agree they are not going to ding teams that lose in P5 conferences on the road or to other top 10 teams . that is why we really need to beat BSU at home . A Need To Win Game for us . But BSU also knows could be game breaking win for them . What team can out execute the other wins . Do need a full and involved crowd for SDSU . I'm pretty sure it is the team that outscores the other that wins.

But BSU also knows could be game breaking win for them . What team can out execute the other wins . Do need a full and involved crowd for SDSU . Agree if the objective/goal is top 4-5 seed, conference title outright & #1 MW seed in tourney. Obviously that's our goal.
But "Need" implies all could be lost without IMO, and even if we lose this one we could still a) win last 2 & tie for regular season title (is based on record only); b) get the #2 seed; c) beat a combination like UNLV, CSU & then BSU in rematch; d) still be a top 20-22 RPI, and get a top 6-7 seed. We could even lose in the MW final & still be a #8/#9 seed.
Do agree though, this game is very important to us but frankly MORE important to BSU. They're on the bubble & a loss here, while it won't necessarily eliminate them, it would probably mean they'd need to at least make the MW final to make the dance. Pending what other "bubble" teams do of course (e.g. UCLA/Stanford/Oregon could all lose a couple games & BSU may jump them, etc.).

Updated through the morning set of games... Right now, a win vs. Boise would make us no worse than the 3rd 6 seed.

ok Need to win if we want a strong chance of winning the MW championship outright - plus a decent seed in the West- BSU has two easy games after this . As JJ said in today's UT - payback/pride game for the team, do not want any team saying they beat us twice ,in conference play and any team saying they beat us on our home court , believe we could be the only team in MW that could go undefeated at home . We have to play at UNLV , never a cake walk . in addition they could really be fired up if they win today .
BSU is a bubble team so yes they could win the MW and even get into MM with a win over us . so they also have a lot to play for .
