Should not have gotten a bye ... nor home field advantage if they had to play in the first round. Just not that good.
Boise State
- Thread starter BassLake
- Start date
Should have been playing us at Indiana in the first round based on rankings. We would have beaten them.
And perhaps changed how we performed in the playoffs. Maybe things look different if we aren't playing a true road game in the playoffs.
Seeding and first round buys should be different next year. Let's hope they take a look how the seedings is placed in NCAA Basketball. You can still give conference champs an auto bid while giving the 4 best teams the buy.
Maybe I missed it, but I never heard a damn thing on ESPN about Boise’s SOS, which was worse than IU’s.
Make it 16 teams and get rid of the conference title games.
If they leave it at 12 teams, at least make all games a neutral field with 50/50 ticket splits.
Mountain West TV deal is up in in 2026 and several of those teams are going to the Pac12, including Boise State. Pac 12 recently paused it's negotiating for a new TV deal, so ESPN is treading lightly. They don't want to lose a shot at that one by saying stupid shit.
I noticed that too.... from the pre-game until the end I was listening just to hear them mention BSU's weaker SOS ... They swept that topic under the rug like a bunch of cowards.
Plus, they built up Jeanty as if he was the greatest running back to ever play... and near the end the color man, Riddick, actually called Jeanty, "... one of the greatest backs to ever play..." Seriously!
I thought he looked good at best and far, far, from "great".
