From the 6/17 "Ask CFN"

Post by Warthog »

With tough road games at Boise State and Wisconsin to start the season, could Bowling Green be the next Utah if they run the table? – JT

A: No, only because I don’t think Wisconsin will be that great and the luster might be off Boise State after the Georgia game meaning those wins, if they are wins, will carry all that much weight. Don’t dismiss the MAC slate and assume the Falcons are going to walk through it. Miami is very good, and Omar Jacobs and the boys have to go to Oxford. Toledo isn’t bad either.

There was really no answer there.

"...if they run the table" means that they win the rest of their games, regardless of who they're playing. CFN blows.

Dumb answer. If we assume that Boise St. loses a close one at Georgia, I'm not sure how the "luster might be off." Plus, BG plays at Boise. Compare BG's schedule this year to Utah's from last year. If Utah got into a BCS game with that schedule, I don't see how BG couldn't.

I don't agree either.

Wisconsin will perceived as the usual Wisconsin until the Badgers prove otherwise.

If Wisconsin ends up a .500 team this year, it may take a few weeks for that to become evident. No one would penalize the Falcons at that point. We'd already have surged in the polls.
