... the BCS, the question will inevitably be answered soon; who should be ranked higher Oregon or Boise State?  

Since losing a matchup to the Broncos in Boise on Sept. 3, the Ducks have won seven straight and are arguably the hottest team in the country.  But should a head-to-head lose hold back the Ducks?  Here is why I think it should not.
