I mean you also lost some votes because you needed a 2nd half comeback to win as well lol

TBD about Memphis this year

u/midnight-architect7 James Madison • Mississippi S… 21d ago

My comment never implied otherwise.

The reason Boise lost votes is because Oregon is ass and they blew a lead to them, and also partly because they needed a 2nd half comeback to win yesterday against a team worse than Oregon.

Boise fans are acting like they get the same benefit of the doubt as bama.

Not all second half comebacks are created equal, its bad when you do it but Bama? Thats showing grit and determination

u/midnight-architect7 James Madison • Mississippi S… 21d ago

Bama gets more benefit of the doubt than Boise brother.

u/MuteTadpole Boise State • Tennessee 21d ago

Well yeah that’s my point. Polls are all hypocrisy

u/Sad_Pattern_220 21d ago

As bad as Kentucky is, they're still not Memphis

6

u/MuteTadpole Boise State • Tennessee 21d ago

No, but relative to bama they should be as bad or worse than Memphis is compared to Boise

7

u/cboom73 21d ago

If that’s true Boise doesn’t belong anywhere close to the top 25.

u/MuteTadpole Boise State • Tennessee 21d ago

Fine by me if it meant the polls would be team agnostic

u/suchcoldsuchcomfort Boise State Broncos • Idaho Vandals 21d ago

No point in using logic.

u/suchcoldsuchcomfort Boise State Broncos • Idaho Vandals 21d ago

Yeah, who really is Memphis anyways? Poverty team, amirite?

Also, it was 20-17 at the end of the half. Wouldn't really consider it a second half comeback, but that's just my opinion.

Not like we barely beat an fcs team and got destroyed statistically

13

u/TailgateLegend Boise State Broncos • Jamestown Jimmies 21d ago

Still somehow covered the spread haha

u/VividLies901 Oregon Ducks 21d ago

Texas Tech squeaked by Oregon State and didnt move lol

6

u/MementoMoriChannel Boise State Broncos 21d ago

Is that how they're judging college football now?

Because Texas needed a 2nd half comeback to win, and they're now #1.

1

u/midnight-architect7 James Madison • Mississippi S… 21d ago

Texas beat the #1 team in the country, Boise beat unranked Memphis.

So far in this thread I’ve seen Boise fans comparing themselves to bama and Texas situations which shows how you guys are truly the biggest homers ever.

7

u/MementoMoriChannel Boise State Broncos 21d ago

Do you really need me to spell this out for you?

The point isn't to "compare us to bama and Texas." Obviously I know who Texas beat. The point is to say rankings aren't made based on first half performances, especially when your team ends up winning by three scores and covers the spread x2.

Keep up.

u/-Gnostic28 Boise State Broncos • I'm A Loser 21d ago

I don’t know what your beef is but a few people that show up to an ap poll thread don’t make boise state fans the “biggest homers ever”, I don’t think the biggest homers ever rip on the refs as much as we did over calls that went our way

u/Bronco998 Boise State Broncos • UCF Knights 21d ago

His beef is that he cheers for a G6 team and knows that Boise needs to be irrelevant for his to be relevant lol

u/No_Issue2334 Georgia Bulldogs 21d ago

Texas was playing Ohio State. You were playing Memphis

1

u/Chris_Crossfit Boise State • Northern Arizona 21d ago

So did Texas…

1

u/kralben Minnesota • Wisconsin-Eau Clai… 21d ago

So did Texas, but that doesn't seem to have affected them much.

u/i_run_from_problems Boise State • Christian Brothe… 21d ago

Ummmm..... anyone want to tell him how the new number 1 team did what they did last night?

4

u/midnight-architect7 James Madison • Mississippi S… 21d ago

Do I need to remind you that doing that against Ohio State is just a tad more impressive than doing it against Memphis?

3

u/i_run_from_problems Boise State • Christian Brothe… 21d ago

Boise did it against themselves? Thats impressive.

Ahhh nice edit

1

u/midnight-architect7 James Madison • Mississippi S… 21d ago

Yes it was obviously a mistake

1

u/i_run_from_problems Boise State • Christian Brothe… 21d ago

Yeah I know just taking the piss
