Not just this. They have consistently, year in and year out invited BIG teams to come to Boise and play early in the season and NOT ONE of them has accepted because that could very easily be the end of that teams NC dream. If Boise isn't shit, or a consistent 2 loss team in the SEC then the powerhouses of the SEC shouldn't be afraid of little football in Idaho in September, but name teams have repeatedly "taken a pass" at that invite.
And that is what I am talking about. When Boise State has tried to set up games a season ahead big teams duck. No one wants to risk losing to Boise State when they can play Troy or Charleston. Boise asked big teams for a road game, including your mighty Bama for this year and were declined, or ducked. The Tide CHOSE SJSU because they KNEW they would beat them. They chose NOT to play BSU because that prospect was a bit more risky. ESPN did a whole spot on this last season toward the end and outed some of the elite teams that have "Declined" to play Boise State. It's not because the game would be too easy.Yes, it's totally because us fans lack balls, that our teams aren't going to Boise to play them. It has absolutely nothing to do with the fact most schedules are made years in advance, and must include a certain number of conference games. If Alabama fans had any balls at all, we would have demanded that Mal Moore drop San Jose State and play Boise State instead! We've got Duke coming up in a few weeks, maybe if we grow our balls, we can get Mal to drop Duke and schedule BSU then! If we don't do that, we are completely without balls! Sochead has proclaimed it so!
What a fucking idiot, you can't even talk about football without embarrassing yourself.
Last year they opened vs an unranked Virginia Tech in the Georgia Dome which might as well have been a home game. The year before that they played #9 Clemson in the same place, at least that game could be said to be neutral territory and they exposed Clemson 34-10. I am not even saying that Boise could be Bama, I am pretty sure it would have been a better game than the 08 Clemson game. All I am saying is eveyone wants to talk about strength of schedule but none of the elite teams are willing to play Boise, even on their home turf, let alone in Boise. So when Boise wins against a top ten team, then goes the rest of the season undefeated, then they deserve a NC shot. If the elite teams don't like it all they have to do is play Boise State early in the year and knock them out of contention.
Yea....Oregon State....Are they even a top 25 team?
True.....but that changes this weekend.
There about the only SEC team not chicken shit enough to do that.
True, you can't have a national champion by proxy. That's where I disagree with a lot of my fellow Buckeyes. Their talking in Columbus that the only thing that counts is winning the BCSCG. Bull Fucker Nuts. Losing a game in your conference wouldn't matter if you won your conference and go to the National Championship tournament. We'll have one, it's just a matter of the public keeping up the pressure till we get one.
Bull shit. They could easily do a 16 game playoff where each conference champ gets an automatic bid and you'd still have 5 at large bids for the power conferences. The polls would be used for seeding the tournament.
