and Tulane and USF. This could be the easiest schedule since 2003. Which is saying something because last year's was pretty easy too.

They are both not good. Both would be favored today. There is this thing called home field advantage...

A rebroadcast from 2009?

If you could short a college football team like a stock... Boise State is Blackberry.

They've been ESPN darlings for years. Tessitore and Egghead Gilmore were in tears when Nevada beat them a few years ago and I think that stooge Herbstreit has a Kellen Moore statue in his house. His call of their Vegas Bowl game against ASU Moore's senior year was beyond embarrassing even for him.

Here are 2 teams ranking of opponents in 2013 by Massey after end of season:

Team A

14, 41, 53, 55, 61, 63, 73, 83, 113, 127, 154, 257 Average ranking opponents 91, average excluding low and high 82, median 68, top 25 = 1, top 50 = 2.

Team B

23, 24, 43, 65, 68, 73, 92, 94, 104, 123, 138, 149 Average ranking opponents 83, average excluding low and high 82, median 82, top 25 = 2, top 50 = 3.

Team B generally has better opponent ranking except for median.

Team A is national champion FSU before conference and BCS game, Team B is UConn.

My point is - ESPN has them at 10-3 and possibly better if things break right. We shouldn't take them lightly - although I do think this would be a time where they could be picked off.
