Fresno State vs. Baylor....

[portlandog]

Assuming these two meet in the Fiesta Bowl, what chance do you give Fresno State of upsetting Baylor?

My best guess is 20%.

 

[Doctor Krieger]

5% at most imo

Baylor would put up 60.

 

[MarkOU]

50/50

Anything is possible.

I think it's a WAY higher probability that the OP is an Oregon fan that may have posted here before.

Negative. I'm a lifelong Fresno State fan who now lives in Oregon. This is my username on the Fresno State Scout board. Ducks are my new second team. Calling me a bandwagon Duck fan wouldn't be incorrect.

Welcome to the Hoop!

Pardon the inquisitiveness...but, we have some...err...A zealous Duck fan and alt accounts are frowned upon.

Baylor is the sort of team where you have to have a Grade A defensive front to really screw up their groove. There's a talent requirement. Bad matchup for the non AQs. They'd match up better with one of the meat grinder type teams.

Think the odds are pretty long unless Baylor spends the off time eating twinkies and masturbating over how great they are and how it's bullshit they don't get a shot at Bama.

 

[Olyduck]

all pointless to take a guess. could be Boise State vs Oklahoma or Utah vs Alabama or it could be Hawaii vs Georgia or NIU vs FSU. could go either way

 

[TexasExes98]

With well over a month to prepare for one team, anything can happen.

I agree with this. I was hoping that OU would somehow make it in, but oh well. No matter what happens this season has been a success. That being said, a win would be fantastic!

 

[Shanemansj13]

They both have the same chance of winning.

 

[Boise4Life]

Less than 5%, but I'd be rooting for them. Baylor's defense is much better than people give them credit for and I think that offense would have a field day against the Fresno D. Like others have mentioned, you never know until you know however.

 

[WhiteMamba]

Yes anybody can win.

But lets be real. It isnt 50/50

The reality is, one team is better than the other.

Vegas would have Baylor as a 3 td favorite.

But yes, that is why they play the game.

But to act like one team would not have a huge advantage is silly.

Would we say the same in a Bama vs UCF game? No, one team is better, and would be a huge favorite.

did a little BCS scenarioing this morning and this match-up is what may happen

how about NOLA having to get UCF and Northern Illinois for the Sugar Bowl or shouldn't that be the New Orleans Bowl?

Baylor would light the scoreboard up on Fresno State

Finally a Dog fan on this board! But if I were you, I'd be more worried about getting by BSU for a second time. I'm afraid we will be the ones crushing your dreams, not Baylor.

 

[RegentDenali]

Will be an even bigger slaughter than the 2008 Georgia vs. Hawaii Sugar Bowl.

Baylor would easily score 60+.

 

[Nate]

Fresno State - 77
Baylor - 3

That game will be a good one for sure. Beating you Donks twice in one year would be sooooooo sweet!

 

[occupant]

OU has no business being in a BCS game this year.

As a matter of opinion, I'm going to go ahead and call it for next year too...even though our schedule is looking somewhat favorable as we get the two best Big XII teams from this year at home next year. We graduate like 20 guys and most have seen significant playing time.

Now, two years from now...we'll see.

If Boise plays Fresno in the MWC CCG, I bet there will be a lot of BSU fans.
