Cinderella? Maybe Not This Year

Will there be another Boise State this year? Or, a team from a non-BCS conference that qualifies for a BCS bowl? A team would need to go undefeated in order to do so, as they need to finish in the top 12 of the BCS rankings at the end of the season.

As of now, there are only six teams from non-BCS conferences still undefeated: UCF, Tulsa (Conference USA), Air Force, Wyoming (Mountain West), Hawaii (WAC), and Ohio (MAC).

UCF plays Texas tomorrow, and Tulsa plays Oklahoma next week, so those teams will have losses soon. Air Force and Wyoming play each other, and some other decent teams in the MWC, so it is doubtful that either of them will finish unbeaten. Ohio plays at Virginia Tech tomorrow, a game that is likely to end in a loss for them. Scratch Ohio. Which leaves Hawaii. If the Warriors can find a defense, they can still make the BCS. However, they have to find a way to keep the Louisiana Techs of the world from scoring 44 points on them in a game.

Hawaii is the best hope left for the little guys.

They are my only hope anymore. I hope that we get to catch at least one of their games this year on TV.

They play Boise and Washington later in the year, so those will be on TV for sure, especially if their QB is still in the running for the Heisman.
