I have read several comments from people saying Hawaii's pathetic performance hurts BYU's chances to make a BC$ game, my question is why?
If BYU is ranked in the top 12 and meets whatever other qualifications that are in place, then they get in, plain and simple, if you want to argue that the loss will make it harder for BYU to move up in the rankings, I suppose that arguement might have some validity.

I think it's really like saying South Florida and Connecticut's poor bowl performances hurt the chances of Virginia Tech winning the national championship next year.

Wow. Why does Georgia feel they need to challenge a first down (not even a TD) when they're up 35 in, basically, the fourth quarter?

This is the problem with scheduling weak teams in order to get into a BCS game. Sure, you might beat them all and get in, but you'll get embarrassed once you're there. Do you think people will remember that Hawai'i went undefeated in the regular season or just that they got embarrassed in their bowl game?

Mark Richt is the same guy that had his whole team rush the field on their 1st score vs Florida. Maybe the only one in the SEC with less class than Urban. I had to chuckle when Michigan beat Florida today.

Missouri deserved to play in the BCS
I think we'll find Kansas is a fraud too
We would have, had we beaten Tulsa
I honestly don't know if Arizona State was a BCS worthy team, but they had a solid resumee
Without their HC, I think Oklahoma will roll West Virginia by 20+


Honestly though think how nice a playoff would have been
Missouri vs USC would have been one hell of a 2nd rd game
(as some of you know Tony Temple grew up with me and my family, sleeping over, begging for spending cash, etc. etc.)

I don't expect Richt to call off the "dogs" it could get worse for Hawaii.
And while it's a bad message for the little guy, it's a good message for everyone scheduling patsies.....and the best Hawaiin players will still leave the islands.

You may be right about their defense, but I really dont think Georgia would put up 38 points on our defense. Granted some of those points came off of turnovers and short fields, but our defense is far and away much better than Hawaii's.

You're right, but I wonder how we would do against the run. Our D-Line isn't the biggest and UCLA had their way with us.

I don't think Hawaii's pathetic showing will hurt BYU at all next year. Everyone remembers Utah and Boise State. Those were great teams that played good schedules. They won most of their games handily. Hawaii, on the other hand, is a middle-of-the-road team that played a very weak schedules. And they didn't win handily.

Plus, BYU will start in the preseason Top 20 next year. If they win out, they will end up in the Top 10. I can guarantee that. Even BYU losing one game next year will still likely result in a BCS berth because of the high preseason ranking. Funny how much those preseason rankings affect the entire season.

I think 20 would be the best I would hope for. They seem to leave a lot of room for "non-bcs" teams to move up.

This backup is making Brennan look like a "system" qb
