Hawai'i 39... Boise State 27...

Ryan Kock · 11-24-2007, 01:38 PM

Hawai'i won but should they be in the National Championship game?

CrossCyed · 11-24-2007, 01:39 PM

No. Not at all.

Cyclone62 · 11-24-2007, 01:40 PM

No, they shouldn't.

Ryan Kock · 11-24-2007, 01:41 PM

Why no love for Hawai'i?

Under the current system I agree, but the current system is broken. Hawaii deserves a shot in a legit playoff like every other level of football plays.

Ryan, are you ktoddcyclones?

I agree, if they beat Washington, they deserve to get into the BCS Bowls. But if they get there, and they get blown out, it'll be hard to say they even deserved that chance.

Yeah , I agree I would rather se a good game between Mizzou and West Virginia than Hawai'i get blown out by Mizzou.

I'm curious to know what it is about Washington that catapults Hawaii?

I was happy to see Boise State lose. Hated them ever since 2002. As well as they do every year, it's time for them to move to another conference.

Is it because they aren't in one of the "major" conferences? (Big11, Big12, SEC, ACC, Pac10) I really think the Utah team of 2004 got screwed out of a shot at the Nat'l Title.. yes, they were in the BCS and whooped up on a very mediocre Pitt team, but I thought that Utah could have gone toe-to-toe with anyone that year.

How would Hawaii have fared with Kansas' schedule this year? If KU wins out, they are in the title game, if Hawaii wins out, hmmm, they get BCS table scraps at best.

Washington is probably the second best team on Hawaii's schedule this year, and the only BCS conference team. They are the only other team to beat Boise State this year.

That's as quality a win as any other on their schedule.

CrossCyed · 11-24-2007, 02:01 PM

You mean Kansas' schedule that does have Missouri and likely Oklahoma on it? KU will earn it if they make it.

Agreed, KU is not deserving of any Top 5 ranking until they beat Missouri and Oklahoma/Texas in the Big 12 Title game.

Beside being in a BCS conference, nothing. Their win over Boise State will probably end up being the most impressive win of their season, assuming they lose their bowl game.
