Wedding and a Concert

It had been three months since I got to go to Idaho to visit the wonderful family whom I grew up with. I was fortunate to have all of these events happen on the same weekend.

I didn't arrive in Idaho until 11:30 on Friday night. Friday was a very long day. Waking up for my second day at school at 7:00 and then going to work from 12:00 - 8:30 made a very long day. Fortunately my work day went by pretty fast. I was going to be able to leave early because I had accrued about 45 minutes of overtime over the week. When my shift was scheduled to end at 7:45 one of the supervisors asked if I would like to take some of the agents off the phone and play volleyball with them. Thinking this as an opportunity to meet some people, especially of the female gender, I accepted. I grabbed four females and three males to at least make the competition fair. After volleyball it was off to Idaho in Lester's natural gas truck, because I was picking up a chair from my dad at the end of the weekend. Although it was cheaper it was a hassle, because I had no cruise control, and in order for me to listen to my music I had to use my laptop.
Saturday was my cousin, Caitlyn's, wedding day. It's ironic, because Caitlyn and I had taken a trip to Utah only six months ago, and on the way to Utah all she would tell me is how she doesn't know if she'll ever get married. She told me she will never find a guy that she feels she will be able to put up with for eternity, and vice versa. Well evidently she was able to find one. The wedding was great, and as I was sitting there inside the temple I just had a strong witness bear testimony to me that this is the place to get married. This should be our ultimate goal for our future family. I don't know about you, but to me this life is way too short, and I can't stand the thought of me being without my future wife after death. I also decided that on my wedding date I'm going to wear a white suit jacket. Both Caitlyn's and Britanni's husbands wore a white suit jacket and it looks very sharp :)

As all of you know Sunday was Mother's Day. My mother and step-father had the opportunity to speak in sacrament meeting. Well my mom did. They only gave them enough time for my mom to give her talk and Bryan to share his testimony. Lucky for Bryan, he gets to give his talk next week. I just want to share with you how much I love my mom. It was exactly a year ago when i was up there giving my missionary farewell. No one expected me to be in this position a year from now, but my mom has always been supportive of me, and has just thought of me and what makes me happy. She has helped me so much this year and I greatly appreciate it. She's the most strong-willed and strong in the testimony person I know. Her talk was on charity, and to me she is a great example of charity.

Now that I got you all teary-eyed it is time to let you know how I got my soul rocked last night. I had never been to a concert before, and after going to this one, I can't wait to go to the next one. Zach and I had been planning this concert for almost two and a half months and we were finally able to go. When we got there we bought the official Breaking Benjamin tour shirts for $35. Pretty spendy but well worth it. As members of the church Zach and I were exposed to lots of things of this world that you wouldn't find anywhere else. The biggest example was all the beer. Everybody around us was drinking beer. It smelled nasty and people were doing some weird stuff. That was about the only negative of the show.

The first group up was a band called Sick Puppies. Sick Puppies is a three member band from Sydney Australia who is an "in your face" screamy band. I liked it. They sang some awesome songs and it was cool to see a female bassist. She was getting into it and she was pretty good. Many of you haven't heard any of their songs. They sang these songs, "You're Going Down", All the Same", "Odd One", and "Street Fighter" WARNING: These songs have explicit lyrics. Beware
Second was Shinedown. Shinedown is a rock band that sings some good hardcore songs as well as some great ballads that many girls would like. I would recommend listening to some of their songs. They opened up with "The Sound of Madness" and sang many other popular songs like "If you only knew" "Second Chance" "Devour" "I Dare You" and "The Crow & The Butterfly" The lead singer was the perfect impression of Jack Black in School of Rock if any of you have seen it. He had the best rocker voice of them all in my opinion.

