Is Boise St. the real deal?

[DragonFire]

Boise State looked like real contenders in the first quarter. Not so much since.

[SvFan4life]

Let's see them contend for about 4 or 5 years then we'll talk.

The beat Oklahoma in '07, so they've been contending for 3+ years.

No.

Boise State beat Oklahoma in the 2006 season.

 

Number of ranked teams Boise State played in season, excluding bowl game.

 

2006- 0

2007- 0

2008- 1 ( #17 Oregon) + #11 TCU in Bowl Game

2009- 1 ( #16 Oregon) + #4 TCU in Bowl Game

2010- 2 ( #10 VT, #24 Oregon State)

 

 

Not exactly contending if you ask me. Considering they play in such a weak conference they need to schedule some tougher opponents and outside of this year they have not.

 

Not sure I see where they've been contending since 2007 though.

I am not talking about coaches or writers. I am talking about your average college football fan.

When you play the sisters of the poor for 10 of 12 games why do you deserve respect?

I think they try and schedule as tough out of conference as they can. I mean they are playing at Ole Miss next year for free with no return game. They just have a massive problem getting BCS schools to schedule them.

Are you serious? Most of the 1st quarter was off of VA Tech mistakes

Yeah, I think part of the reason they can't get as tough as schedule as they would like is because some of the bigger BCS schools don't want to play them. At least it seems.

Right and I agree with that, that's why I said they now need to contend for the next 4 or 5 years. These prior years can not be used because of the lack of scheduling.

You gotta love the penalty that gets called (a very weak late hit penalty) and the one that doesn't (block in the back on the return). Weak.

I agree with the no call on the block in the back. He hit him in the side.

I do as well.

 

As for the late hit, pretty questionable.

[DragonFire]

Boise State will play for the national title IMO. Oregon State and to a lesser extent Fresno State are the only teams I think even have a shot at them, and both of those are at Boise State.

[Big East Zebra]

Get ready folks for Boise/TCU National Championship game.
