I think they are very good team but no they won't and don't deserve a shot at the title. I do think they go unbeaten and deserve a BCS slot thou. BSU in the sugar bowl vs the 2nd place SEC team is what I want to see.

Does Boise have any depth? That's very important in the SEC. It's dumb to think all their players would make it unscathed through a season.
Auburn disproved that last year. They were very shallow compared to LSU, Alabama or Florida. Do you remember what happened to them in the Alabama game when two of their defensive starters were suspended for the first half? The Alabama offense looked like it was running a track meet in the first half. The truth is that you don't need depth if you're lucky with injuries. And by the way, both Boise State and TCU lost two starters apiece to early season-ending injuries. Both of TCU's starters were on defense and they still led the nation in total defense.

If they were actually in the SEC they'd have an equal SEC revenue split and would be able to recruit more depth, so the question has to be considered in context.
So this would also applyto Louisiana Tech?
With the 89th biggest budget in college football, Boise State doesn't have any natural advantages over Louisiana Tech or ULL. As a matter of fact, they are at a disadvantage with regards to recruiting since they have to recruit outside of Idaho for 95%of their talent - last year they didn't even recruit Mr. Idaho. Why can't other WAC, Mountain West, Sun Belt or MAC schools duplicate what Boise State does?

It just seems unfair, doesn't it?

Their schedule will likely be a considerably weaker this year than last year, so they will need a lot of help to get into the championship game.

The 4 losses in a row would be because they are so beat up
THIS is what separates the SEC from every other conference schedule.

Won't they always need "help" seeing as they are in a non-AQ conference?

there is a lot of ignorance in this thread lol.
They'd be 9-3 at worst and probably more like 10-2.
Seems like yall aren't watching Boise St play
:kige:
I think they'd easily win the East this year and probably go 9-3/10-2 and finish behind only Bama and LSU in the West. They are a good football team.

It's the amount of help we're talking about. Do they need everyone to lose once, or do they need everyone to lose twice like in 2007? By the way, even teams from AQ conferences need help sometimes, such as Auburn in 2004 and Cincinnati in 2009.

PLAY THE ENTIRE CONFERENCE SCHEDULE and come back and talk shite.
It is about depth and injuries. The SEC is the most physical conference. BSU would be ok for about 5 games. The brutality of the SEC west on D is nothing compared to any other conference. Just Bama, AU and LSU last year would have smoked that arse. You lose your QB somewhere along the way from being beaten to shite from those fast as DEs.
LSU has 315 Dlinemen running 4.5-4.8 40s. Your RB ran a 4.5 40 last year. LSUs CBs last year were both faster than your receivers. When Moore can't get rid of the ball, he can't escape that pressure. No freakin way they average 20 pts per game against that conference.

I think Urban Myer said it best about his undefeated year at Utah.
He said for one game he would have put that team vs. Anyone, however they could not have competed for an entire season in the SEC.

Last year, Gary Patterson said that he believed Boise State and TCU would be title contenders in any conference in the nation except the SEC. He said, "The SEC is a different animal." I've also heard Chris Petersen express similar sentiments.

Huh? That is so overblown.
People in the NFL seem to be able to play a 16 game schedule without citing how "physical" or "beat up" you get despite the NFL being 10 times more physical than the SEC.
It's college football...not boxing. Name me all these SEC players that drop out during the year or lose their QBs because you're playing some form of death rollerball.
Seriously, some of you people are like talking to the oldest living Civil War veteran. You're not special...you don't play different football than the rest of the country...we all recruit from the same nation...everyone gets similar players. Your players don't come from Mars.

Be careful. You're hitting close to home for some of these folks.

quick question...Why does the national media talk about Boise for 2 weeks and counting when they beat Geo on the road, but if an SEC school beats Geo or Miss st on the road, its an afterthought 2 days later?

Because they have to in order to keep them relevant.

Ok, to think that NFL teams don't have a crap ton of injuries a year is amazing. Think about this last year the super bowl champions had a ton of people injured.
I will give you this, even Dan Mullen told his team during the game, "Don't get overwhelmed by their speed when talking about LSU during the game ".
You have to be deep to survive in the NFL or the SEC. I think Boise could go toe to toe with Any team in the SEC for 1 week, but they couldn't survive LSU's schedule, or many of the sec's schedules. FYI only one team a season survives An SEC schedule.

Because beating a conference opponent is a non-story unless both teams are ranked in the top five.