The next group was Breaking Benjamin; Zach and mine's favorite of the four. Breaking Benjamin is a rock group that has a unique style. Besides the main group, they are probably the most known. They opened with "I will not Bow" off their new album. They also sang songs widely known like "The Diary of Jane", "Breath", "Until the End." They sang their new hit single which is one of my favorites, "Give me a Sign" and also their hit song off the Halo 2 video game, "Blow me Away"

Then it was time for the grand finale! NICKELBACK! They opened with a bang, and never quit. There was flames and a lot of stuff that you would see at a rock concert. It was amazing. Of course they played their songs and did very well at them, but they also took the time to mess around and do some other stuff to. One of my favorite memories was when they were sitting on stools. They had just got done playing Far Away and convinced the audience that girls think its great to make-out in the middle of a rock ballad. They started doing random things and then they said. We're going to sing a song of you. Chad Kroeger said, "I guarantee 100% of the women here no every word to this song, and about 3/4 of the dudes do," and then he started to sing "Don't stop Believing," by Journey. He would stop periodically to let the crowd sing along. He only sang one verse and stopped. Afterward he said, "You guys sing louder to freaking Journey than you do to our crap. That's messed up!" They were really funny.

I came to love each band a little more that night. Concerts are just amazing. If you haven't been to one I would definitely recommend it, but I must warn you. They are musicians and they get to say or sing whatever they want. All of them were crude at some points during their shows, except for Shinedown, but it was still an amazing experience, and can't wait to go to another one.

Testimonies

I've decided I'm going to try and write weekly blogs with the thing that I had on my mind that week.

Yesterday Shayne and I went to Katie and Skyler's new ward. Skyler got called to serve as a member of the bishopric in one of the UVU student wards. One of my biggest pet peeves of the church is that most members don't know how to bear testimonies anymore. After sacrament meeting I felt that all I heard was a bunch of stories of trials that either tried to one up the previous story, or just try and get you to feel sorry for them. I also heard some "testimonies" that made me feel like they just wanted me to see how well they were living their life. I was getting so annoyed that I was half tempted to just go up and bear my testimony on what testimonies are.

When you bear your testimony you are standing as a witness and telling everyone in the congregation what you know and what you believe about this gospel. It is not a time to tell everyone stories. It is not a time to thank everyone for what they have done for them. Save those for your blogs, relief society, or girls/scout camp. I don't care how you're feeling stressed because you had to drive here, and you don't know if you have enough gas to get back home. I never want to hear the phrase "before I bear my testimony I just want to share an experience with you" This is not the time.

In closing I just want to say that I think the best way to bear your testimony is to bear like you do after giving a talk. After everyone gives a talk they always bear their testimonies on the things they talk and that they are true. That is how we should all bear testimonies. I don't mean to be a stickler, and I'm not trying to be black and white here. You can have funny testimonies, and you can also have powerful testimonies, but please just make it a testimony, and not a storymony/thankamony.

Let Them Play

With the college basketball season narrowed down to four minutes, and my bracket looking almost worse than my two-year old niece's I decided to write about something different than who the best team is or anything like that.

I know some of my comments might sound a little sexist, but really you can't say anything unless you know sports or have played them yourself. Let's start with Women's Basketball, next to soccer, the most boring sport to watch. I'm sorry ladies but there is no talent in women's basketball. The university of Conncectiut is currently on a 75+ game winning streak, and hasn't lost a game in over two years. Frankly, I'm not that impressed. I give all credit to Connecticut, but let's be real here. I truly believe there's roughly 10 ladies in women's basketball with true athletic skills, and I think five of them are on the Huskies' team. That leaves all the other teams in the country to try and play with what they got. The reason why you haven't seen a men's basketball team do that since the days of John Wooden and UCLA, is because there is so much athletic talent in the men's league that there are numerous teams, loaded with talent. To me, UConn just out talents every one of their opponents, but men's basketball there are many teams on the same level and that's why it requires good coaching, and many other facets to influence a game.

My next comment is about the post player from Baylor. Her name is Brittany Griner. She is 6'8" and has just set the record for most blocks in an NCAA tournament. Again, hello? She's 6'8" and every other girl out there is lucky if they reach 6'3". I sure hope she can be able to block every single girl that comes in for a layup. No 5'8" women have the hops to jump over her and dunk it so all she does is just stand there and put her arms up. To be honest with you I don't even think she should be playing. During the middle of this season Brittany got in an altercation with a player from Texas Tech. Instead of pushing back or just walking away she came back and punched the player like a gang banger. What punishment did she receive you ask? TWO GAMES. Call me crazy, but I think any altercation like that deserves a suspension for the whole year. Heck Lagarrette Blount from Oregon was suspended for 10 FOOTBALL games for punching Boise State's Bryon Hout. I capitalize Football because there is only 13/14 games in a football season and 30+ in a basketball. Even that out and that's 25 or so games she should have been suspended. Click this link to watch the punch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtaPtQnu370

