Darn Bandwagons Anyway
Are there any personal injury lawyers out there that handle bandwagon crashes? Rutgers beating Louisville tossed me pretty hard there.
I know there are a lot of people who like to see the Rutgers and Boise States run the tables because they can point to the flaws of the BCS system. Personally I wanted to see Louisville do it just to prove what I've believed all along, that a lesser know school CAN make it to the BCS championship game if they do what they have to.
No, that doesn't mean I'm jumping on the Rutgers bandwagon. Is that inconsistent? I don't believe so. In my opinion, Louisville went out and did what they had to do in scheduling what at least looked like a pretty strong out of conference schedule with Miami, Kansas State and Kentucky. Neither has turned out to be a powerhouse this year but when the schedule was made it definitely looked a lot better.
Rutgers' win gives it some legitimacy, but I think the story is very different in their schedule. North Carolina, Illinois, Howard, Ohio and Navy just isn't the kind of out of conference schedule that a team has to do to overcome the weakness of their conference.
For that reason you definitely won't see me on the Boise State wagon. They have an even weaker conference, and an even weaker out of conference schedule, with Sacramento State, Oregon State, Utah, Wyoming and Louisiana Tech.
It will be interesting to see how things shake out now, but it looks now like we're going to see a one loss team in the BCS game. And, I believe, the odds just went up dramatically that there could be an Ohio State Michigan rematch... wouldn't that raise some eyebrows?

just to let you know boise state and louisiana tech are in the same conference.
thanks for clearing that up, i missed that.
louisiana tech in the western athletic conference... just doesn't sound right, does it? sounds like the old NFL conferences before they realigned after expansion.
funny thing is they and louisiana-lafeyette in the mid 90s were in the big west
