00:00They got Tulane now at plus 410 for the yes, minus 590 for the no.

00:08They have UNLV at plus 590 for the yes, minus 1,000 for the no.

00:14People have been saying Tulane could be the team, if Boise tripped up, that maybe it's

00:18Tulane that would be the team, provided they finish off, and they play Memphis actually

00:23Thanksgiving night, finish off the regular season, and then they're playing Army in the

00:28American title game the week after that.

00:30If they won those two games and Boise tripped, maybe it's Tulane, who of course we saw in

00:36a New Year's 6 beat USC a couple years ago, so they have a little bit of recent cachet

00:41with those people in that room, that that might be the team, if Boise were to stumble,

00:46which I think they've been on the brink of the last few weeks.

00:49Yeah, so if what is Tulane beating Memphis this week, and then Army in the American athletic

00:57title game, boy, that would be pretty impressive, maybe even more impressive than anything UNLV's

01:04resume is going to put together, and Boise State, if we're, I mean, let's be realistic

01:10here.

01:11Tulane, that would be a pretty heck of a way to finish there, go ahead and sweep the board

01:16and win the AAC, and all of a sudden Tulane is in.

01:20I don't, you know, there's another team that you can't count out, and like you had mentioned,

01:27man, it feels like Boise State is just, they are close to shooting themselves in the foot

01:33here at one, because to me it's theirs to lose, but how much faith do we have in them

01:39to finish this thing off?

01:41Everybody wants them in, I just don't know if it happens.

01:45Right, and they play, they actually don't have a conference game this week, they're

01:48playing Oregon State on the Blue Turf, so they have to finish out the regular season,

01:55which is, by the way, one of those wacky 9 a.m. local in Boise kicks on Saturday just

02:01to get the game on Big Fox at noon east, so they're going to play Oregon State at basically

02:089 a.m. local, and they're going to wait to see who they play, and I believe that if UNLV

02:16wins on Saturday night, that they have the tiebreaker over Colorado State.

02:20I have to check, I'll check that with Bill, because I know Bill will know when he comes back.

02:24But I'm pretty sure because Colorado State lost to Fresno on Saturday night, that they're

02:29the team that would be on the outside looking in for the title game, but it's going to be,

02:36it's going to be wild, Joe, and I don't know how they figure it all out tomorrow night,

02:42but the only teams you could say are playing, they're close and strong, even Penn State

02:48was on the brink against Minnesota on Saturday, and I know the Irish played Army, but the

02:54Irish have been, since the Northern Illinois game, they've left no doubt coming down the

02:59stretch at least.

03:00At least that's one team that's leaving no doubt coming down the stretch.

03:04Yeah, well, again, Tulane would have to beat Memphis and Army, a team that just spent how

03:10many weeks in the top 25, and if they sweep that board, then you got your choice between

03:16Boise State and Tulane, and I'm sorry, Tulane's resume would be more impressive.