Now that i got that off my back the real reason I'm making this post is that after watching 40+ games this NCAA tournament there is still one that I tend to love the most and that is Michigan State vs. Maryland in the second round. In the last 30 seconds there were over three lead changes and, get this, NO TIMEOUTS taken. I loved watching it go back and forth without haveing to wait ten minutes for the next 10 seconds to play out. It was amazing. Click this link to watch the highlights: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_qjKJelCkE

For those of you that don't know the timeout rules in NCAA here they are:
If a game is televised, which all of the tournament games are, there is one media timeout every four minutes.
Each team receives four 30 second timeouts and 1 60 second timeout a game. Each team can carry over their 60 second timeout and three 30 second timeouts into the second half.
Each team get's one timeout in overtime.
Now most coach's keep almost all of their timeouts for the second half. Add that up and that's eight timeouts that can be taken in one half. PLUS the four media timeouts. That's 12 timeouts... in 20 minutes! That's insane. Some coaches also save two to three timeouts for the last three minutes of the game if its close. It's ridiculous. We all love the overtimes cause there's only one timeout for each team in five minutes of play. You get to watch more of the game and less of the Ivan Brothers, or men lifting up their shirts saying, "Bags Fly Free"

Here's what I think the timeout rule should be:
Each team get's three timeouts a half. (two 30-seconds and one 60-second)
No timeouts carry-over
Media timeouts are adjusted to every five minutes. (One at the 15:00 mark, 10:00, and 5:00)
That way they can still save their timeouts, but if a team goes on a big run at the start of the second quarter, it doesn't allow you to just weather the storm for two more minutes and then have the media bail you out.

Most of this might have blown right past your head but for those who understand what I'm talking about I think that we should ought to just let the boys play!

Super Bowl & Mass Effect 2

Good evening everyone. I know it has been a very long time since I've posted my last blog. I really hadn't had much to talk about but now that the football season is over I have something to talk about.

BOISE STATE-

All I have to say is 14-0 baby! All year long they were fighting the football experts on how great they were. It all started with their first game against Oregon, and even now they are being criticized on how good they actually are. Even after they beat a team that many experts thought deserved to be in the national title game. Instead of being praised for beating TCU they are downplaying how good TCU actually was. That was the problem I had with them playing each other in the Fiesta Bowl! It will never be settled until we have a playoff. I made a very good playoff system that I think would work. I have it saved as a powerpoint so I can't post it here, but simply put: We would have a 16 team playoff where each conference (11) gets an automatic qualifier and then you have 5 at larges. Then you take their BCS rankings and seed them 1-16. This is how the first one would look. Note: these rankings were before the BCS bowls were played.
#1 Alabama (SEC) vs. #16 Troy (Sun Belt)
#2 Texas (Big 12) vs. #15 East Carolina (C-USA)
#3 Cincinnati (Big East) vs. #14 Central Michigan (MAC)
#4 TCU (MWC) vs. #13 Penn State (At Large)
#5 Florida (At Large) vs. #12 LSU (At Large)
#6 Boise State (WAC) vs. #11 Virginia Tech (At Large)
#7 Oregon (Pac-10) vs. #10 Iowa (At Large)
#8 Georgia Tech (ACC) vs. #9 Ohio State (Big Ten)
That way everyone has their chance of getting a national championship.
Things might work next year for the Broncos. Only losing one starter they should start in the top 5 next year. With a decent non-conference schedule, and a soft schedule if they go undefeated they have a chance to play for a national championship. Very unlikey but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

The Super Bowl

I'm going to say it right now that I wasn't really looking forward to the Super Bowl. I was actually looking forward to it being over. I've heard so much about the wonderful, trial-overcoming, Saints
and the ankle of Dwight Freeney that I wanted to shoot myself. However, I was a little disappointed in the Colts. I was rooting for them, because I really like Peyton Manning and in my opinion is still the better quarterback. I also liked to rub it in all the BYU fans face when they criticized Austin Collie for leaving a year early. I think I would take a super bowl appearance over a 4th Las Vegas bowl appearance.
Before you all heckle me in saying Peyton Manning gave the game away I just want to say that he wouldn't of had to throw so much if the defense would have showed up in the second half. Without Dwight Freeney at 100% the Colts got NO pressure on Drew Brees. Brees had enough time that he could bend on one knee and tie his shoe and still have time to throw the ball. Oh well. I'm glad its over. I'm looking for my 49ers to make a playoff next year.

