BCS Busters: The Final Stretch

It all started from my preseason rankings to the mid-season check up article to finally the final stretch. This year has been full of exciting play. It started off with four teams in the BCS hunt: Fresno State, Boise State, Utah, and BYU. Fresno State lost early and plentiful this season which put them out of the race. BYU lost ¾ of the way through to TCU. Now Utah and Boise State are left undefeated to decide who will be the BCS Buster.

Utah has played strong this season with a mediocre schedule. Utah slipped through two nose bitters. First against the Pac-10 leader Oregon State, and secondly to #14 ranked TCU last Thursday. Now all they have left in an easy win at San Diego State. Then the rivalry game at home versus a good BYU team who is looking to get a share of the Mountain West Conference Title.

Boise State has played great with a cake walk schedule. There hasn’t really been a close game to them this season besides playing a short handed Oregon team. Boise State has three games left on the season. First they play a horrible (possibly the worst team in the NCAA) Idaho on the road. Second they play an ok Nevada team. Then their season ender at home against the best team they will play all season Fresno State.

Both Utah and Boise State will win their remaining games this season. With both teams undefeated it will put Utah in a BCS Bowl Game, and most likely heading to the Sugar Bowl playing either Alabama or Florida. Then Boise State will send to the Poinsettia bowl probably playing BYU (if BYU doesn’t lose to Air Force). So my predictions are Utah Busting the BCS and winning a close game against Alabama in the Sugar Bowl!
