The one in Gillette Stadium is the only one that matters................until next week. I like the Green Kool-Aid...........

Actually, all the games he mentioned would matter in the grand scheme of things.  People are going to talk about being top 25 whether the one-game-at-a-timers like it or not.  

I think Louisville will lose this season, but were I a betting man, I'd bet on them to beat Southern Miss. In all, there are 15 games pairing undefeated with undefeated, undefeated with one-loss, or one-loss with one-loss. If we win, these 15 losses WILL help us with the voters. I don't know if we'll crack the 25-line or not this week, but it'll be close.

Undefeated vs. Undefeated: Baylor vs. WVU, Iowa State vs. Texas Tech.

Undefeated vs. one-loss: Texas vs. Oklahoma State, Cincinnati vs. Virginia Tech, Northwestern vs. Indiana, Ohio State vs. Michigan State, Oregon State vs. Arizona, Alabama vs. Mississippi, Georgia vs. Tennessee

One-loss vs. one-loss: NC State vs. Miami, Duke vs. Wake Forest, Nebraska vs. Wisconsin, Northern Illinois vs. Central Michigan, Ball State vs. Kent State, Nevada vs. Texas State (transition team)

It's 3:43, and the one game that's most important is ... UMass 7, Bobcats 0!

It's 4:05, and the one game that's really important is ... UMass 10, Bobcats 3!

Wow -- it must have been all that BCS bowl talk that we've been doing on these boards that did it. If we squeak this one with a W we should NOT make that mistake in the future.

It's now the second half and we've given up 24 points to the worst team in D1.  BCS talk is an insult to actual BCS contenders.

I agree.

Agree completely. Were 5-0. Were going to win every game and the Orange bowl against cincinnati. If we dont do that because I posted on Bobcatattack, ill give my diploma back and buy a Ben Roethlisberger miami jersey. As my guy Herm Edwards says, you play to win the games. 5-0. Now im off to some OSU campus bars in my green and white to celebrate. 

OK, I get what you're saying.  I really do.  But it does not change the fact that I believe our team could be a BCS buster.  I'm not ignoring anything.  Rather than being a completely 100% realist fan, I choose to be 100% optimist.  The way you make it sound, we're all stupid for believing we can make the BCS because we don't understand our teams strengths and weaknesses.  I assure you, I do, and I'm cheering every week for our boys to correct those mistakes.  

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BCS TALK.  Yes, right now, it's silly to talk about it because we obviously played an awful game.  But in four weeks, when we're undefeated and suddenly the floor drops out from a few of the other undefeated and one-loss guys?  It may come up again.  And when it does, I'm going to be all over it.  

And I won't call you crazy for being a realist, just please don't assume that I don't understand the implications of the way these games pan out.

EDIT: OK, I reread that, and I promise I'm not trying to pick fights or anything.  I am just of the opinion that we shouldn't be trying to talk our village optimists down from the clouds because some don't want to think like that.
