The computers hate Boise State, they really hate Boise State. For the second week in a row Boise State received zero points in the computer category, four of the five computers did not rank them, and the one that did had them at No. 24. Once the best and worst score was dropped it gave Boise State zero points.
So despite being ranked 15th in the USA Today Coaches Poll and 17th in the Harris Poll, the Broncos come in at No. 20 in the Week 14 BCS standings. There is no way that they can make a BCS bowl game, because the only teams that are ranked ahead of Boise State and who are playing are Nebraska, UCLA, Kent State and Oregon State.
Oregon State is not going to lose to Nichols State, and even if UCLA, Kent State and Nebraska lose, there is Northern Illinois who will hop Boise State after they defeat Kent State. The Broncos BCS hopes are 90 percent dead, and that is being generous.
Had Boise State even had just had a computer score of .100, they would be in prime position to earn the No. 16 spot.
Here are the complete BCS rankings:
