regardless of why they don't have that tough a schedule, it will continue to hamper them post-season.
Did you forget to read the first post on this page?? You even replied to it. They've played people. Are you unable to comprehend that they have played in the Big West, then the WAC, and finally the Mountain West this year...since they wend D1 they have upgraded their conference continually...they simply got a bad break when Utah and BYU bolted, now they change again in 2013? When you are in a conference you play the conference. Why is it so hard to fathom that anyone in the SEC plays a tough schedule even if they only schedule patsies outside....again if you expect Boise to schedule two SEC teams, two Pac 12 teams and a big 12 team all on the road out of conference, you are not comprehending reality. You want them to play 9 road games and 4 home games every year. Which to play the schedule you want them to would be required.

i don't care who they play in the slightest. my only point i've tried to make is you can't get rewarded if you don't play a tough schedule. if they can't, they can't. fine. but they can't then turn around and demand a big bowl.

people, please!

if you got rid of the bowl system and installed a playoff, we'd all miss 6-7 ucla play against an illinois team that's lost 6 games in a row going into the fired coaches bowl.

let's not get ahead of ourselves.
