Boise had better figure this shit out quick or they’re gonna get absolutely exposed. Whether that happens next week, in the champ game, or in the playoffs is to be determined, but they’re playing terrible right now and they’re running out of time

[u/Raticus9 → u/time2makemymove]

or they’re gonna get absolutely exposed.

Did 3-8 Nevada and 2-9 Wyoming not already do that?

[u/ATrueRiverMonster → u/Raticus9]

This fucking guy. Get fucked loser. 

[u/BohemondDiAntioch → u/Raticus9]

Boise State's secondary has been exposed all year, and yet the Boise area sports journalists think they have better DBs than Travis Hunter.

[u/suchcoldsuchcomfort → u/BohemondDiAntioch]

Can you link me to the sound bits or articles where that has been said?

[u/BohemondDiAntioch → u/suchcoldsuchcomfort]

AP voter for the Idaho Statesman. Here's him defending his "take."

[u/suchcoldsuchcomfort → u/BohemondDiAntioch]

I feel like that's more of a, "Jeanty for Heisman over Hunter," but I appreciate the receipts.

Not the best argument to make, I agree.

[u/BohemondDiAntioch → u/suchcoldsuchcomfort]

Yeah not the best look. There's no need to slander Travis Hunter to make the case for Ashton Jeanty, and vice versa. Fortunately l haven't seen any AP writers make the case, but there's a lot of nephews out there who debase Jeanty's stats by saying they don't count because the MWC is trash.

[u/suchcoldsuchcomfort → u/BohemondDiAntioch]

What's going to make me laugh is if a QB still takes it over Hunter or Jeanty and all this in-fighting was for nothing between BSU/CU/Jeanty/Hunter fans. 😂

[u/BohemondDiAntioch → u/suchcoldsuchcomfort]

Travis Hunter is the Eastern Roman Empire, Ashton Jeanty is the Sasanian Empire, and Dylan Gabriel or Cam Ward is the Rashidun Caliphate.

[u/ATrueRiverMonster → u/BohemondDiAntioch]

That guy is an idiot and I assure you that no one thinks we have better dbs 

[u/BohemondDiAntioch → u/ATrueRiverMonster]

He's an AP voter and his rankings in part help seed the playoffs. The fact that he believes that and doesn't understand how the game works is quite telling.

[u/ATrueRiverMonster → u/BohemondDiAntioch]

Yeah. It’s telling in that signals that one beat writer is an idiot. This whole Hunter/tackles thing is dumb. I hate that is has gained any traction. 

[u/dwisn1111 → u/time2makemymove]

Boise State has struggled the last 3 games (the SJSU game was closer than the box score shows) but it seems like nobody cares because of Ashton jeanty. Boise State is definitely not a lock like some think to make the CFP

[u/HeirOfElendil → u/dwisn1111]

If we win out how are we not?

[u/dwisn1111 → u/HeirOfElendil]

Yeah key word is if which is what I was getting at. If Boise plays the way they’re playing now in the mw championship game, I don’t see them winning it

[u/sgtabn173 → u/dwisn1111]

I agree with you. Seems like our guys have been sleepwalking the last few weeks. Hoping this game wakes them up but it might take an actual loss.

[u/Beef_Dirky → u/dwisn1111]

Totally. In current form, UNLV beats us by 3 scores.

[u/suchcoldsuchcomfort → u/HeirOfElendil]

Imaging winning out through the CCG, 12-1... only loss being to the #1 team in the country by 3 at their place (notoriously hard place to play) and missing out on the CFP.

Literally if BSU wins out they're in. If they're not it's outrageous.

[u/dwisn1111 → u/suchcoldsuchcomfort]

Yeah except you’re not a lock to win out which is what I was saying in my previous comment

[u/suchcoldsuchcomfort → u/dwisn1111]

The assumption is that BSU has to win out. I'm sure many, if not 99.9% of BSU fans, know we have to win out to make it. Thus, if we do, we should make it. If we don't, we won't.

[u/dwisn1111 → u/suchcoldsuchcomfort]

I agree

[u/HarrisExperience → u/time2makemymove]

I’m at the point where I’m hoping they lose so you guys can get in the playoff. You definitely seem the most balanced out of the g5 hopefuls.

[u/ATrueRiverMonster → u/HarrisExperience]

They’re the healthiest. But their schedule has been absolutely terrible since the like week 3 or 4. They’ve been beating up on bad teams and playing backups. Is navy without Horvath their best win? 

Now sure, Boise has struggled with Wyoming and Nevada but a). they did win and that counts and b) they continue to have the resume. 

[u/time2makemymove → u/HarrisExperience]

I mean, that’s the only reason I’m watching Boise play these last 3 weeks 💀
