    How Can Anyone Still Doubt Boise State at this point?
    They get knocked for playing in the WAC, yet they are now 4-0 in their last four games vs. BCS conferences and 2-0 last two games vs. TCU, which is just as good as a BCS school.

    Even more impressive was the WAY they beat Va Tech, as showing great composure with the game on the line the way they did was probably more impressive than if the Broncos blew the Hokies out, as it proves that Boise won't wilt in a tight game.

    Looks like it will be Boise State vs. the SEC Champ (Alabama again?) for all the marbles, and that may also help settle the "what if Boise played in the SEC" argument.

        I never did. They are super solid and have a great coaching staff. I was never real high in v tech but getting the job done late is the neat way to solidify belonging at the top

          We may get the chance to find out, and I'd like Boise at +7 or more.

                They would struggle to beat UCLA, let alone USC... Ohio St. would crush them by double digits..

                VT is not good.. Why can't you guys understand this?

                  Vtech wasnt prepared for this game but still had it almost. I like the boise style of play but lets be real they aint that great. There defense was mush most of the game and had one lucky 73 yd run otherwise they lose this game pretty easy.

                    They would be just as good if they played on a purple field with yellow poka-dots.

                          Boise would beat ANY team in the Pac-10. I am also not as high on Ohio State as most people as I am anti Big Ten, although the Buckeyes are far and away the best team in the conference. I still that that Alabama is better. If Ohio State goes undefeated and Alabama loses a game, than it will have to beat Ohio State vs. Boise and Boise wins that game outright. If Ohio State loses a game, then it will almost certainly be Boise vs. SEC Champ, and I would take Boise with the points as a decided underdog.

                            Read Post #1.

                            It's not Boise's fault their conference sucks, and it doesn't matter because they keep winning when they step up in class to face BCS schools, proving that they are legit.

                              i like boise and i like the job their coach has done but they will have to win it all to compensate for their perrenial craptastic conference schedule. they can keep puttin 1-2 decent teams on there a year, but when you have so few games that you really have to prepare for all year, you're never going to be validated as 100% legit with little to no argument unless you can win it all. it's not really fair but it's just the truth.

                                thats bull sh it. VT had all summer long to prepare for this game. that is no excuse. boise state just had a better coach, better game plan, and more poise down the stretch here.

                                i love boise state's attitude. "we will play any team, anywhere"

                                  What dumb people don't realize is this isn't their first rodeo... it WAS a big deal when they crashed the party FIVE years ago and beat Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl.... It's not a one year fluke thing... it's been building.

                                  Hawaii with Colt Brennen... that was a fluke......

                                  Boise & TCU have gotten their reputation the old fashioned way.. they earned it.

                                    ^^

                                    i know my buckeyes like the back of my dick. If they meet up with boise in the bowl season take a wild guess which side my bankroll riding on...


                                    Boise is the real deal. It doesn't mean they are the best but they could compete with anyone and win. And they do it.

                                      Boise needs to be rooting for V Tech to actually be a quality win. V Tech has some legit competition down the road...If they win those game Boise is moving up in peoples minds. I do think that if two schools from a BCS auto qualifier go undefeated Boise is odd man out for sure.

                                          I think if time permits, Boise St can go heads up with any of the big dogs. But what i don't think they can do is compete at that level every week like the big 12 and SEC does. And on top of that, The Big 12 and SEC both have championship games. I don't think Boise could hang week in and week out. But like i said, with time to prepare i think Boise is up there with the best of em.

                                              Boise made me money tonight....they have made me money in the past.....

                                              This does not mean they could get out of the SEC or BIG 12 or BIG 10 undefeated or 1 loss...just would not happen.

                                                  You can't knock them cause they win every big game that they have an opportunity to play in.

                                                            Boise is a good team, and they played a good game, but really, that was a far from dominate performance. They started off hot, but faded off, and they did nothing to stake thier claim as one of the top two teams.

                                                              If they played an SEC team for the NC that hardly settles "what if they played in the SEC". Playing a real schedule is the problem most have with that team. How many teams do you hear talk about, well if you get past the first week you have a pretty clear shot to the NC game. That is a joke.

                                                                Boise is a good team... a team that very likely will get rolled in the Championship game because they play no one else all year and will end the year undefeated... until the play Bama and lose by 3+ TD's... but hell it will be a good story till then!

Would Boise go undefeated in the Big 12/SEC no, would they finish with a couple losses, yeah, but they would also improve after a couple seasons.... they very much are the real deal
