I've watched them a couple times, although I passed out before the end last night (
the trip to and from Philly for the Flames game took a lot out of me) adn you're right, they are a really good team and maybe one of the top teams in the country. The problem is the only time they beat other top teams is situations that are primed for them to do so, long layoffs that give the less talented but smarter and more creative teams a big edge. And when it comes to intelligence and creativity they've got to be tops in the country. Here they had a chance to beat a good team, not a great team but good, on the road in the course of a regular season week and they couldn't pull it off. It solidifies the argument that BSU wouldn't be able to run the table when facing tests from teams of this calibre throughout the season, which is the case in any of the PAC10, SEC, Big XII (usually) or Big Ten and occasionally true in the ACC.