MASS EFFECT 2 - GAME REVIEW

Before I left on my mission I made a post of the many video games I played and the first Mass Effect was one of them. Mass Effect 2 was probably one of the most anticipated games I have ever waited for, along with Guitar Hero World Tour.
What's great about this game is that the decisions you made from the first game directly affected what happened in the game. Thence it is a different experience for everyone. The bad thing is that I beat the first one so many times that I forgot which character made what decisions so when I started the second one with one of my random characters I was mad that I chose him. Oh well.
With Soverign destroyed and the previous Council members wiped out, the humans started the Citadel again under their control. Still convinced that the geth was behind the attack and not the Reapers, Shepard was sent to eliminate all remaining threat from the Geth. Shepard soon finds out that the Reapers have another species, The Collectors, helping them create something to wipe out all galactic civilization as we know. Shepard must stop the Collectors and head into a mission where survival is not probable. Doesn't this game sound awesome.

Here are some of the likes and dislikes of this game
LIKES:
Different selection of weapons from machine gun pistols to grenade launchers
Biotic Powers can bend around walls to pull enemies out of cover.
Wide variety selection of characters each with a personal mission to help gain their loyalty.
Guns now have thermal clips instead of just always overheating
Paragon and Renegade moves can help you make bold moves in between dialogues.
An amazing storyline that only makes not able to wait for Mass Effect 3.

DISLIKES:
Many of the characters had the same powers and abilites making them not stand out as much.
Exploring worlds for minerals was a drag and hated doing it.
The very end was kind of easy and not as challenging.
The achievements for Mass Effect were very easy and I was able to get all 1015 in just a week.
One of the characters liked to drop the F Bomb a lot for not very good reasons causing me to avoid using that character.
Towards the end of the game it started to get a little corrupted causing my game to lag, but not enough to matter much

OVERALL ANALYSIS:
I give Mass effect a 4.5/5 and can not wait for the closing chapter in the Mass Effect Trilogy. I hope it will be as amazing as this game was.

Sam's Sports Reactions

I might have to start making this blog my sports blog because that's all I seem to talk about it anymore. Let's face it, sports are my life, and I can't wait to get paid to do this kind of stuff.
My favorite sport to watch and follow is college football. I don't like it because it supposedly has more emotion than professional football. I love it most because there are new teams every year and one team could be great one year and then suck the next year. Here is my top 10 and some of my observations compared to the BCS's top 10
BCS top 10:
1. Florida
2. Alabama
3. Texas
4. TCU
5. Cincinnati
6. Boise State
7. Georgia Tech
8. LSU
9. Pittsburgh
10. Ohio State

My top 10 and observations
1. Texas: I put them #1 because to me they have never been in danger of an upset, and also performed great against quality opponents

2. Florida
3. Alabama
4. TCU: Okay Horned Forgs I put you ahead of my Boise State, but now there are so many TCU fans that think they are something special. Thinking they are the best team in the nation, and I'm not saying they can't beat a Florida, Alabama or Texas, but they need to get off their high horse. I truly believe and I said this even before last nights game that Utah is overrated. Utah had not beaten a quality opponent and already had some close calls. BYU is also overrated so TCU really only had one great win against Clemson in my opinion. Let's not forget they needed overtime to defeat Air Force. Every team has their weaknesses.

5. Boise State: I have them ranked ahead of Cincinnati, because they have been ahead of them most of the season but somehow was passed after Cincinnati barely avoided an upset to UConn. I'm not going to praise BSU cause they have their weaknesses like any other team, and I thought I would let you know what I think are some of their weaknesses.
1. Their inability to put opponents away in road games has worried me a little bit. They allowed Fresno State and Tulsa to come back into games that should have been not as close.
2. One way they let teams back into games is that "they allow a big play on defense" there have been many times that Boise State has allowed a big play while they were on defense. 3 60+ TD's against Fresno and 2 long passing plays that led to two touchdowns for Tulsa made games close.
3. Kyle Brotzman. I don't care how accurate you are... hit the freaking field goal from the left hash. This guy has a curse and I have not seen him make a field goal from the left hash yet, and sooner or later its going to cost Boise State a game like it did to TCU last year.

