As I've always said, even of Boise goes undefeated, they will still not make the NC if a team like OSU and Auburn end up with one loss. If OSU, Auburn, and Oregon all have one loss, it will be OSU vs. Auburn for the NC.
Not really fair, but that's what we get for not having a playoff.
OSU will choke again anyway, so they should have negative points to start out with.
