I agree, except everyone else on board must not have to deal with snow and sleet and rain, I don't know, maybe they have a magic elixir that guarantees great weather on game days.

Which is why I said there are a few exceptions. I would wager the vast majority of games are played snow free.
Our counter to that is the extreme heat at the first part of the season. I would imagine that is as hard or harder on the players than the snow.
Like I said, IMO, weather conditions are overplayed as far as performance goes.
Ever sat through (not to even bring up playing through) a game with 100 degree heat and humidity? We all have unique weather conditions at some point in the season.
You are correct that each have their own unique weather conditions. Much easier to get through the heat in the first part of the season as most teams are playing their cupcake schedule at that point.
Bottom line (and I hate to say this) is the Big 10 is still on a down year (past couple of years). This will hurt any of their teams chance to go to the NC game. We really need Michigan to be back to its traditional power house and have a few of the others just up their game a little bit. The big disappointment has been PSU this year. They sure had a chance to be good but maybe in a year or two they will also be back.

I didn't (don't) expect a whole lot from Penn State till the last half of the year, seeing they have a freshman QB.
Ohio State is the new #1 team, yet I don't hear Buckeye fans on here celebrating that fact.
They deserve to pat themselves on a back for now.

All of this hubbub about BSU being #1 in the BCS today is nonsense. Call me after they play their WAC schedule, and see where their computer # 's are then
Yeah, after all we saw how badly Alabama defeated TCU's conference mate Utah in the Sugar Bowl a few years ago...
Oh wait, Alabama was humiliated in that one.
Give it up Jimbo, it's not worth it. His team can't win the national championship on the field, so he has to try to win it in a forum. You'll never convince him of anything here, so don't waste your time. Even IF (a very big if) the Buckeyes go to the national championship game, he'll still be here telling you why Boise is better.

Boise is not my team. I've stated who my teams are previously. I just happen to be objective and actually see a lot of teams play. The only reason I even bothered to post is to point out some objective information which some of you choose to completely ignore because of YOUR BIAS. I can evaluate teams because I have actually seen the games. I watch about a dozen games every weekend from all over the country. I happen to enjoy the sport itself, not just my little corner of the world as so many of you seem to do.
On a different, but similar note. The reason bowls are in the south is the reason that many fair weather teams and teams that have a large live fan base go to bowls. A dream matchup for the BCS this year would be LSU vs (take your pick) Ohio State, Nebraska, OKie, Okie State TCU or any school from Texas. Noreasters would rather go to the Orange or Fiesta to get out of the weather. Other than the Rose with Some team from California or an Arizona or Nevada team in the Fiesta, the weather's too mild on the west coast and there is to much else to do to get to excited about a football game.
Nothing to celebrate yet. It's a long season. We've been here before. We've been one of the pre-eminent teams in College Football for years now. Now we got our work cut out for us. We need to stay focused and accomplish out goal.
Oh yes, I forgot. My east coast, midwest, southeast, southwest, west coast bias....all of the places I said where teams with one loss should get into the national championship game instead of an undefeated Boise State.

It appears to me you do not watch any of the games. BSU has beat NO ONE. How can you gauge who they played on that second tier group on their schedule. Again I say lets see how they would do with the schedule Alabama just played and still has come. BSU can take half of games off while McElroy, Ingram and Jones play four quarters.
The computer polls are ALMOST as bad as the voted ones. They are all like KFC, they have a "secret recipe" and guard their formulas like they are gold in Ft. Knox. The computer polls are notoriously bad at the start of the season, but they do get better when last year's results fall off and there is more interaction between teams. The out-of-conference schedules for most all major teams is a joke, but the NCAA and BcS want it that way, they reward it for being that way, as long as you can get a "non-losing" schedule together, you are eligible to be in a "bowl."
As far as the PAC-10 being the top conference, lets think about it. A team that is always in the cellar of the SEC (UK) played Louisville (@ Louisville) and beat them by as much as Oregon State (one of the PAC-10's better (?) teams) did at home. That would look like a perennial cellar dweller in one conference would be the top of another.
Is the SEC that much better than the PAC-10? Big-10 & PAC-10, who is better? Without a national championship based on playoffs, with the current scheduling, there is absolutely no way to know.And other perennial powerhouse teams such as La Tech, Utah State, Idaho, etc.
I almost choked on my Pepsi when I read that, though.
That depends on who would be confined to wheelchairs for the duration of the game.
Seriously, if Michigan can get a decent coach, how long will it take to recover? ND held onto their mistake longer than they should have and now it is going to take a long while, it appears, to have a respectable (Ala Coach Lou) team once again.
Sometimes, you have to wonder "exactly what were they thinking when these d-bags were hired?"
You forgot to answer how me stating teams from the Big Ten, SEC and Big 12 getting in over Boise State is 'east coast bias'.
It will be news to people from Alabama, Ohio and Oklahoma that they're now part of the east coast.
Sandra
Maybe he is geographically challenged? They are all east of somewhere, are they not?
Its called being a FAN ....
Your suppose to be a fan and back your team.
However, we STILL have not heard who YOUR team is.
Is your team THAT bad, laughable that it's not worth backing up ?
