Boise and Utah are the only two teams to go undefeated twice in the BCS era.

In 2007 there were 6 teams with records as good or better than LSU. Based on the logic in this thread all 7 should have shared the NC.



Are you reading the same thread as the rest of us?

Boise St either needs to join the Mountain West or the Pac 10 before they can be given a shot to play for the nc



The Pac 10 needs to add 2 teams and become the Pac 12 and have a championship game.

Im tired of the no one will play Boise shite. They played Georgia a couple of years ago and Georgia kicked the shite outta them

the OU and Bama teams they beat didn't really suck. BSU's win over OU was fluky, but Utah kicked the shite out of Bama

Yes, but it doesn't appear the website has been updated since October. I guess they finally gave up.

Yeah, but their other 12 games were against very shitty teams. Let them play the same schedule as Alabama and Texas and they MIGHT not even be a .500 team.

Every Boise State deserves a shot at being the National Champion.
The 1995 NCAA Basketball National Champion Villanova Wildcats had no chance against Georgetown but won the game by playing near perfect basketball to win the NC. It the tournament had not been expanded to 64 teams that year Villanova probably would not have made the tournament.

I'm just saying the kids and coaches representing a perfect record deserve a shot. The NCAA needs to fix this. And of course if you are in the NC game you don't care, you just want to win the game cause your team is there.

bullshite. You can't play that schedule and be considered for the national championship. Even if Alabama and Texas both had 1 loss they shouldn't be considered.


The truth is a lot of your major BCS teams are too scared to play teams like Boise. They would rather sit on their reputation as being a big name/superior football power.

Explain how playing a tougher schedule automatically makes you a better team. Does a team that plays in the toughest division or conference in the NFL always win the Super Bowl? No! There's no reason the best team in the country can't be in a weaker conference. But the schools with the money and power control the BCS so we'll never really know.

At some point the NCAA and BCS committee will have to recognize BSU if they keep winning...but this year...no they don't...they did nothing to prove they were better than the number 1 or number 2 ranked team...sometimes this is just the way the cookie crumbles...trust me, as an Auburn fan I know...


I disagree with this. Boise beat the PAC 10 champion and the Sun Belt champion. Their 2 best wins were as good as anyone in the country.

Here is the Texas schedule:

Sep. 5 La.-Monroe W 59-20
Sep. 12 at Wyoming W 41-10
Sep. 19 Texas Tech W 34-24
Sep. 26 Texas-El Paso W 64-7
Oct. 10 Colorado W 38-14
Oct. 17 Oklahoma W 16-13
Oct. 24 at Missouri W 41-7
Oct. 31 at OK State W 41-14
Nov. 7 UCF W 35-3
Nov. 14 at Baylor W 47-14
Nov. 21 Kansas W 51-20
Nov. 26 at Texas A&M W 49-39
Dec. 5 at Nebraska W 13-12
Jan. 7 at Alabama 7:00pm

There really didn't beat a good team all year. That doesn't mean they aren't a great team but with OU down, they had no big games. Nebraska, Oklahoma State, and Texas Tech were the best teams they played and they all had 4 losses and weren't good teams. Their out of conference schedule was a joke.

If Texas earned a shot to play for the championship, then so has Boise.

The major difference is this isn't the NFL. The worst NFL team would beat the best college football team 10 out of 10 times. Yes, even Alabama this year. The Lions or Bucs would beat them.

Same excuses with same out come. Boise, Utah, BYU and TCU can play with anyone. Period! I have just excepted the fact that the "big boys" just dont want to share the money. It is just the way it is. :beatdeadhorse:

so why should a team that plays in a real conference and plays more top 25 teams and earns their way in should have to sit out because Boise plays shite all year. You dont see how that is an advantage? a playoff would be the same thing another team with one loss but played much more difficult teams would have gotten left out because of Boise and their weak schedule. There has to be an objectionable measurable to figure the playoff teams. NFL and CFB not the same there are only 32 NFL teams so you can bet there are 2/3 difficult games even if their division is crap.

The national championship should go to the best team in the country, not to the team that played the toughest schedule. Just because you played a tougher svhedule (and that's very subjective anyway) doesn't mean you're the better team. Utah proved that to Bama last year.

Can we say without a doubt Utah wouldn't have beaten Florida last year in a title game? That's my point. And who suffers? The players and fans.
