If there was enough public outcry and the Buckeyes beat Florida, why shouldn't Boise State play OSU?

Question

I know it won't happen because God forbid the BCS should ever be upstaged. But let's say the game took place, what do you think the outcome would be?

Answer 1

The question is interesting in that we are talking about the opportunity and not so much the outcome of the game. The BCS is failing miserably in it's attempt to crown a national champion each year and everyone knows it. The traditional bowl games seem to be the major hang up and a playoff system would somehow dilute the four major bowl games. I've always said that the bowl games really mean nothing in terms of a national champion and never have. The games still can be played as part of a playoff tournament with the national championship game being played as one of the bowls on a rotating basis. It's not rocket science for Pete sakes.

To finally answer your question, I'd have to say that the Buckeyes would be the overwhelming favorite to win but after what I saw last night it would make for an exciting game. Oklahoma was no pushover to be sure.

Again it's about the opportunity to play for a national championship and the BCS doesn't allow that to happen.

Answer 2

Because the system is in place and was agreed upon before the season started and "public outcry" won't create an extra game.
Ohio St OR Florida would pummel Boise! Boise's in the frickin' WAC, for God sake!

Answer 3

I think ohio state would win, but I also beleive Boise at least deserves a chance. They proved they are one of the elite teams. I really would have loved to see a play off this year, Wisconsin, Michigan, USC, Florida, LSU, Ohio State and Boise all deserved a shot. They really really need to scrap the BCS, they can even scrap the BCS bowls and just take those teams that would have played in them, and put them in the playoffs, keep the rest fof the bowls...just playoffs anyway

Answer 4

Ohio State would win, but, I have always thought that Ohio State should be playing Boise State. They are the only two undefeated teams in the country. This strength of schedule crap is exactly that, crap. Boise State proved that when they beat Oklahoma.

Answer 5

The system is dying. It won't happen this year, but changes could take place next year.

Writers across the country have been dissing the system, saying how there needs to be a playoff. Even ESPN is starting to play into it, making a "how it would happen if it was a playoff" board, crowning LSU as the eventual winner.

People are getting fed up with it, it's going down soon enough.

Answer 6

Because OSU would be the first real football team that Boise State played all year.

Answer 7

Because the BCS already decided that the team with the best chance to beat OSU had their chance, nobody else can beat them. I think OSU would win. Oklahoma isn't that good. Also OSU had a much harder schedule, the big Ten is so much harder to go undefeated in than the WAC.

Answer 8

Boise State. They pull out the right plays at the right time!

Answer 9

I think Ohio St would win but it would be close and exciting. It would be less than 3 pts. I would like to see iot coz Boise St. finished undefeated too and Ohio St Boise St would be a great matchup

Answer 10

No it won't be adequate. they might desire to be banned for existence. because of the fact of their act finished gamers and their company have been given Tarnished. As you suggested different hundreds of harmless cricketer whose each wide-spread interest from now onwards may be under doubt and suspicion. my heart is going to those cricketers households , they might have sacrificed the wonderful of those youthful days, many extra issues to lead them to cricketers.What an suffering for them. The proud mom and dad and the siblings of cricketers existence long gone in to smoke by technique of one stoke of mistake. I say the circumstances that brought about those scandal might desire to be acceptable investigated. no remember if that is finished in greed shoud be punished with existence ban. If there is an iota of innocence then they might desire to be couselled and shop them away for few years. furnish them some decision because of the fact they knew no different commerce yet palying cricket. think of from thier attitude too.
