Football anyone?

(Warning not for those who dislike football) I am sure Sarah will get back to the other stuff after she sees this post. If you are a non-bcs college football fan, then yesterday was a wonderful day. I am mainly writing this for Josh and his negative opinion about BYU football. Lets talk about what happened yesterday. BYU finally put together the game I have been waiting for. I could feel it for the last couple years, it just wasn't happening yet. Was that UCLA team the same team who beat Tennessee? Well I don't need to say more about it, the final score says enough. Also, the MWC beat the PAC-10 in every match-up. Even the lowly UNLV rebels beat #15 ranked Arizona State. Good stuff. Now lets talk about the mighty SEC. For awhile I did believe they were the best conference in the country but even now I am having second thoughts. Miss. State vs. Auburn, final score 3-2. Boring!! Auburn is ranked #9. Lets not forget that Miss. State is bad, and lost to Lous. Tech a few weeks ago. Also Kentucky barely squeaked by Middle Tenn. State. Who? They should paste a team like that. They were a few inches from losing. Georgia who I do think is strong defensively, barely survived against an unimpressive South Carolina team. The SEC has teams with good defense, but not much offense. I think against a team like USC, the SEC would falter bad. But they rarely play any tough out-of-conference games. Georgia is playing Arizona State next week, I can't wait to see what happens in that one. I really believe that BYU's offense could put up major points against anyone in the country right now. Max Hall is one of the top 5 QB's in the nation. If something will cost them it will be their defense, against a team with good speed. But for now things are looking good for them to crash the BCS malarky. I can't wait for the next few weeks to unfold. And hope they get a shot at some overrated team.

My top ten right now
1.USC
2.Oklahoma
3.Missouri
4.LSU
5.Florida
6.Georgia
7.Texas
8.Texas Tech
9.BYU
10.Bama (I guess) Wish they would come play in Provo, but they backed out a few years ago.

Sad, but true Juji.

Poor Ryan, I tried to explain to him that it isn't that people don't like BYU, it's that they don't care. No one cares, BYU is not even on the radar, except if you're from Utah county.

BYU will never be cool enough to care about, even if they are good (which they are not. They are okay). There I said it.

Roll Tide!!

Hey I love BYU and always will. They played a great yet very boring game on saturday and I couldn't be more proud of my boys.

According to many in the national media, BYU is becoming someone people care about. Can't wait to see the tide roll to another 4-5 loss season.

This discussion really has nothing to do with Alabama. I could say, "can't wait to see BYU have another 10-2 season and STILL nobody care that they won the Las Vegas bowl"....see, makes no difference.

Josh, you crack me up! So, So, True!!! It's hard to tell someone that you just don't care, or that they just don't matter. Sadly, such is the case for BYU!

Ryan,

I agree with you. I'm not sure there is a team in the country that has an offensive arsenal as diverse as BYU. Max, Austin, Dennis, Andrew, Mike, Harvey, Fui. These are the starters and there are more. The further they get in the season, the better they will be. I agree with the #9 ranking.
