Right now, I'd take Houston, SMU and of course Boise State over Colorado any day on the field.
 
The same is true with Kansas.
 
University of Houston has a very decent football tradition. Bill Yeoman, the creator of the veer was one of the great coaches in college history. The Cougars over the years have produced some pretty good QBs including Andre Ware, David Klingler, Kevin Kolb and the guy who set all sorts of records this past year.
 
And Boise is of course one of the premier programs in the USA.
 
I think you're expressing your hopes regarding the BE - I don't think you're addressing the objective reality.
 
As I have said many times, I am very pleased that SU is headed to the ACC - for a number of reasons.
 
But where my thoughts and those of others on this board seem to differ is that I don't see that my feelings about SU moving to the ACC require me to trash the BE. Indeed, the two issues are mutually exclusive.
 
On this board it seems, if you root for SU you are almost obligated to, I guess, hate Rutgers, hate Paterno, hate Marinatto of the BE and hate all things that are now the BE Football Conference. And you must not only hate, you must refuse to consider or acknowledge anything positive about those schools or people or programs.
 
I really don't care for Rutgers or Schiano, but I recognize that the Scarlet Knights had a very good defense this year  - 0ne that in many respects mauled our offense.
 
That does not mean of course that I was not rooting as hard as I could for the Orange to destroy the boys from Pisccataway, N.J.     
 
I do not like Ru
