Oh, this place is quiet tonight
There's no Monday Night Football on Wednesday.

And there's no baseball until tomorrow.

1. Boise St beat Tulsa on the road tonight
Edited on Wed Oct-14-09 11:57 PM by JonLP24
Presumably the last roadblock on their way to an undefeated season. Still have a lot of games still to play but should be heavy favorites the rest of the way through. Hawaii, Lousiana Tech, and Nevada could be spoilers but they have not looked hot this season.

3. Again I ask---why are they number 5?
Edited on Thu Oct-15-09 06:25 AM by trumad
They have played only one ranked team this whole season. They scraped by Tulsa---are you kidding me?

Cinci hasn't played one ranked team but will finally play one tonight with South Florida.

5. Tulsa had a great chance to win that game.
Just another little umpf on that last pass, and they're a point away from tying the game. I don't get the high ranking either. I mean, I like how they play, and their win over Oklahoma a few years ago was the stuff of legends, but c'mon, give my Gophers their schedule and they might be undefeated too.

6. It was a great win against a n OK team that was reloading..
but so what...

Put them in a real conference if the powers to be think they are a top 10 team.

7. Did you also notice that there are three Mountain west teams in the top 25?
And only four SEC?

Quit griping. And watch out for TCU!

9. So watch them in the bowls when they...
beat or do well against ranked teams. They are high in the polls for a reason.

10. For what reason---beating unranked teams?
At least Boise beat one ranked team.

4. The US tied Costa Rica...
clinching top spot in Concacaf (which means they'll probably get a #1 seed next summer). Good job, considering the emotional week they've had.
