I still see Stanford as a 7-5 type team. I think the Pac 12 is pretty much hot garbage this year, with the possible exception of Washington. I can't believe how high USC is in the rankings. I don't think they could beat any other top 10 team. Stanford is still a pretty good team. Maybe eventually @ #22 to #25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pac 12 will got a lot of bowl teams, but the top teams in that conference don't look competitive on a national level to me. USC is their highest ranked team and they had to go to overtime to beat Texas at home. I don't think they will, but if the Trojans win the Pac 12, this will make the conference look pretty soft because Texas may not even be a bowl team. That's a terrible metric. Oklahoma barely beat Baylor. That must mean the B12 is shit amirite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masterfrog Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I am hoping San Diego State goes to the BCS. I am anxious to see how their fans would travel. A great traveling crowd would help build the MWC reputation nationally, particularly if they go East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebasour Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I don't think the Aztecs are going to the playoff, largely because I think they'll +++++ up once and the league isn't helping, however Go5 teams have cracked the top 4 in the old BCS rankings. If a Go5 school can pick up a marquee win or two, and get help with other big schools stumbling it might happen one day. TCU cracked the top 4 in both of their BCS Bowl trips, and Boise made it to number 3 when they +++++ed up in Reno a few years back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCU cracked the top 4 in both of their BCS Bowl trips, and Boise made it to number 3 when they +++++ed up in Reno a few years back I'm sure we will see a G5 playoff team at some point. I remember when the Frogs went to BCS games back to back years, I thought they were pretty deserving. But now, I look at the talent on the current TCU roster and I realize that those teams were great, but they weren't as talented as the current team, which may or may not eventually reach the top 5 and a top bowl game.

AztecBill Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 SDSU fans will travel incredibly well to the Fiesta Bowl. SDSU has had 5 upper half NCAA berths in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AztecBill Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 South Florida plays in a better conference but they play a subset of those teams. The ones they miss are some of the best teams in their conference. So the difference isn't so large. OOC should swing it the Aztecs way. SDSU has had 5 upper half NCAA berths in a row.

They didn't get any..I think I'll take your "prognostications" and conference analysis with a grain of salt.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Sexington Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I don't think that they'll make the playoffs, but they could get a Fiesta Bowl, or equivalent. If they stay focused and run the table, who knows? I'd love to see the Aztecs on New Years Day. "If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, are you still a moron?"

AztecBill Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 The playoffs is only possible if 2 P5 conferences have big upsets in their championship games and the winner are unworthy enough. We should root for huge disparity between divisions in the P5. SDSU has had 5 upper half NCAA berths in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only potential loss I see is to BSU, and that's highly unlikely in SD. AFA was the only questionable road game an that's over. You'll be favored in the rest of your games.. SDSU would really have to beat themselves to screw this up.. Politics would keep you out of the playoffs but still could be a special season..

But really until November 1st you can't really tell and that is when the first football rankings are released. We will be able to tell a lot by then by where everyone is ranked. It may be better, but it is not perceived as better to the point where it matters. just read what people actually write on the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CCG will more than likely be held in San Diego giving them a nice advantage in that as well. Not a playoff team by any means. I actually don't think they're quite at that level from what I've seen and no way in hell the P5 folks let them in anyway. Could definitely be an exciting rep for the MWC in the NY6 though. Deep down, while I am supporting their run, I want to meet them in the CCG and ruin their dreams. A whole lot between now and that opportunity that may not even happen. Just where I'm at.
