    boise state could never hang in the SEC!!!!!
    why is everyone so ******* mesmerized by these guys? yea, they'll prob win every game this year, CAUSE THEY DON'T PLAY ANYBODY!!!!!! last year was a fluke and the ONLY reason they beat VT was because those new Nike jerseys were to tightc'mon people, Boise state! put them up against a Florida, Tennessee or god forbid the had to play Alabama! and remember what Georgia did to them a couple of years ago. try as they might and i know great athletes come from these schools the WAC is just in a different league. thoughts?

    I think it's funny when people use that excuse. Does it ever to occur to anybody that if they were in the SEC they would have better athletes too. They're 4-1 since 2005 against top 10 teams and they've had 1 4 star recruit in that time span. They are beating BCS schools with far and away less talent just think what they would do if they had alabama's roster. I'm not even a Boise fan at all, that's just not a good excuse for why they are as highly ranked as they are.

      if bosie st was in the SEC they would get the same recruits as the teams in the SEC, everyone needs to stop hating and give them some props....they beat EVERYONE they play! last year people said Oregon would wax them, and yesterday everyone talked about the SHARP money being on VT, its not smart to bet against these guys because the only way they get to play in AZ in January is to cover every spread!

        If they moved in to the SEC tomorrow they would not be the top team in the SEC. Give them 2-3 years to recruit in the SEC and they would be just as good as Alabama and Florida on a week to week basis.

          I'm a SEC fan and I totally disagree that Boise couldn't hang. Those kids play tough, they play with heart and they are well coached.

          Boise St is a good team. We can argue all we want about strength of schedule or whether or not a team like Boise should really play in the title game but you can not argue that when Boise St comes to play, you better not slip up.

            well, they won their only meaningful game this yr.
            lets go ahead and award them the title.

            and no they wouldnt compete in the SEC with the recruits they have now but if given the same gene pool to pick from as the SEC then they would be a contenter.

            got to give them props though, they show up for every big game, but in the SEC they'd play more than 1 big game a yr

                    You and every other person who thinks this is ignorant, how many big games vs top teams does Boise have to win to realize this, I would love for Boise to play bama in the national championship I'm not saying they would win but it would definitly be a game that is close and who knows in the end Boise might pull the upset... They know how to win and are well coached and I would take that over almost anything.

                      Anyone who watched last nights game should be able to identify two very quality football teams on that field. If you didnt see that, you dont know your ass from your elbow. Boise could hang with ANY team on a neutral field and win on any given day. Would they lose a couple games if they were in the brutal SEC? Sure. But that does not take away from what they have accomplished in the last decade. Currently, best program west of the Mississippi IMO.

                        CORRECT, everyone is saying "if they were in SEC they would have the choice to draft the same talent as a bama or fla." but there not in the SEC, face it, the south produces better football players! why is an SEC team if not contending in the national championship EVERY YEAR

                          My opinion is this... I think Boise St is a fine team and can beat anybody at any given time.. However, that being said i don't think they could hold up to the beating and physicality of the SEC schedule week in and week out in conference play and be undefeated. If Boise was in the SEC West they would probably be the 3rd best team at the end of the year with what they currently have, but at the same time think for just one game a winner take all they can beat anybody and they have proved it time and time again when given the opportunity.

                            Boise State can hang with anyone in the contry because they are well prepared and poised team. They play hard and consistant throughout the entire season and deserve a BCS title game if they go undefeated. They could be in the SEC and hang with the best of them if givin the oppourtunity.

                              Boise St. can play ball hands down and yea granted they r in a weak conference but they seem to do just fine with teams ranked in the top ten. So i don't know how anyone can really doubt these guys anymore.

                                I would take Boise St over every SEC team with maybe the exception being Bama & I would have to think long & hard on that one. It all starts with their head coach Peterson. I think this guy is one of the best if not the best coach in the country. He continually gets his kids to play hard for each other against so called superior teams. What he has done is amazing to me. His ability to instill the values of hard work & family is why this guy is a winner. Having the more talented team means nothing, football is a team game where you are only as good as the man next to you.

                                  Boise is a solid team and right now would crush Tennessee, beat Florida and most of the SEC Teams. They will give Alabama everything they can handle. Vir. Tech is a very good athletic team with speed. It was a classic game and lived up to the Hype!

                                    You all are missing the point. Put them in any BCS conference and it changes everything. Right now they only have to "get up" for games 2 weeks out of the year. look at the other conferences who have to get up and stay up. They played a great game last night and got a lucky personal foul call on the last drive to help them win. Untill they join a big boy conference I believe they should be on the outside looking in.....Roll Tide!! And Go BEAVERS (boise's only other competitive game)

                                      yes they are good, BUT they have to scratch and claw for every point they get. if you let LSU, FLA, GA, BAMA, and even other schools not in the SEC like USC (of past),NC,....point is these schools will dominate you if you slow down for a second.
                                      boise just dosent play anyone to challege their metal

                                        They could hang whit everybody right now, theyre offense is so good many of this guys will play in the nfl soon, they play nobody but they put more than 40 points per game, youre one of those guys who actually talk just because you "think" you know bout sports. They could easily SMASH tenesee and can give a good fight if not winning to FLA, OK, BAma, etc.
                                        Ur basically saying that if Boise plays some of those they gona get smashed by at least 10-15 points. is that right?

