if boise makes the title game, it will really suck.
-
Hell, if Boise wins tonight, we may well see a Boise/TCU MNC game!! :runaway:
-
I have really grown to dislike Boise, especially the goofy looking QB. Maybe LaGarrette can falcon punch out Moore's ginourmus horse teeth.
-
the college football system is a joke. so who cares who makes the title game?
just enjoy the game. tia
-
Boise vs. TCU could be just the ticket for forcing playoffs.

Yeah. They remind me a little too much of what UTSA is trying to be. A glorified community college with a douchebag bandwagon-centric fanbase that is comprised of maybe 25% of people who actually graduated from there.
-
I'd rather see Boise or TCU in the NC than OSU, Bama, Texas, etc. Would love to see TCU get totally raped though, or whatever scenerio it takes to get Patterson here.
-
Daniel Thomas vs Boise State :runaway:
-
Would love to see Boise State in the MNC.
-
Va Tech's QB is the suck.
-
Boise's unis! :love: Especially the logo on one side of the helmets!
-
Don't get the Boise hate. What more do they have to do to legitimize their program? If they go to the nat'l championship this year, it will be because of how dominant they've been over the last three years, imo.
-

Wow. Boise is on the cusp of their "1998" happening in their first game of the season. Man, how do you come back from that, if that's how this plays out?
-
I'd love to see boise run the table. they look tired though.

despite the other faults of the system, you cannot emphasize how much easier it is for boise to get to the title game than it is for any other contender. with two exceptions, their entire season consists of playing LHC Bill Snyder style cupcakes.

Boise's ONLY credential for being the title game at the end of the year is that they started the year ranked at #3. That's it.
-
Boise looks very cheaty. Late hits, lots of cut blocks and shoving. any time Va Tech strings together several good plays, a BSU player goes down with an "injury" to give them a breather.
in other words, elite.
-

Yeah but you also have to remember that if Boise wasn't ranked #3 to start the season, they have no shot. Without a season like last year and really the year before that for Boise, they're not ranked number 3. If they go to the national title game, it will be because of 2 straight years of perfect football. In other words, they will need to win 24 straight to win the national title, and of those 24, TCU, Oregon, Oregon State, Virginia Tech and whoever they play in the nat'l championship will have been their opponents. That's impressive and national title worthy.

Good thing Va Tech is putting that debate to bed.

I get that they have an argument for "earning" the preseason #3 ranking, but they won't EARN it on the field this year unless they win this game. It's not a year over year thing.

I agree.

i'm starting to understand the 1998 comparison now. this year is the only chance boise will ever get. literally now or never.

I don't think you will hear them say much about playing for the MNC if they don't win this game tonight.
-

Yep...this game...this moment, is EVERYTHING for them.
-
It means everything
-
I would have a massive ulcer if I was at this game.
-
Well, regardless of if you like Va Tech or Boise, you still have to admit this is one hell of a game.
-
VaT pee'd their pants.
-
Officials gave Boise about 45 yards on that last drive.
-
Love Boise, f_ck the haters.
Who do they have to beat now to prove they're worthy?? OU . . . oh wait, they did that. Oregon . . . oh wait, they did that. TCU . . . you know the formidable Gary Patterson/Dick Bumpas defense (Dick Bumpas :lol:) . . . they did that. Virginia Tech in front of 78,000 VT fans . . . they did that.
-
Congrats to Boise State on making the National Championship Game!
Now, who is the other team that gets to make the National Championship Game???? Do we have to wait another week? :ohno:
-

Don't be a rough ridin' Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!). It's THIS season. This one. If we are playing for all half-decade championships, they have to stand in rough ridin' line behind quite a few other teams.
-
Made me sad, I need to go re-watch highlights of the 1st 11 1998 games.
-
Still think that if florida/bama and texas/oklahoma run the table Boise is on the outside looking in. I could see a huge let down loss to OSU coming up but they have beat everyone who has been put in front of them.

Oregon State is a mid-level Pac-10 team. TCU is stroking themselves over that win as well.

I'm gonna lol when they lose to Utah State at home on Dec 4th

Mods? Can we move the Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) "Boise is awesome" comment to daris' thread on stupid chairback talking points?

