Where do they belong? Add to that they beat the current #1 and current #3 within in the past 12 months


Boise has played 4 ranked teams in the regular season in the last 8 years.

When the analyst are talking about tough games, and they say, "Auburn travels to Alabama, and Boise travels to Nevada" in the same breath, that is very laughable.

A Nevada team that is top 25 and a rivalry game. I say that will be a big game for both, since it also is for a possible BCS game and Conference Championship.

Auburn could lose the game and still go to a BCS game, so Nevada-Boise is a bigger tougher game IMO.

Not to people who have seen them all play or the computers.

I know it sucks that Boise doesn't play anybody, but they are far from garbage. This is not the same Boise from 2005 that go stomped by UGA.

They have some NFL talent, and I would venture to say they would easily beat the bottom 6 SEC teams.

Their line is questionable at best b/c they sacrifice so much size for speed, but they're impressive any way you slice it.

Beating Fresno 51-0 is damn impressive no matter how you look at it. By the way, Fresno>ULM.

Kellen Moore is a great QB and has great touch on his passes. He has shown he can put zip when needed, but the fact remains that he throws a very catchable ball. Even against the tougher opponents like Va Tech or TCU or Oregon, he looked pretty good.

They should schedule all 4 BCS teams for their OOC games if they want serious consideration.
