What a farce that Boise and their 115th ranked schedule and 30,000 seat stadium didn't get into one of the 5 top bowl games. If you don't play schedules like top 15 teams, recruit like top 15 teams, produce nfl picks like top 15 teams, play on tv and top stadiums like top 15 teams, don't expect to get treated like top 15 teams.
FYI.. Since 1999 their are and have been 12 Boise State Football players in the NFL...Currently Ryan Clady Broncos 1st rounder, Chris Carr Titans, Legadu Nanee Chargers, Korey Hall FB Green Bay, Derek Schouman Buffalo Bills.. Orlando Scandrick Cowboys, Quentin Mikell Eagles Gerald Alexander lions , Daryn Colledge Green bay... SO shut your PIE HOLE about getting into the NFL..
Top 15 teams.. Like thats the players fault?? They beat who is put in front ot them.. Your TOP 15 TEAMS DO NOT WANT TO COME TO BOISE TO PLAY.. that is the problem... BSUs AD will only schedule Home and Home, unfortunately none of the Big Schools Want to play on the blue..

If Boise scheduled a couple BCS teams every year we wouldn't be talking about this. With the exception of Oregon they had one of the easiest schedules in football this year. No team on their schedule had better than a 7-5 record. The more I look at this game, the more I think TCU is probably going to drill them in their bowl game. I still think Boise is a little bit of a paper tiger this year. I know many will probably disagree with me. But I think TCU is the best non BCS team in the country. And the MWC was a much better conference than the WAC this year. And they also pretty much made the Pac-10 their bitches too.
Wow, Boise's 12 players look good next to the Ohio states, usc's, florida's, texas's that put that many out in a single year.
Those stats don't mean shit when they're run up against Utah St, San Jose St.
Teams won't come to Boise cause they lose money traveling to the middle of nowhere to play in front of 30,000 fans. Florida State earned their respect by playing anyone, anywhere in the 70's and 80's, and eventually it made them into a powerhouse program. Boise should take that same model instead of acting pompous and shocked that the BCS is passing over them for teams that have 10 times the history they do.
For all those stats you put out, check out these...besides BSU's win over the worst Big 12 champion in 10 years, without their best player half the game, they've done the following...
W 37-32 @ Oregon
L 41-38 vs. ECU
L 24-10 @ a terrible Washington
L 48-13 @ Georgia
L 27-21 vs. BC at home
L 30-27 @ Oregon State
L 44-40 vs. Louisville
L 26-24 @ Oregon State
L 41-14 @ Arkansas
L 32-13 @ South Carolina
L 41-20 vs. Washington State
L 38-7 @ UCLA
All in a 7 year span. Yes, teams that lose by 2 TD's to a god awful Washington team, give up 41 to ECU, are down 30 by halftime @ Georgia, Arkansas, UCLA and South Carolina and lose home bowl games to Boston College should be in yearly BCS debates. I've never seen one team get so far on a game that very easily could have gone the other way than Boise has on their Fiesta Bowl win.

Y'all who are predicting TCU to beat Boise St. oughta bite their tongue. They've met up with much better than TCU in past bowl games and proven time and time again how undervalued they are. Comparing their schedule to anyone elses proves only that they are unproven in the eyes of those who haven't studied them and know how well they execute on both sides. Caution... once burned twice shy. I'd be careful if I was you guys. They've been winning big and little games a lot longer than TCU. Their SOS this year is fools logic. This is the winningest program in Div 1-A over the last 5 years. Maybe you can say they are too good for the WAC. That would be a true statement -- probably a lot more true than to assume they are in a lower class because of the conference they play in.
no sympathy for Boise here. If Masoli wasn't knocked out of the game on a helmut to helmut flagrant late hit the Ducks don't lose that game anyway.
