Colin Cowherd talks about the Warriors

About UH's chance to get a BCS bid, Cowherd said:
"I talked to guys in Vegas who set the lines and they told me Hawai'i is the darkhorse in the country to be in a (Bowl Championship Series) game." (HA)

"I think if you follow college football, it is not out on the limb (as a pick). You look at returning lettermen, the schedule and their returning quarterback ... I actually got a couple dozen e-mails (from listeners) and people who follow college football and who thought the same thing. Boise State and Utah have done it (going unbeaten into a BCS game), so it isn't that far-fetched." (HA)

HA Note: "Significantly, according to Jay Kornegay, the Hilton's sports book director, the over-under on a season win total is offered only on about 30 teams. And of them, Kornegay said, just two have a line set at 11 — UH and Southern California.

Moreover, the Hilton has tabbed two of UH's games — Nov. 16 at Nevada and Nov. 23 with Boise State — among its so-called "games of the year" already posted. You might be surprised UH is already an 8-point pick over five-time WAC champion Boise State and a 5-point favorite over Nevada."
