I don't know that they'd lose to Florida this year.

I agree with the other poster that they'd probably lose three games. Maybe more?

It's easy to get up for one big game a year.

Rivalry games are different. If they were Tennessee and had to play rival(s) Alabama, Florida, Georgia and South Carolina every year with a combination of Auburn/LSU in the West. They would lose 2-5 games.

There would be more injuries too because SEC consists of faster and harder hits.

Think lightweights in boxing compared to heavyweights. Far fewer knockouts. Big guys pack the punches and the BCS conferences are the heavyweight contenders. SEC is Klichko and WAC is Shane Mosley(the washed up version). Klichko would beat that midgets a**.

It doesn't matter. The SEC has multiple teams capable of beating Boise State if the Broncos aren't prepared. Of the remaining 11 game Boise State has, they could probably win 8 or 9 sleepwalking.

lol. Ya, just the last two years. This year, they only match up with 10th ranked Virginia Tech, even after traveling 2300 miles East and playing VT in their own backyard.

There isn't a factual argument against Boise State that couldn't be made about any team outside of the SEC.

Agreed. This is going to ruin the college football season having to listen to all this BS talk about Boise St. being a worthy NC contender for the next 3 months. Teams that don't play in a BCS conference should not be eligible for the BSCNCG. They play a one game schedule with 10 other glorified scrimmages. Of course they win these kind of games. When you only have to get ready for one game all season, this is what happens. Ohio St. will likely run undefeated through the weak Big 11 as well, so everyone can look forward to OSU and Boise for a NC. AWESOME. :banghead2:

i'm going more towards Boise vs TCU for an "awesome" NC

Technically you are correct.

But BSU has 20 starters back from a team that beat OU pretty soundly.

Has OU significantly upgraded? Don't know but Massoli is gone and it's hard to imagine the new guy is better.

Ya, Virginia Tech was "likely to take them" as well. Could have, too. But they didn't.

Not really. I've said all along that BSU would probably win tonight. That's the nature of the one game season that they play. They knew that everything for the entire season was on the line tonight, and if they got this win they would coast into the NC game thanks to a bunch of idiots who have them ranked so high to start the season.

In a situation where they face comparable competition on a week to week basis, the teams I mentioned would probably be able to take them.

Did I say that? There are teams out there that play a heck of a lot harder schedule than BSU does!

And BSU beats them consistently, and plays the toughest schedule they can get. What can BSU do to earn a shot at the title?

How would you like me to answer your speculation? I have no idea if they would or would not. I don't know if any team will finish undefeated in the SEC.

I just didn't like your reply. Who knows sounded kind of like, "well **** your question." What else do you talk about after the game is over. I apologize.

So if they somehow win the national title, that will be BS too because it was a "3 game season?"

I would say yes.

LSU has more talent than Boise, but Petersen can coach circles around Les Miles. LSU would have to play a nearly mistake-free game to beat Boise, and I simply don't think they're capable of it. Miles sucks too much.

I would pick Boise over SCar.

The only SEC team I would pick over BSU right now is Bama. Georgia and Florida, jury is still out. Every other team in the SEC, I'd give Boise at least a 50/50 shot of beating at a neutral site.

That's the thing. Most national title contenders would have odds considerably better than that.

i was getting at that you can't guarantee that Ranked Team A easily beats Ranked Team B based off of a game a previous year and say it's a done deal

if that were the case then there's no point in the Vikings playing the Saints b/c the Saints showed they were better last year, and the colts get 6 passes to not play their division rivals

What's really unfortunate, is this wasn't late in the season. BSU will still need some help.

Well if thats the toughest schedule they can get, then they should never deserve a BCS title shot.

Either join a BCS conference or just be out of luck. Why does everyone try to act like its some sort of manifest destiny that Boise should get a shot at the NC? If you spend 90% of your season playing teams that are in the bottom third of D-1 you don't deserve to play for a championship, simple as that.

how many free games are they allowed to scedule? they could probably get more than just 1 "big game" on their schedule each season

After watching this game, If they win out I wouldn't mind them playing for the NC. Do I think they are as deep as a SEC or PAC 10 team and could handle the grind of a BCS conference? No, not really, but they also can take WAC level players and give anyone in the country a game as well. They're well coached, disciplined, and a tough football team.