I don't think it's just those four teams. There are quite a few major conference teams that would jump them if they go undefeated. Va Tech is solid, but not elite, and this was a nailbiter.
And every single voter in the country watched this game and knows it.
-

If any two BCS teams go undefeated they should trump an undefeated Boise team, otherwise, I say give'em a shot.
-
Boise would beat the current K-State team by 4 TD's and that's after they called off the dogs with 15 minutes left.
That game tonight made UCLA vs K-State look like it was played in quick sand and everybody on the field in Manhattan had lead boots on.
-
Boise would beat the current K-State team by 4 TD's and that's after they called off the dogs with 15 minutes left.
There are at least 20 teams that would beat us by 4TD's.
-
Half the big 12 could beat us by 4 TDs
-
I was being nice . . . don't want to see jt or Daris have another meltdown.
In reality, think Texas Tech last year . . . and then some.
-
So is Nebraska going to beat us by at least 4 TDs considering they're ranked in front of Va Tech? :blindfold:
-
Seems like Oregon State is a bit better than a mid-level Pac 10 team. That conference is not very good this year.
-
The number of teams that would crush us is hardly relevant to the worthiness of Boise for the national championship game....which they basically locked up by winning 1 mother rough ridin' game.
-

If the national title should go to whomever can kick our ass in, you will need a big plaque on that trophy for all the names.
-
Does anyone else find it comical that they keep repeating: "Boise State has a very good shot at the NC because they started at #3 in the poll" when the only poll that puts them at #3 is the poll that doesn't allow their rankings to be used in the BCS formula?
-
Not really the point. Just laughing at all the haters. They just traveled 2000 miles and beat the #10 team in the country in what was basically a home game for VT. They've won 2 BCS bowls in the last 4 years. Many of the tards on here love all over Gary Patterson and TCU . . . well Boise beat them in a BCS bowl last year. Boise is now 5-1 in the last 4 years under Peterson against BCS schools. That's wins over Oregon (twice), Oregon State, Oklahoma, and Virginia Tech.
-

Texas plays KSU this year.
-
I imagine this win will bump Boise ahead of Florida. Plus, the media is all gaga over Boise and TCU this year so that may help things.

In 2007, Ron Prince went down to Texas and stomped the top 10 Longhorns 41-21. How is that not more impressive than what Boise St. just did? They didn't stomp anything!
If RP had the Boise St. schedule that year, he would now be the head coach at either USC or the Washington Redskins. <-- See Dan Hawkins

Maybe they are the best team in the country. Regardless, relative to every other contender, they don't have to do jack crap in order to make the title game this year. No team should have it so easy. Not Texas. Not Ohio State. Not Boise State.
-
I always figured it would a BYU, Utah or TCU that was the first non AQ to reach the MNC. If you schedule like 3 tough noncon games against ranked foes and then run the MWC, you probably deserve a shot at the championship, provided there is only one other undefeated team. You gotta play 5 or 6 ranked teams (at least) to be worthy of consideration. A high early ranking and one or 2 quality wins probably doesn't cut it.

who cares? it's all subjective. "that's what makes college football so great" :jerk: professional wrestling has more integrity when it comes to 'deciding' who gets to wear the belt.
-

Dumb point. In the last 5 years K-State has beaten Texas (twice), Oklahoma St., Missouri, and UCLA. We should be at least BCS game contenders right :dunno:
The thing that makes college football so great is supposed to be a regular season where every game is a playoff, but i have never seen a legitimate playoff where you play teams that have half your talent in every round except maybe the first game. Until Boise can beat more than two top 25 teams in a season they have no place in the national title game. Btw, the last two national champions beat 6 ranked teams during their championship seasons, respectively. Oh, and the teams they played those national title games, Texas and Oklahoma, on average beat 5 ranked teams during their runs to the national title game
-
Damn, I was pretty damn right on with my 5 or 6 wins over ranked teams post. I hadn't actually done any research, just felt like good numbers to me. Woot!
-
Don't get the Boise hate. What more do they have to do to legitimize their program?
This.
I don't get it either. It's not their fault they play in a crap conference. They actually scheduled two top 20 teams this year, and you know so many people want to play them. The BCS has screwed them(and other teams) since the beginning. And now it finally swings their way, and everyone throws a crap fit?? Fine by me.
-

