Going all the way across the country to play Virginia Tech sort of disqualifies them for that distinction. They also won seven games last year by over 30 points.
If they played 90% of their games at home....and beat teams like new Mexico St. and San Jose St. by 3 points every time....maybe.

as long as bsu is allowed to play big teams with 6 weeks or 6 months to prepare, they'll have a chance to win.
i heard on the radio that Nebraska tried to sign a 3 yr deal bsu. 2 in Nebraska 1 @ bsu. bsu wanted the second game at Neb to be a neutral site. Neb said no, and Neb. wanted to play in the middle of the season and bsu said no.
who does bsu think they are to call thier shots against the big boys? i don't want to hear no one will play them, it's not true.

when did nebraska become a shot caller again?

they took on the #10 team in the nation basically in their back yard.... i don't think they're ducking programs as much as they just want home and homes probably, who the F wants to go to boise, idaho in nov.?

Why should they go 2 for 1 against nebraska? This aint 1985 anymore.

and Darren....they ARE one of the big boys now. No one wants play them, especially in Idaho. Think any of the vaunted SEC teams would ever venture onto the blue field when Jacksonville state is available? C'mon give them their due. Under the theory you guys operate on the NCAA basketball tourney should be reduced to 8 teams and lesser conference teams like Memphis and Butler shouldn't be invited. I read a story today stating that even though the writer had them ranked as the 2nd best team in the country because JMU beat Va Tech, Boise shouldn't play in the nat'l championship game. What kind of ****in logic dictates that the 2nd best team in the country shouldn't play in the title game because of what another team does? If they are so unworthy then what is the big deal? They will get killed in the championship game anyway? Right? They are the best thing that has happened to college football in that their continued success will eventually force a change to a playoff.

Paterno died last night. Don't worry...he'll be on the field. Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Silverman will carry him out.

Fair enough. They are a very good team. This isn't an original idea by any means, but if any of the top 10 teams played their schedule the results would be the same. I'd like to see how they would stack up in the SEC year in and year out.

True. They deserve credit for winning the big games they have in recent years (Oklahoma, Oregon, TCU, VA Tech, etc) but it is obviously a whole lot easier to get up for a couple of big games a year than it is to play the grinding season that SEC or Big 12 South teams have faced in recent years.
In those conferences you could beat the 3 teams that are supposed to be the tough games and still lose a game to a solid team like Oklahoma St or Auburn. If Boise wins their 3 toughest games, they only have to beat poor WAC teams the rest of the way.

But still, it really is amazing that they have built a program like that given that they are in Idaho, have no tradition, and play in the WAC conference. Incredible. If they go undefeated, I hope they get a shot at the National Championship over a one-loss team from a major conference. They might not be better, but it would be cool to see them get a shot. If two teams emerge undefeated from one of the major conferences, however, they should obviously be picked over Boise.
