Tick, tock, tick, tock......

OK, so all bets are off. Last week I was not very optimistic regarding the possibility of Boise State getting into another BCS bowl game. Now, it seems far more possible. Yesterday's losses in the top 20, coupled with the Broncos 52-0 beat-down of lowly Utah State (first road shut-out for BSU in 31 years), the BCS landscape has once again shifted.

We are at #15 in both the coaches and Harris polls - not sure why. I'm truly surprised at the bump we got for beating a team with no wins. I guess it must be the total domination in all facets of the game? Or the respect we gained last year? Even Craig James has us in his top 20. And Hawaii is conspicuously missing from his vote.

Speaking of Hawaii, during the first half of their game with Fresno, I have to admit I was a bit concerned. The Warriors were scoring at will, and Fresno was unable to get any pressure on Colt Brennan. In the second half the story changed, though. Fresno was able to really slow down the Warriors. If Fresno's offense was not so banged up, and if they had not stalled on a couple of drives because of bone-head decisions, they may have very well won that game.

I see some very obvious chinks in Hawaii's armor. Can't wait.
