ohio State to get one.


Automatic qualification
1. The top two teams in the final BCS Standings will play in the national championship game.
2. The champions of the Atlantic Coast, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-10 and Southeastern Conferences automatically qualify for BCS games each year.
3. One team from among the champions of Conference USA, the Mid-American Conference, the Mountain West Conference, the Sun Belt Conference, or the Western Athletic Conference automatically qualify for a BCS game if either: A. Such team is ranked in the top 12 of the final BCS Standings, or, B. Such team is ranked in the top 16 of the final BCS Standings and its ranking in the final BCS Standings is higher than that of a champion of a conference that has an annual automatic berth in one of the BCS bowls.
4. Notre Dame will automatically qualify for a BCS bowl if it is in the top eight of the final BCS Standings.
5. If any of the 10 slots remain open after application of provisions 1 through 4, and an at-large team from a conference with an annual automatic berth for its champion is ranked No. 3 in the final BCS Standings, that team shall become an automatic qualifier.
6. If any of the 10 slots remain open after application of provisions 1 through 5, and if Step No. 5 has not been applied and an at-large team from a conference with an annual automatic berth for its champion is ranked No. 4 in the final BCS Standings, that team shall become an automatic qualifier. 7. If any slots remain unfilled after the placement of all teams qualifying for an automatic berth, then the bowls shall choose their participants from the "pool of eligible teams"

11 games. Boise St. is the king of the WAC. Hawaii is just the flavor of the month.

Boise state has played 1 conference game this year. I am not saying crown the Warriors the BCS story of the year, but give them the credit they deserve. They do what they need to do to win. Winning in overtime, or winning by 2 points is still winning, and that's what matters.

Hello, boring Florida and no-pass Tim Tebow, he of the Brady Quinn-esque hype.

Large Iowa women prefer Tebow over Hawaii four to one.

True. If they go undefeated then I say they deserve a BCS bowl. But, I don't think there's any chance that happens. I think they have 2 guaranteed losses ahead of them(BSU and UW) and 1 unexpected one.

Winning against whom though, with that lofty ranking, that in the end is what will (or should) really matter.
