How incredible was Boise State’s run circa 2006-12?

Let’s be clear. They suck shite now, and Avalos is arse. With that said, I feel like their run was something that shouldn’t have happened, had no reason to happen, and was quite real.
They were an outstanding G5-type (whatever it was back then) under Hawkins, but flipped a switch with Petersen. I want to say that the pollsters were crazy for even having BSU in the mix as a natty caliber team, but when they took their shots at Oregon, Oregon State, VT, and Georgia, they won.
I wouldn’t put the improbable success on the level of a North Dakota State, but it’s crazy that a “program” took hold in fricking Boise.

I am guessing Auburn went after BSU HC Bryan Harsin thinking he is the real deal.

Peterson and Harsin were able to do great things there (Harsin more so just keeping it from imploding like it has now apparently).

That Fiesta Bowl win over Oklahoma was one of the greatest bowl games ever
What a run for Boise

Wasn't this board all up in a tizzy rooting for them to lose every week?
Pat Hill's run at Fresno State was pretty impressive too.
Considering most of the nation hadn't heard of Fresno State.

You can make a good case that they were 2 fluke plays from playing for a national championship in 2010 (Mark Ingram’s fumble in the Iron Bowl when Bama was up 21-0, Kyle Brotzman’s missed 26-yard field goal) against an Oregon team they swept in a home-and-home over the prior two seasons.

I've always wondered what the percentage of people is that know Houston Nutt coached at Boise State.

Their cupcake schedule helped them a lot

Noise State Oklahoma bowl game is a top 5 bowl game all time

They had a couple teams in that run that were legit top 5 teams in America.
Also were producing NFL talent during that stretch. Truly wild.

Never forget, Northwestern State won their last 3 games against Boise, completely ran them out of 1AA

I was pulling hard for Petersen during LSU's recent coaching search. After Miles and Orgeron the program desperately needed a healthy dose of professionalism. I had CP as my #1 and Aranda as my 1A. Of course, Kelly would have been high on that list as well if I had thought he was realistic.
