What would give TCU and Boise state cred

is if they schedule all of their OCC games against the SEC. Have yourself a pseudo SEC run so to speak.

since their conference schedule is so weak, the only way i give them cred is if they schedule at LEAST 3 top 25 ooc opponents. and not the #24 guys. schedule some top 10 guys, damnit. fsu did it yrs ago and got them on the map. they refuse to schedule a top team unless it's a home and home. i call bull shite. get your rep. schedule lsu in baton rouge, bama in tuscaloosa, osu in columbus. texas in austin. they want the reward w/o paying the price. pussies.
to add that THEY are calling foul because the big boys won't play them at their house where it would cost us millions of dollars to do that. if they want the gold they should have to step up and do what it takes. usl passed the hat some yrs back when they made a push for cred. played okie lite and i think auburn. they guaranteed those teams lots of bucks and those teams came to lafayette. screw this socialism crap they're talking about; going to use lawyers to get them to the nc.

It'll show them how hard the SEC is and if they go 24-0, then maybe.

I would think that if they would schedule their hardest games in a row that would help. For instance this year if they would have played
VT, Oregon State and Nevada back to back to back that would help. Instead this is how it went.
VT then a bye week. 2 weeks later OSU and then NOTHING for 8 Weeks. They can control their schedule and if they did this then it might help. Instead they just want to beat their chest and say no one will play us.

They need to fill up their non-conference schedule with as many top-notch opponents as possible. In 1981, Bobby Bowden played these five opponents on the road: Nebraska, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh and LSU ALL IN A ROW. That's how you get respect. There should never be any FCS schools on the schedule even if they are your alma mater, Chris Petersen I'm looking at you.
Boise State seems to be coming around on the issue a little bit by refusing to continue their series with pitiful in-state rival Idaho unless it's a one time thing every couple years that's played on the blue turf. They're basically telling them to frick off. Good for them.
As for TCU, if they receive an all-sports invite to the Big East, the Horned Frogs should jump without a second thought. If they don't, TCU should never bitch about not receiving a fair shot ever again.

Two step process. In this order:
1.) Win the WAC.
2.) Win all the playoff games.
(they won't be "legit" until a playoff is in place)
if they get in the championship now, fans of big conferences will complain.
if they dont get in the championship now, Boise fans will complain.
They only way to settle it is on a field, between the lines.

If only you knew what you are talking about.
How about at Oklahoma twice and at Texas twice (UT backed out this year) neither with expected home and homes.
Or Standford home and home
or future LSU and Arky confirmed away games with TBA neutral site games.
TCU will play anyone anywhere anytime they are far from the pussies the ill informed and mis spoken critics claim.

The difference is, Boise has 100,000 or so fans, casual CFB followers and the "blow up the BCS followers".
The big conferences have millions of fans that carry CFB.
If Boise St plays TCU in the BCSCG, I think it will be the least watched BCSCG in 15 years.
But that is a proponent in and of itself for a playoff.

TCU could easily schedule anyone in the nation. They just need to agree that their "Home" game be at the Death Star. That way teams wouldn't lose millions to play them. If they scheduled 2 of Bama/LSU/Ohio State/Florida/Texas/Oregon in a year and won, they'd have a case.

Nothing.
I will admit they can possibly beat a team in the MNC game that has been beat up by tough schedule all year while Boise can rest players all year due to their pansy schedule.
They simply don't deserve even a shot. Nor did Tulane in 98 when I don't seem to recall anyone was clamoring for them to be in the picture.
This is all about a playoff and the media wanting a playoff. None of those idiots actually believe Boise or TCU could go undefeated in any of the major conferences.

The MWC needs to become part of the BCS. Then, since they have the 'branding' from being an AQ conference, the exact same joke schedule suddenly becomes legitimate.
See the Pac-1.

That is not what ESPN is telling BSU and TCU but We all know the truth.

I work with a guy who was the starting corner for that team and he doesn't even think BSU or TCU deserve to be in the National Championship Game.

Yeah, I don't think the schedule problem is geared so much towards TCU as it is to Boise. Boise hasn't even made an effort. You can't just expect teams like tOSU, Texas, Bama, LSU, etc to up and come play in Bumfrick, Idaho. Schedule some top-tier programs on the road, back-to-back-to-back and see how well your team can get through the rigors of a schedule teams in the Big X and SEC play. Until they do that, they're going to keep taking a backseat to other top teams in regards to the NCG.

Who wouldn't watch the title game? Would you really not watch strictly out of protest?

I wouldn't. It would be like ULM playing ULL.

I watch the New Orleans Bowl...if football is on, especially the title game, I'm watching.

In fact, is it possible there would be just as many if not more households watching? What I mean is you wouldn't have as many big get togethers/parties to watch, but guys would still watch the game.
