Labor Day football and with Boise State being a future member of the Mountain West why not toss up an open thread and chat about the best game of the weekend!
For more on the games check out SB Nation's Boise Stat site OBNUG with their preview of the game. For equal time here is Gobbler Country's preview of the game. Game kicks at 8pm eastern and is on ESPN.
And since this is Monday NIght Football time to gather all of your rowdy friends for some Hank Williams, Jr. it was surprisingly hard to find this video but here is one, you have to wait 15 seconds in.
My prediction is Boise State 24 Virginia Tech 17

What do people want here?
1) Boise to win because they are both future MWC members. If Both TCU and Boise finish undefeated it will help the MWC BCS bid.
2) Boise to lose because they are a threat to the MWC BCS bid in 2010. Boise could leave the MWC champion out in the cold.
I am assuming everyone is rooting for Boise to win.
Boise to win.
If both TCU and Boise finish undefeated, they’re both getting BCS bids again. But given their high preseason starts, there’s a great chance of at least one of them being in the NC game (if not both).
Boise to win.......
Boise to run the table and win a NC………….

boise to win
To get both in the NC game it really comes down to having Oregon not winning pac-10, Ohio state losing a game, and no SEC champion undefeated.

One Blogger for all the non AQs is tough imo
But the MWC is on the door step of a BCS if things go right and Big East implodes like last week
The Big East is not good..........

Nevada
isnt terrible they are a pretty good team, Wyoming won a bowl. The ACC isnt too much to brag about, and no one disputes the WAC is not a great league.

Pretty much saying that an undefeated Boise team getting a shot at a NC is a joke because they havent played enough people......
blaming them for not scheduling harder teams……..like others have to do.

Their D is tired, and Taylor can keep a broken play going. They may not get the ball back.

if they can force a 3 and out they will have great field position

I would agree seeing as how Alabama and OSU played against FCS schools.
Oh wait San Jose St. and Marshall are technically FBS.
Well now I'm really conflicted about BSU.
They play in Laramie next week against my Cowboys and I would never root against them, but at the same time if BSU runs the table, they may play in the NC game. Probably gonna have to be one of those lose the battle, win the war kind of situations.
go with your team
Always go with your team. When Utah played at TCU I was going for Utah hard, even though I knew they would not win.
