If Boise wins...

[___ Eats It]

That was one of the best games I ever watched...

[Bull Dozer]

A split NC?! Man, that might just be the straw that breaks the camels back. But there is about a zero percent chance of that happening.

what if fl wins

13-1 FL  vs 13-0 boise state

undefeated team no NC sad

cinderella left at the alter!

congress will demand a playoff! ;D

Hi im the 2004 Utah team we didnt get a shot either, like short fence get over it.

No there will be no controversy here as BSU is not in a BCS conference and didnt have a better total body of work as the rest of the BCS teams.  On any given day in college football upsets can happen but to say a team that had to play a Mac regular season schedule has just as strong of a case as a team like UF, UL, or even USC is just ludacris.  

[MikeG]

perhaps if we start 10 new threads about it containing the exact same thought, they will suddenly see that BSU deserves to be #2 or share a NC  : --- give it a rest 96 . It was one game

you are ludacris.  they beat oregon state, hawaii, and oklahoma.  3 ranked teams at season's end.  oh, and it's the wac, not the mac.  the 3-1 wac in bowl games.

Ludacris is a rapper. Ludicrous is an adjective.

Sorry about the typo (mac/wac) but honeslty its a total body of work and you cant tell me that a WAC regular season schedule is just as hard as a SEC, Big East, Big 10, ACC schedule.  The beat a team from a SERIOUSLY DOWN big 12 this year, we didnt see a huge out cry when Utah went undefeated and didnt sniff a NC so why is this any different.

With a SOS 90+ I find it hard to believe that the AP will rank them at #1.

I can only see a "split" decision in the computer polls... but, only a statistics nerd like me prefers/accepts the computer polls.

[Bull Dozer]

According to the NCAA they have the 50th ranked SOS.  

Other "contenders"

UF 1st

UL 22nd

OSU 26th

I mean seriously its a great feel good story but to say they are a contender and have a serious beef for a NC doesnt make sense.  

[Mag Pie]

I feel like USF won--only because there are so many **** threads on this.  Personally I wanted Boise St. to lose.  I still don't think they're a top 10 team in the country.  Big deal, they beat Oklahoma, we beat WV, UCLA beat USC, and there are more countless upsets this year.  Yes it was an upset, but to talk about them splitting a national championship is just crazy.  I would love for BSU to play in a BCS conference, let's see if they could pull off an undefeated season.

ok, and they "only" scheduled oregon state, so it's half their fault.  i'm just saying they deserve a shot with a playoff.  they did win every game they played.  utah did the same.  a playoff also eliminates the chance of a split title, which happened just a few years ago.  wisconsin didnt play a hard schedule either but they beat arkansas...so...whatever.  wisconsin only lost 1 game, they are better than usc and i think it would be exciting to see them get a shot too, but oh well.

boise beat oregon state, oregon state beat usc and was 3rd in the pac-10.  they got punished for the conference schedule all year and had they lost JUST ONE game they would not have been close to a BCS game.  and yet they beat oklahoma and proved they are at least as good as them because they dominated until late.  and even when they gave the game away they took it back.  why don't undefeated non-BCS teams deserve a chance?  so what they probably arent quite as good.  clearly they are good enough to compete with the best.  march madness proves the tournament system is awesome.

i think the playoff gives undefeated teams a chance, eliminates a playoff, and eliminates the luck and human voting determining who gets to play for the title (even though they'd still determine the 8 to go to the playoff, which is better).  

all i am saying, is give boise a chance.
