the better. We already played Houston so not many are thinking about them anymore...it doesn't make a difference in SOS but perhaps in perception for the game to come...
Boise St because we play them on a Fri night in front of a captive audience the more wins they have the more buzz there will be. We'll play Nevada on a busy Saturday and in my opinion Nevada will likely win their division and play in the title game regardless of the BSU outcome. Perhaps they both lose to BYU and both end up in the title game....