6. Cincinnati

7. Pittsburgh: I don't know why people don't have this team ranked higher. They've only lost one game and that was to NC State at the start of the season. Since then they have been dominate and will give Cincinnati a run for the Big East Title.

8. Georgia Tech: Clinched the ACC Coastal this week

9. LSU: Clearly the best two loss team in the nation. There only losses are to the #1 and #2 ranked teams in the nation

10. Ohio State

My dream college football system would be a 16 team playoff system with the conference winner getting an automatic bid and then taking 5 at-large bids. Re-rank each team and then have them play. I would explain when and where they would play if someone asked me, but if the college season ended today and we went by my system this is who I would have play in the opening round.

#1 Florida (SEC) vs. #16 Troy (Sun Belt)

#2 Alabama (At Large) vs. #15 Central Michigan (MAC)

#3 Texas (Big 12) vs. #14 Houston (CUSA)

#4 TCU (MWC) vs #13 Iowa (At Large)

#5 Cincinnati (Big East) vs. #12 Oklahoma State (At Large)

#6 Boise State (WAC) vs #11 Oregon (Pac-10)

#7 Georgia Tech (ACC) vs #10 Ohio State (Big Ten)

#8 LSU (At Large) vs #9 Pitt (At Large)

My Sports Weekend

Everyone knows that I love football, and football is what I spend the majority of my time watching over the weekends. After watching and reading articles about football from the three levels I have learned and like.

HIGH SCHOOL

I can't go into too much depth about high school football, because I only went to one game, but from the results of games I am excited to say that the Great Basin West conference has been an exciting year of football. The teams are not that good, heck, the #1 Twin Falls record is still only 4-4, but when I say it is exciting I mean that it is not written on paper.
First off Burley did what it had to do and they won the two most able to win games and luckily they got themselves into the playoffs. Jerome was second and beat every team except Twin Falls like you would expect. This is where it gets interesting. First Canyon Ridge beats Minico who just this last Friday beats the champion, Twin Falls, but then loses to Wood River. What does that say? Canyon Ridge, at the bottom of the conference beat a team that beat the champion, and if Twin Falls would have beaten Minico, and CRHS beat WRHS we would have had to have a three way playoff between Minico, Burley, and Canyon Ridge to see who gets the last two spots. Minico > Burley > CRHS > Minico. I love it! However, don't expect many teams to be represented in the state tournament. TFHS will beat Burley and will get one spot, but I'm thinking Jerome and Minico will not win their games this week.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

I learned many things.

1. The BCS is rigged: I don't agree with Iowa, who has had so many close calls and needed a last second touchdown to beat a 4-4 Michigan State team can jump over an undefeated Boise State and Cincinnati team that both beat their teams by 45 and 32 points respectively. How can LSU who's only loss is to the #1 ranked team in the nation be seeded lower than a USC team who's loss is to a 3-5 Washington team? If I got to vote in the top 10 it would be
#1 Texas
#2 Florida
#3 Alabama
#4 Boise State
#5 TCU
#6 Cincinnati
#7 Iowa
#8 LSU
#9 Oregon
#10 USC
Which brings me to my next point

2. Every team is vulnerable. After watching the Florida and Alabama games and seeing them struggle I can honestly think that Boise State or TCU could beat any team in the nation. I'm not saying they're the best in the nation. What I'm saying is that they deserve a shot at a national championship just as much as the next person.

3. BYU IS TERRIBLE. I used to be an avid BYU fan, but seeing them the past couple of years I have lost interest in them. They are one of the most overrated teams. For the past two years BYU has ridden on the coattails of one major vicotry (a 59-0 win over UCLA who finished the year with two wins in 2008 and a one point win over an Oklahoma team that isn't even in the top 25 anymore) After they won their second MWC title they thought they needed to focus more on national rankings than conference rankings, causing them to lose focus on TCU and Utah, getting blown out in the last three games. It sickens me to say that BYU is not good, but its true. They let SDSU score 28 or so points on them the week before, and besides that win at Oklahoma they really haven't accomplished much. So Cosmo, before you go ripping a paper that says TCU in front of national television, maybe you should go rip the depth chart of your defense, because it is terrible.

