I would be more prone to believe if we would actually play someone really good and do well. Maybe I will feel better once we start hitting the road this season and winning convincingly. I said before, I am going to enjoy this season one game at a time. Go Cougars, Beat The Pokes!

The MWC looks nicer, but that doesnt make it "good." It speaks more to the level of disparity....before, we werent even close as a conference. This year, as you pointed out, the gap has closed. As for SC, you know too much about football to make such a silly argument. This is why all but 3 or 4 coaches voted SC #1....they have more talent than anyone in the country, by a wide margin. Their conference affiliation is irrelevant. Nobody worried about the Pats' 3 superbowl championships coming out of a division with the Jets and the Dolphins (yikes!). My biggest concern with BYu is the defense. We are inconsistent. We were downright lousy against UW, then we play lights out against UCLA. Our offense has been fairly consistent in all 3 games. So which D is showing up this Saturday? My main point is not to say that BYU is not good or having a great season thus far. I think they are doing very well and are poised for greatness. I just don't get all the BCS talk right now after 3 games, all against mediocre to poor teams. How laughable. The last time BYU fans got carried away with the BCS, we lost focus and ended the season with 2 straight losses....nice statement for a team that felt it deserved better.

I understand your point, and i would agree....their schedule looks favorable to make a BCS run. I meant all the talk about BYU being as good as the big boys. I don't get that.

I personally believe that SC is the best team in the country. But I am telling you right now that if the Pac-10 continues to have a "down" year. The SEC and Big 12 will be putting teams in the National championship game if they are undefeated. If Oklahoma and Florida get through their schedules unbeaten they will both play in the NC over USC. Regarding BYU, the BCS talk has to do with the media creating a BCS buster every season. People love to cheer for the underdog. BYU fans have embraced this role and they are running with it. I have no problem with it because after starting 3 straight years 1-2 its nice to be 3-0 and still have those aspirations as a possibility. Also I still believe if Washington or UCLA were to play a MWC schedule they would finish no worse than 4th or 5th in the conference. Which means in my opinion we should not be tested until TCU and then Utah.

If SC wins out, I don't see how would they not make the NC game. They are #1 by a wide margin in the polls. I don't think anyone cares how awful Washington State is when assessing SC as the top team in the country.
