They won't schedule a home and home with Boise. Boise can get some games against them but it always has to be on the road. So what do you do if you Boise? Do you schedule at Bama, at Oregon, at Texas, etc. every year and come out with 2-3 losses or do you keep doing what you're doing and winning 12-13 games a year, having a great shot at getting a BCS bid, and if things shake out right, being in the title hunt every year?

all i'm saying is you can't have it both ways. you have to play to get a shot at the top games. if you aren't willing to attempt a tougher schedule, than you can't expect a reward at the end of a season.
look at houston-crept to #6 because they were undefeated. people gave them more credit than they deserved, and that's why they got that high. thankfully so. miss. exposed them. you can't play less than a top notch schedule and then demand to be treated as top notch.
