00:03 - Boise State, in my estimation,

00:05 strangely is in the first four

00:07 because of the committee downplaying Mountain West teams

00:10 based on conference strength

00:12 and not non-conference strength of schedule

00:15 in which the Broncos had the 32nd best

00:17 in the country this year.

00:19 J.Y., I think the game is a toss-up.

00:21 It's a two and a half point spread in favor of Colorado.

00:25 How do you break it down?

00:27 - Well, if you look at like the metrics from Synergy,

00:30 like points per possession,

00:31 both offenses actually should have

00:33 a little bit of an advantage.

00:35 If you look at Colorado,

00:38 they're 44th in points per possession.

00:40 Boise State, defensively, 169th.

00:43 You flip it.

00:44 If you look at Boise State offensively, 82nd versus 169th.

00:48 So to me, I think you're gonna see points.

00:51 You're gonna see two teams that are evenly matched.

00:53 And listen, both teams are far better at home.

00:57 Now they're not at home here

00:58 because Boise State 15 to five at home this year,

01:02 Colorado 17 and three at home.

01:04 So to me, this is gonna be a really good matchup.

01:07 I think it's gonna be tight,

01:08 which means I think fouls are gonna be in the end.

01:11 I think the best way to look at it

01:12 is I like the game to go over.

01:14 Close game, Ben, I wouldn't be shocked

01:16 if we get overtime tonight.

01:18 I think this game's gonna be extremely, extremely tight

01:21 with fouls down the end,

01:22 which means stop clock, more points.
