I’ve been thinking about Boise since we dropped the Cuse game.
St John is who left, our 1st or 2nd best OL player.
Yes. Winning this sets up a MWC championship game on our turf and vaults us into AP rankings. It puts us in drivers seat for CFP. A loss probably eliminates us from that but also leaves 0 room for error to even make it back to Title game... the rest of the conference is so bad that the unbalanced schedule is beneficial to teams like CSU that don't play UNLV or Boise this year.
If UNLV can win, every next game will become the most important game in UNLV history, with the chance at the bowl series invite!
Definitely. This passes Arkansas, SMU etc because of what it means. Big stakes.
I believe it is. Regular season for sure. At least post 1985. I think at AFA regular season last year was a huge one because of conference title implications. I think at Arkansas in 2001 was huge at that time ….
At a minimum it would put UNLV in a position of being a hot ticket when it comes to broadcasting the games. The better UNLV does, the better the MWC does, and the better chance to move to a major conference!
Winning the Championship game and a close loss might be enough depending on Army/Navy and how they shake out in the rankings.
The bottom half of the MWC is so mediocre that any one of the teams left they have to play can step up and beat them. They arent exactly barnstorming their way through mediocrity... and now without Horton things are a lot tougher for them. In fact I think UNM might beat them this weekend
We beat BSU then CSU runs the table giving us a matchup vs CSU in the title game would replace Sydney Sweeney as my hall pass.
Can you imagine Boise St. fans being shut out of the title game in that way.We beat BSU then CSU runs the table giving us a matchup vs CSU in the title game would replace Sydney Sweeney as my hall pass.
That fanbase is awful. Would hate to see something like that happen to them.
If either Army or Navy beats Notre Dame and runs the table, you'd have to think that they would get the bid regardless of what others do. However, if Notre Dame beats both of them, it's possible that a 1-2 loss MW team could get the bid over the 1 loss Army/Navy teams.
If ND beats them both they still have to play each other once and probably twice. If ND beats them both and then they split in the Army/Navy games, they'd each have 2 losses. That's what we need to happen.
If ND beats either of them its over for their chances. Neither plays a strong enough schedule to compensate for the loss. Theyll be a nice story right up until that point and then immediately drop out of the rankings and contention for the CFP. Thats how it works especially when your schedule isnt very strong
My kid mentioned the same thing yesterday. There hardest games left are against Fresno State and unr.
Sydney Sweeney - Not Bad!We beat BSU then CSU runs the table giving us a matchup vs CSU in the title game would replace Sydney Sweeney as my hall pass.
Don't dodge UNM... they have no defense but their offense has been Rolling... CSU isn't any better than any of those 3 teams, especially without Horton
OMG that would be so damn funny. Especially since they would probably roll CSU by 50 if they played.
That was my point exactly. If ND beats both of them, regardless of how they do against each other, a 1-2 loss MWC team may get the nod over them
Have to remind myself that I’m not cheering for fresno or reno to win; but for csu to lose. I dislike csu; but I hate fsu and unr more.