I find it more comical that you don't know that the AP awards a national championship and has done so since 19fucking47.
To the larger point, I have no idea how anyone could have watched Boise tonight and didn't think that they are one of the best teams in the country. That alone makes any potential national championship consideration very legit. Lets drop the BS talk about whether or not they deserve it, at least half of the teams that have played for this thing in out lifetimes weren't universally known as one of the two best teams that played for the title that season.
This system has routinely had teams that have lost playing for a championship, teams that weren't the best team in their conference playing for it, hell even a team that didn't win their DIVISION played for a title. If Boise played in the BCS Championship game and lost by 45 they still wouldn't be one of the top 5 worst teams since the inception of the BCS to play for a title. To single Boise out is shortsighted and dumb. Who cares whether or not they earned it when most who have played for it haven't? The rules are literally made to exclude them, if they were to get an invite despite that why would anyone bitch about their worthiness :dunno:
-
Heard a guy on ESPN radio today say that the people who complain about Boise and TCU not playing anybody are actually fans of schools that refuse to schedule those teams. Up until recently (last 3 years or so) playing TCU, UtahN Boise, etc was a lose/lose proposition for the big boys of college football. You think Bama wants any part of Boise this year? I love seeing teams that are outside the traditional "boys club" of college football enjoy success. We were that for a while. I would never try to take that away from another school. (Minus the 1998 ass rape part, I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.)

i love boise. they don't deserve the title game. pretty complex concept, huh?
i don't think people understand how easy their schedule truly is. in their conference, they play the teams that snyder has always scheduled for automatic noncon w's.
some are also acting like beating va tech is beating one of the top teams in the country. it probably isn't.
-
I want them to play for it. Then I want them to lose.
-
How has K-State done the last couple of times out against Fresno State?? Hey, was that Fresno State I saw breaking Cinncy's 18 (or something like that) game regular season winning streak on Saturday??
Next year Boise moves to the MWC. Given their recent history, I can't imagine Boise is having much luck getting many BCS schools to play them. How fast do you think the phone would be hung up on the K-State side if Boise called Snyder and tried to schedule K-State??
Everyone with a clue knows that Peterson was the brains behind Dan Hawkins, that's why Hawkins and CU tried so hard to get Peterson to CU as the OC.
So what if Ron Prince put all of his eggs into one basket and threw everything and the kitchen sink at beating Texas. Boise State would have taken 10 out of 10 from a Ron Prince coached team.
-
I hate Boise because 1998 cut me so deep, that if we aren't the small school underdog to win in our only shot in the history of earth, I don't want anyone to win it.
-
So what if Ron Prince put all of his eggs into one basket and threw everything and the kitchen sink at beating Texas. Boise State would have taken 10 out of 10 from a Ron Prince coached team.
Boise St. just threw all their eggs into one basket and threw everything and the kitchen sink at beating Virginia Tech.
Now they get to play completely vanilla for the rest of the season and put nothing on tape while they practice all sorts of crazy crap like Statue of Liberty plays that they can unleash on Bama in January. Is that fair?
I watched the game last night. Va Tech is not the best team in the nation and Boise was very, very lucky to win.
-
Congrats to Boise State on making the National Championship Game!
Now, who is the other team that gets to make the National Championship Game???? Do we have to wait another week? :ohno:
ESPN told me Ohio State is going to play Boise in the NC game, and Terrell Pryor already has the Heisman locked up
-
I want them to play for it. Then I want them to lose.
This. All these arguments are actually in favor of a playoff, not Boise deserving a shot.

Who said VT was the best team in the country??
Let me ask you this IRA, if Boise who was 14-0 last year, had K-State's schedule last year, what would their record have been??? I say they roll into the Big 12 title game undefeated. They absolutely destroy the Big 12 North, that's for certain.

So? Texas played 0 top 10 teams on the road, at home, or on a neutral site last year. Did they have all year to work on trick plays? Notice people bitching about Boise never talk about how they look on the field. When you say crap like "very lucky to win" it seems like you aren't interested in having a serious conversation. What the help does that even mean?
-
They absolutely destroy the Big 12 North, that's for certain.
This is a reasonable standard for any national champion.
