Yes, Arizona played in a number of close games this season. And if it wasn't for #CollegeKickers, they'd have been 11-1, and probably ranked in the top 6 going into that Pac12 title game.J-Rod wrote:Of course that's true, but still....they needed a late stop at home to narrowly beat Nevada too....and struggled away from home vs. a horrible UTSA team. They're in the Fiesta Bowl for a reason, but of all the teams Boise could have ended up playing, this is the easiest. f-word, Wyoming looked better vs. Oregon than UA did on Friday.
I'm not saying Boise will win, I'm just saying it's outlandish to say they don't have a chance. They're 3-point underdogs for goodness sake.
Reasons why I like Arizona big:
1. How'd the MWC do against the Pac12 this season? 1-9.
2. Boise's best win = CSU; Arizona = Oregon
3. Scooby Wright III - best playmaking LB in NCAA D1 FBS
4. Grant Hedrick - need I say more?
5. Tucson to Glendale = 131 miles, Boise to Glendale = 898 miles ==> this is basically going to be a home game for Arizona
6. Grant Hedrick, so good I have to say it again

Honestly, all kidding aside, Arizona plays to the level of their opponent more than any team I've seen in a while. I see Arizona controlling this game, but pulling out a win late, 35-31.
