Serioulsy what's with the stupid Boise State crap?

Am I the only person on this running message board who could not care less about college football? I think not.

dude, boise state beat out oklahoma a few years back for the national title in the fiesta bowl, did you forget? 13-0. No one could defeat them that year.

Nice troll. Oklahoma was ranked 7th and had 2 losses prior to that game and blew an 18 point lead on top of that. Boise State was obviously a good team, but did not have the opportunity to prove themselves in a playoff and were handicapped by their relatively weak conference. It is over and done with, but lets just hope we getter a system better than the BCS sometime soon.

Who cares about college football seriously. When does success in NCAA football ever translate to success in NFL? Almost never, and this is not a troll, seriously think about it. Vince young has done what in the NFL so far? Brady Quinn has done what in the NFL so far? Brett Favre was who in college? Tim Tebow will do what in the NFL? Darren McFadden will be what in the NFL? Etc. etc. etc.

I'm with you.

Peyton Manning was pretty decent in college. LDTomlinson was decent. But, yeah, for every success story there's 9 failures.

But, back to the OP. I think some of the people over hyping Boise State are doing it to show that we need a playoff. Then we don't have to have these hypothetical discussions. Let BSU get their asses handed to them on the field not by some bogus ranking system. Of course, if we had a playoff, over time, it would probably lead to more parity in college football. The powerful conferences may lose their power.....which is why we don't have a playoff.

The very fact that Notre Dame is even mentioned as a possible BCS NC player with their shamefully easy schedule (except for SC), shows what a farce this whole thing is.

No, you're not the only one here who could not care less about college football. You're in the group referred to as Nancy boys.

college football = boring

You obviously don't know much about football. You listed some a few QBs who are the exception (not the rule) a 2nd year running back (who will be probably be a great NFL back) and a player who still has a season of college football left so you can't KNOW what he will do in the NFL. If you actually look at a pro-bowl roster each year you'll see that most of the players were high round picks who exceled in college.

I think the stomping Utah put on Allllaabama in the Sugar Bowl completely refutes your argument. After analyzing your writing style, I see you must be an Auburn student. D+

That's why they keep talking about how great their defenses are in the SEC.

Translation: The players and coaches in the SEC (Urban excepted) are too dumb to run a modern offense.

When a team has a chance to play in the national championship then falls to a lesser bowl game and plays a mid major, they have little motivation. Because of this, bowl games aren't a good indicator of the mid majors' strength. That being said, they are quite underrated overall. Teams like Utah, Boise State, TCU and BYU and really solid programs that would compete well in the larger conferences. They still aren't on the level as teams like Florida, USC and Texas though. I would think that if Florida played Boise today, the Gators would be at least 14 point favorites, maybe even closer to 20.

Say Whaaaat? Sure they have more speed, size, money, talent, and overall quickness, but I mean, other than that, they are pretty much equal. Where do you get off? Some people! Psheesh! What is this world coming to?

How quickly people forget:

Utah destroying Alabama last year

Boise State beating Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl

I personally don't think Boise is gonna challenge for the title, they just have a huge home field advantage. I think BYU is the real deal though, I thought they would give OU a good game and not only did they do that they won