PROFESSIONAL

I don't follow pros nearly as much, but I just wanted to say that even though my 49ers lost today I wanna say that I'm proud of them. They showed me that they can come back from a deficit, and that they can score in bunches. After being down 21-0 to Houston they could have just thrown in the towel, but instead they brought the game back to 24-21 and actually had a chance to drive down the field and win the game, but just came up a little short. Alex Smith looked great today throwing three TD passes and only one INT which was on the second last play of the game.
I don't expect the niners to win the division, but I would love to see them go 9-7 and maybe even make the playoffs.

Well I know I probably bored all you non football fans to death, but I had to get my feelings out to someone. Hope you enjoy!

Boise State vs. BYU

You all know me and how I love to gab and gab about sports, well here I am again to plainly state my view on the two teams that have caused the most attention on my facebook. Being a fan of both teams I will make this sound as unbiased/most fair as I can make it.

Which team is better? Or more importantly which team will bust the BCS? After week three of the college football season its plain to see who's definitely got a better chance. That would be Boise State who is currently 3-0, ranked #8 in the nation, and to me only has two tough games that are stopping them from an undefeated season. That would be @ Tulsa, and at home against Nevada. You can't count out Hawaii too, because it has always been hard for Boise State to garner a win in Honolulu, and Boise State has lost the last two trips to Honolulu. Both in 2007 against conference champion and BCS buster Hawaii, and then later that year to East Carolina in their bowl game. Boise State has already topped their two biggest challenges on their schedule. A 19-8 win over previously ranked Oregon and a 51-34 win over Fresno.

Boise State had a close call on Saturday, even though the score doesn't tell. Boise State's run defense struggled as Fresno had three touchdowns on runs of 60+ yards. I hope to me it was an off night, but if it wasn't then Boise could have some challenges against Nevada who has a great scrambling quarterback calling the shots. Boise State didn't show much offense except for some big plays that garnered them the most points. They failed to efficiently drive down the field. They definitely have some more room to improve.

My prediction BSU finishes undefeated and is ranked #4 at the end of the regular season behind Florida, Texas, and Penn State.

Brigham Young University started this year under the radar at #20, but a thriller over #3 Oklahoma immediately put them on the spotlight. They jumped the most spots after a preseason poll ranking to #9 in the nation, ahead of Boise State and in the driver's seat to bust the BCS. After a 54-3 drubbing of Tulane it seemed like BYU had everything figured out. The defense was making plays, and the offense was back to how it was at the beginning of the 2008-09 year.

Then came Florida State. Florida State was previously ranked before losing to Miami, and then needing some last minute heroics to beat a terrible Jacksonville State team. With the game being in Provo, and the look of the Cougars it looked like BYU would be able to comfortably handle Florida State. Boy were they in for a surprise. Christian Ponder and the Seminoles had a sound first half. Scoring touchdowns on every drive. But BYU wasn't a slouch either. If it wasn't for an opening drive fumble in the redzone and a fumble on the last kickoff return, we could have went into halftime with the score 27-21, but instead 30-14. BYU was in catchup mode the rest of the game, and a pick 6 from Max Hall on the opening drive of the 3rd quarter didn't help much. Max Hall played like he did against TCU/Utah/Arizona last year. The defense was nowhere to be found. The Cougars could not make a stop on third down to save their life and the Florida State Seminoles rolled to a 54-28 victory.

BYU will be fine. Florida State is a solid team, and I believe they will have a successful season. BYU will also be successful if they tune up their defense, because let's face it, BYU cannot win when they go down by more than one score. They panic. They get in too big of a hurry and make up costly mistakes that turn a leak into a flood. Almost how I play my NCAA Football games on my XBOX. I worry for this team, and I don't think they'll be able to make a BCS berth this year. They'll be lucky to win the conference with the sound TCU team looking good.

My prediciont: BYU 10-2. They will lose to TCU and be 2nd in the MWC.

What do these two teams have in common? Well they both proved that they have a long ways to go on both offense and defense. Boise State has an easier schedule and right now that seems to be the better strategy, because even if BYU wins the rest of their games I don't think they'll be able to catch back up. And it will definitely look bad for BYU if they lose to Utah, because we all know who Utah lost to this week... Oregon. So even though we don't know which team is better right now, we do know which team has a better shot at the better games, and that is the BCS.
