nite nite bronco.

And you blame them because the cowards in the major conferences almost always refuse to schedule them??

[damientheomen3]

I watched from the second half to the end. Best game I've ever seen.

This logic is so idiotic.
OMG BOISE STATE LOST TO A TOP 25 TEAM THEY SUCKCKCCAHIUWETH31!!!HAEJGHOIURG blah blah blah

Oh but Auburn has squeaked by in 3 games this season. That proves they're good and deserve to be in the title game. College football is so skewed towards big conferences it's absolutely unbelievable and the only people who DON'T want to see it proven on the field of play are the ones who love their big schools and their AQ conferences.

It's the only sport where money is more important than actually crowing a legit champion.

I hope TCU scores 100 points today. The BCS is a complete joke and needs to go away.

Exactly. The last thing the NCAA cares about is competition by student athletes or else they'd have a playoff in place. It's all about the $$$$$.

Obviously Virginia Tech and Oregon State scheduled them? That's a very strong out of conference schedule.

The problem is in the conference. If you play in a stronger conference, you can schedule I-AA teams for all out of conference games and still get a stronger schedule than Boise State.

Well, it has to be skewed toward big conferences, because that's where you see much more stronger teams collide.

Using the BCS standing last week, Auburn has beaten 5 in the top 25. Boise State? 1-1 against top 25.

I don't know what's not legit about the BCS champions. I personally consider it much more legit than those crowned by playoffs where you can have a weaker team luck into the championships.

The best would be round-robin of all teams with no playoffs.

Actually they're 2-1, they beat Va Tech and they beat Oregon State.

That's exactly the argument that big conference supporters use. They don't play anybody but each other. How does that mean they're good, again?

Really it's just amazing to me that anybody could be in favor of NOT playing the games on the field.

[damientheomen3]

It really bugs me when people make it sound as if Boise State is such a bad sport and don't deserve a legit shot because they're in a bad conference despite the fact that the team is moving to a BCS conference in a season or two.

Let's see................you're right, Auburn has 'squeaked by' in 3 games this season. Bama (top twenty), Miss St (8-4), and Clemson. That doesnt prove they're good and deserve to be in the title game. Going undefeated for the season and in the SEC does, however.

Can you name someone who has refused to schedule them? That being said I am for a playoff and I am an Alabama grad. Settle it on the field. But until that happens, say what you will but only having 3 or 4 (more likely only1 or 2) tough games per year at best proves nothing to me. Play in any of the major conferences and we wouldn't even be talking about Boise State in the first place.

It was a big problem a couple of years ago. the Boise State AD said that he sent a message to every big school in the nation for an OOC game (saying they'd even be fine with playing that team on the road) and they all said no.

Oregon State isn't anywhere in the top 25. I am using the BCS standing last week, not AP poll position of when the teams meet, which is pretty pointless especially early in the season.

Big conferences do have better out of conference schedules overall, and that makes them good. Look at the overall record of WAC, and you'd see how it's much worse than the big conferences.

I think it's more whining and posturing than anything else. They typically have a PAC-10 school on schedule, and they get the likes of Arkansas, Georgia, and Virginia Tech on schedule every other year.

When you send a message to "every" big school in the nation, of course it's expected to have most of them say no.

[Skipaway]

Something very funny with the schedule though: Ohio State turns out to have an even softer schedule than Boise State. They faced only one top team, and they lost.

Do you actually believe he did that and he got a no from every responder? I don't.

One thing to remember, schedules are made out many years in advance. Sometimes (very often), a school doesnt have an opening for several years. He can't expect to make a call and get a game next season most of the time.

Why pick on Ohio State? According to Sagarin, TCU and Wisconsin had even weaker schedules.

They were #19 when they played. I know that hurts your argument and saying they're not ranked anymore makes it look better, but that's really not valid.
