College Football 2010: So it begins

[Boris Godunov]

Incomplete; couldn't tell if that was a bad throw, or if the LB tipped it. 4th and 11.


Desperation--incomplete down the sideline. There was contact, but no flag. Good no-call, I think, but could've gone either way.



Final score:

Boise State 33
Virginia Tech 30



Wow. I didn't think they'd be able to pull it off.

Considering the remainder of the Bronco's season is pretty much fluff (Oregon State may be #25 now, but who cares, the Broncos will roll over them at home), they're going to go undefeated again. So the debate will be: does beating VA Tech in a squeaker suffice to qualify them for the national championship?

[gjramsey]

Incidentally, not real pleased with the Broncos' new uniforms.

I think that was a one time Nike Combat uni, same as Va Tech. both frigging ugly.

[SlowwHand]

Same as TCU. A one-time commitment.

[Boris Godunov]

I liked the VA Tech uniforms. The Broncos' were just boring.

[Imran Siddiqui]

VA Tech's was pretty good. Better than what they usually wear.

[Boris Godunov]

And one team that is just absolutely laughably awful.

Dude, it's OK, you can refer to the Cougars by name. Nobody from Washington State would disagree...

[SlowwHand]

The latest.

Broncos already starting to get first-place votes.

If no one else goes undefeated, then they should absolutely play for the title.

[reismark]

Only team I'd rank ahead of Boise at this point is Alabama. Ohio State's repeatedly failed come crunch time and they'd need to show a lot for me to think they deserve another chance over a Boise team that's never gotten one and whose history shows they deserve one.

5-3 in BCS bowl games, 1-3 in NCGs hardly constitutes repeated failure. And we've only missed at BCS bowl once since 2002

Oklahoma, Florida State, those are your consistent BCS failures.

[Guynemer]

This die-hard Michigan fan who hates everything Scarlet and Gray agrees with him totally.

[-Jrabbit]

So, week one ends and we're already arguing over the national championship game?

Man, it's going to be a looooong season...

[H Tower]

well Rabbit, find an Indiana football fan and you and I can argue about who the toilet bowl winner in the big10 this year will be.

[Guynemer]

I think he'll be looking a long, long, long time.