                                              The reason they show up in the big games is because they only have 1 or 2 a year. Its not hard to get the adrenaline pumping for 1 game, I'd like to see them do it to Bama, Florida, Georgia, Auburn, Arkansas is consecutive weeks

                                                There shouldn't even be any discussion to this. I hate seeing their record against high ranked teams because that is their only big game of each season. If they were in the SEC they would play VT and then turn around and play at BAMA, then LSU, then Auburn, and so on. They would be a 7-5 team much like Arkansas and Ole Miss. They would not win an SEC championship for at least 10 years and wouldn't even be looking at a national championship.

                                                  If Pettis doesn't sell that hit out of bounds by acting like he got shot by a cannon, then I don't think they score anyways and all this Nat'l Champ Game talk is out the window

I hate seeing their record against high ranked teams because that is their only big game of each season. If they were in the SEC they would play VT and then turn around and play at BAMA, then LSU, then Auburn, and so on. They would be a 7-5 team much like Arkansas and Ole Miss. They would not win an SEC championship for at least 10 years and wouldn't even be looking at a national championship.
                                                    Finally, a voice of reason!

                                                        My take is that Boise will never compete for the SEC talent because of the location. It's easier to beat Top Ten teams when you have a month+ to prepare! All that everyone would like to see is these teams have to be up for, say Arkansas's schedule, sometimes!

                                                          Exactly. Its like having a bunch of scrimmages all year just to prepare for one or two games. All you have to do is put Alabama, Florida, or any other top SEC school in the place of Boise in their schedule and just picture the lines for them all. I would say -30 at least for all of them, well, maybe -20 for the Oregon St. game.

                                                            Ur basically saying that if Boise plays some of those they gona get smashed by at least 10-15 points. is that right?
                                                            i know enough about sports to be profitable and discuss it inteligently, you? And yes, 9 times out of 10 they will get beat by double digits in a BCS game.

                                                              If you play top ten teams, you are goin to feel the wounds of being hit. THose 5 games were spread out over time. They played one team per season. Boise team, like queers, gets ready for the big boys. I got more respect for IDaho which actually has a tougher scheudule than boise st. Idaho is not afraid of the big boys and plays at 8th ranked nebraska this weekend. Its a shame that boise st would not want to play at nebraska. I have even more respect for san jose st who will play anyone anywhere. San Jose st opened the season at #1 alabama and plays at #12 wisconsin next week. Even though san jose st is pummeled this week at wisconsin, they are not afraid of the big boys like fagits at boise st. Boise st should play like Pat HIll's Fresno State team. PLay anyone anywhere. THis is how you become a better team. Boise St has the most difficult non-conference game against Toledo. Toledo is total garbage. Boise st AD what the fuc are you doin scheduling a piece of shit team like Toledo at home. THat is non-conference game and they should really be playing a top 25 team instead. And Boise st has 6 home games, 5 away games and a game at a neutral site. There are teams in these weak as conferences that are playing tougher compeititon tha n Boise st. Just take a look at Wyoming and who they play. Wyoming plays at #5 TEXAS week, at #6 TCU and at BYU later this season. I just cannot wait til the 2011 season when Boise has to play the likes of TCU, Utah, BYU and air force. Boise st needs to play much better non-conference teams in 2011. Otherwise, they will never be able to win a bcs championship.

                                                                    Playing in the SEC, BIG 10/12 for a whole year is what Boise St doesn't have to do.
                                                                    When you only have to get up for 2-3 games a year it's a huge difference and the competition is so weak in the other games you can rest and have a down day and still win. In the big boy conferences you don't get to slack up but maybe 1-2 games at most in conference, because if you do, you lose.

                                                                    That's the only difference is Boise St has never been tested week in and week out.
                                                                    They already get most of their recruits out of California to begin with.
                                                                    Who knows what their depth is like past the starters.
                                                                    This argument is like a bad headache it just won't go away until they are in a real conference.
                                                                    Being able to game play for 1-3 real games a year is easy, the week in and out grind is what makes it easy for Boise St to get up for the occasional big game without being black and blue from a BCS conference schedule.

                                                                    So the argument is mute. We all know they can hang for a game, but in a top BCS conference it would be like nite and day.

However, that being said i don't think they could hold up to the beating and physicality of the SEC schedule week in and week out in conference play and be undefeated. If Boise was in the SEC West they would probably be the 3rd best team at the end of the year with what they currently have, but at the same time think for just one game a winner take all they can beat anybody and they have proved it time and time again when given the opportunity.
                                                                      This post is spot on. The team they have presently would not be able to stand up to the week in week out beatings that go on in the SEC. In all actuality ANY good/great team that does not take that pounding over a season has a good chance of beating an SEC school on a given night at the end of the year.

                                                                      It is my opinion that other conferences just do not grind up players over the course of an in-conference schedule like the SEC does. Of course, opinions will vary. . .
