HDuck No. 3 Share Posted December 7 BSU is 11-1, ASU is 10-2. ASU lost a game at Cincinnati when QB Leavitt was not able to play. ASU 48-7 vs Wyoming early before ASU "jelled" BSU 17-13 at Wyoming near end of season. If the Committee awards SEC teams for strength of schedule then they should also award ASU. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, what's good for the SEC should be good everywhere. I don't see the argument for BSU. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Marsh No. 8 Share Posted December 8 ASU v BSU would be a great game but it is unlikely to happen. But based on the conference championship game performances I think ASU put on a clinic where BSU was dominant but didn't provide the eye candy.

Boise State does not have the kind of defense to handle the playoff field. And I believe Arizona State’s defense is underrated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASU looks VERY vulnerable on defense, IMHO, when they come up against an elite offense. 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike West No. 13 Share Posted December 8 I thought the 4Q was indicative of what BSU will face no matter who they play. And no, I was stressed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cartm25 No. 14 Share Posted December 8 No idea who should be ranked higher, but sure would be fun to see them square off. The BCS bowl game format would have given us that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave23 No. 15 Share Posted December 8 I'm going with BSU I just think ASU might have a really hard time containing the run game for obvious reasons. Dilly's offense could definitely pose problems to BSU's D but ultimately I think BSU gets the win on the back of their O. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
