I'm a Boise fan AND a BCS hater.
With out the BCS no one would even consider Boise St right now, it would be only major programs considered.
I'd love to beat War Illegal in the title game, but I'd love even more for Boise to shut up the Ducks' obnoxious fanbase once and for all. They're still making excuses for their two straight losses to Boise.
War Illegal? Not bad, pretty creative.
I don't think your defense would have a shot in hell at stopping Cam and co. Our DL would have a field day chasing Moore all over the place but he would still throw for 300+ yards.

i'll never understand how you can hate a system that has created the myth surrounding your football team
The only myth that the BCS has created is the myth that all AQ teams are substantially better than all non-AQ teams and are more worthy of the benefit of the doubt.
I just hate the idea of automatic qualifiers as it works today. Even the mere possibility of a shitty school like Vandy having a fluke dominant year and then being handed a far-easier road to a BCS bowl than a non-AQ school that has busted their arse and consistently won is ridiculous.
If you ask me, college football needs a promotion/relegation system like European soccer. Schools like Vanderbilt, Kansas, and Wazzu who never win anything but still collect AQ money should be bumped down to non-AQ status until they get their crap together. On the flipside, schools like Boise State and TCU who consistently win and beat the best should be promoted to AQ.

nobody claims all BCS teams are better than all non-BCS teams. hell BCS teams lost to 1AA opponents, like VTech

well the only part of the BCS that involves automatic qualifiers are exhibition games involving BCS conferences, who, you know, joined to make the system. you can't stop the producers in CFB from trying to produce

the SEC is not a "far easier" road unless about 10 Marshall-style plane crashes occur

why do you care what conferences who have nothing to do with the WAC or MWC decide to do with member schools?

New Mexico State
Toledo
San Jose State
Louisiana Tech
Hawaii
Idaho
Fresno State
In that stretch of games Boise arguably played three of the worst teams in division one this year, two very bad teams, one pretty bad team, and one mediocre team.
I would kill for Auburn to play the schedule that they do and get the kind of love they get for playing that schedule.

This rushing attack is exponentially better than the rushing attacks those two teams feature.

I think I like our passing game over Hawaii's. We never really have to use it because nobody can stop our rushing attack, but when we do it's very effective.

Oh how predictable of the media. Always making such bold predictions. They picked us 4th in the West and they still can't handle that.

for the 378450th time, they win one tough game, one almost tough game, 10 cupcakes, they qualify

What part of "THEY ARE CONTRACTUALLY OBLIGATED TO PLAY THOSE TEAMS" (except Toledo) do you people not understand?
If Boise State had a choice between playing those seven games and playing the top seven AQ schools in a row, they would choose the top seven AQ schools in a heartbeat, let's not pretend that they wouldn't.

It's true that those are tough teams, but when your history of losing gets ignored in an instant because of your AQ status (while consistently-winning non-AQ's get screwed), that's inexcusable. AQ teams should have to prove themselves over a long period of time like the non-AQ's have to do.
Schools like Florida, Alabama, Oklahoma, Ohio State, etc. have all proven themselves. Schools like Oklahoma State, Michigan State, Texas A&M, etc. are beginning to prove themselves. Schools like Vanderbilt, Wazzu, Kansas, etc. have only proven themselves to be losers and total wastes of an AQ spot.

That's not a good point. It doesn't matter how the games appear on the schedule, they are on the schedule. And the thing is, you rank teams based on their resume, and those games make your resume suck.
Sorry for enlightening you about that reality. If Auburn could join the WAC I'd love to play those teams and still get national recognition for doing so.

Did this dude just compare auburn, the #1 team in the country to oregon state (whose terrible) and vt(who lost to a James Madison)? Really?

He compared their offenses, which in itself is laughable.
I'm not sold Auburn doesn't have the best offense in the country. I'll have to wait and see Oregon play some more to figure if that Cal game was just one bad game.

no one wants to play them in that joke of a stadium esp if they can't pay them. Boise is the biggest two faced program about picking and choosing who to play

kind of like how the BCS is a contract among 6 BCS conferences. what part of that contract don't you understand?

Our resume also includes the longest active winning streak in the country, wins against VT, Oregon State, and TCU in 2010, two BCS bowl wins in the past four years, a Heisman candidate at quarterback, and three undefeated seasons in the past five years. Even a middle-of-the-road AQ school with that resume, regardless of schedule, would be given the benefit of the doubt.

Didn't Nebraska want to play Boise and boise wanted a home and home plus a payout?
