    They will get recognition and possibly a chance at a title game. Schedule an SEC team mid season, womp on them, you're in. Oregon win was a nice start though, bizarre how an Oregon team that lost to them is in a BCS game but B ST more than likely will not be.

    hard not to feel bad for Boise at this point... they continue to slay Giants...but not to the satisfaction of the masses....


    next year if its not too late, schedule two giants.....I doubt they can find two though

        Deuce wake up. No one wants to play them. Teams are scared to play them because it can only hurt them. Boise would play tougher teams if given a chance.

            I wish more teams would. I am getting sick of hearing how great they are year after year. Come on big boys, play them regular season.

                Boise St. vs. TCU would be epic.

                I would really like to see these teams get their chance. I think TCU vs. Bama would be a solid game. Texas I believe would get smoked by TCU personally, I think TCU's offense is way too much for Texas.

                  TCU/Boise played last year. TCU dominated and they'll do so again this season.

                    Here is the problem so many teams schedule so far out...that Boise is left trying to get people to contract games when they already have a game schedule.

                    Boise St wanted Iowa to do 3 games at Kinnick for 2 games at Boise... But why would Iowa do this? This was back when Missouri cancelled there contract... Iowa put UNI on the schedule and kept the money in state. I honestly, think Iowa will continue to schedule UNI as long as they play well, its a great recruiting tool for UNI as well, so everyone wins.

                    Boise had offers, when they though they were king of the world to play here 1 way trips but they were too good for that, now that they can't find someone they keep brag'n about one way no return trip we'll play anyone. Make them play 2 really physical teams in a row and see how they stack up. Boise St... Doesn't play anyone and Iowa will embarass them just watch if they get in the Fiesta...

                      Teams don't want to play against Boise. If they win, people will say they should have won. If they lose, the get knocked down in the rankings. The Boise coach has already offered to visit ANY team.

                          Just to add a little to this Boise fans are getting frustrated that their team wins the WAC and but is 1-4 in their last 5 bowl appearances. Playing a tougher schedule, early, will give them a chance to see where they can improve. You can't see where you are weak against NMSU.

                            Name the last non-conference team that Florida played on the road outside the state of Flotida ?

                            In the regular season , not a bowl game.

                              The way the BCS is set up it is to no advantage to someone to play Boise St. BCS is set up to guarantee the national championship is decided by BCS teams.

                                No one wants to play Bosie. What SEC school wants to go to Bosie and play an SEC schedule too. Most schools shedule hoem and aways. Bosie is going to only get aways, and even that is difficult. The other schools have nothing to gain by playing Bosie.

                                          TCU I just seen in favored by 8 points. I am probably going lean on taking TCU in this game. I like it that two teams unbeaten gets to play each other. I like that.

                                            Given they are both small schools, I hate it!



                                            I am torn on BSU...I think at first they were pretty high and mighty about their schedule...as in they only wanted two game home and home series...

                                            Big Schools said FU. we aint playing on that blue turf...whereas teams like Fresno State said: "We will play anyone, anywhere!

                                            So, it really was a lose, lose for these big schools to play Boise...Now that we know Boise is good - that might change things a little, but the best way to get to a championship game for most big schools in most years is not to lose a game so...Why play Boise?

                                            I am not sure if Boise still requires the home and home series.

                                              He's right, Boise St. has tried plenty of times. Nobody will play them, they have no reason to. There's nothing in it for the big name.

                                                TCU should win, they are underrated as high as they are rated already. Boise is good but TCU should pull it out

                                                  do you really think a team like Alabama, Florida, or Texas wants to play a team like Boise State when they don't have to? Boise needs to play strong teams, but strong teams don't need to or want to play Boise.

                                                    I know there's plenty of teams who'd play Boise on their home field, IF a return game at boise or a fat paycheck for boise was not required ... sometimes if your the little school trying to earn respect you've got to take their deal if your ultimate goal is just to get the shot at beating them but instead boise seems to prefer to be content just tacking on the extra touchdown to cover their usual spread of 35 against lesser teams ... I blame boise more than most people do

                                                      Uhhh incase you're wondering UGA played Boise State.. It was 2005 right after Greene left and having to go with inexperienced Shockley. UGA was up 38-0 with the final being 48-13.

                                                      UGA also dismantled Hawaii in the 2008 Sugar Bowl

                                                      Sure a team can beat any team on a given day but to think Cincy, TCU, or Boise belong in the Championship game is absurd. Especially when you have two teams from the SEC and Big 12 that are undefeated. Give me a break.

                                                        who are you kidding? do you know how much money Boise loses if they don;t get a BCS game?

                                                                    But it is highly unlikely to continue, once there is a change of coaches, AD, etc that does not go well.

                                                                    No history or tradition like USC, Ala, Fla, GA, Penn St, ND, LSU, Texas, Okl, etc. They can overcome a bad coach along the line.

                                                                    Boise cannot. Nor can TCU for that matter. Then no one will start threads like this again on the matter.

By comparison, Texas, who is in the NC game plays at Rice, and at home against Wyoming, UCLA, and Florida Atlantic. Alabama plays Penn State, but also plays Duke, San Joe State, and Georgia State. So the problem is not the non-con games. The problem is that Boise State does not have an OU, or a Florida in their conference. Unless the WAC, as a whole, improves drastically, Boise State will never play in the NC game.
