Who knows what the SOS will look like at the end of the season, but Boise has 4 opponents receiving votes from the AP in the pre-season poll (Troy, OK State, Fresno, & SDSU), so the gap in SOS might not be that gigantic, and they have a head start. Hope you're right, but if we both run the table, I don't think it's a guarantee that we pass them in the rankings. I guess we should probably worry about Elon first though.... I get what you're saying, especially the last sentence. I wasn't focusing on preseason rankings as they rarely tell the story, last year being the perfect example. When it comes to bowl season, it is more likely that teams like Houston, Memphis, Temple (and the Fl schools) will be getting more AP/Coaches votes than Fresno and SDSU. OK State might be good, or they might be OK State. If Boise runs the table they should be in the conversation for sure, but the parity in their league just isn't there. Fresno, SDSU, etc get their fair share of press due to the comparative markets they serve, but don't contribute to any real depth in the conference year to year imo. I like Troy, but that is like saying Tulane should be a nod on your SOS because they could be the 'sneaky' team in FBS this season. It's meaningless until later, like you said. 48 minutes ago, Triple B said: Based on our win over the defending national champs .... Boise can't touch that. You're being facetious but a win over UCF this year, especially if they're undefeated at the time, would be bigger than anything Boise can claim.

Yeah, you got me being facetious... Boise could have several games that could touch our win over UCF. A BSU win over Oklahoma State could conceivably be bigger than us beating UCF. Heck, a BSU win over Fresno State or San Diego State could conceivably be bigger depending how all the schedules played out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not. The potential is there for BSU to have multiple "bigger" wins than a win over the Kanigits could be for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about a third undefeated team (FAU)? They are ahead of us in the preseason poll, and have Oklahoma(#7) & UCF(#21) on the road. Highly unlikely they beat Oklahoma, but that could be a tricky game, especially being in week 1. FAU looked awfully good in their last 6 or 7 games last year, and finished just outside the Top 25. If they get by Oklahoma somehow, which I doubt, but if it happens, they could be a team to watch. Edited August 25, 2018 by USFBulls727 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
