I hate ohio state more than the next but you cant seriously use the argument that ohio st. isnt an nfl factory and that boise state has any nfl credibility. 12 players since 99? is that supposed to be impressive?
you also cant argue about the usc game because im pretty sure USC could walk onto the blue turf and have 30,000 strong headed for the exits after 6 or 7 minutes. and i hate usc too.
Some of you guys crack me up.
We have guys saying that Oklahoma could have easily beat us. It took a miracle at the end of the game for the Sooners to even get to OT after Boise was dominating them.
Other guys are saying that Oregon only lost because they were playing their backup QB. Boise dominated Oregon for 3 quarters as well and the Ducks were lucky to even have a shot after the Broncos pretty much shut it down (it was a mistake to do) and allowed them to come back. People don't realize that with those same backup QBs, Oregon only lost on the road to USC and Cali while beating Oregon State on the road. Boise beat these guys at home.
Pisses me off sometimes.

haha if i was programed by espn id love USC and i wouldnt like notre dame. neither of those two things are true.
i just value big conference talent. both oregon st and stanford are schools that recruit big talent, probably bigger than boise st. i dont know how you can call oregon st that big of an upset anyway, they're a very good football team with some explosive playmakers.
So you're telling me you didnt believe espn when they told you USC would beat stanford?
Not having NFL caliber players is the reason you have to love Boise. USC not only gets the top qb, rb, and wr's, they get 2,3 and 4 in those positions and yet still manage to lose against inferior oppontents most years. Boise gets the scraps of the scraps willing to play in Idaho(BFE). The difference is they play balls out every game. There is a reason the big conferences won't schedule them home/home, and we all know what that is. I'm sure USC would not be willing to play Oklahoma or Florida at there place back to back, and Boise should not be expected to accept the same disadvantage. I am not a homer, but I do love to watch Boise play especially when they are dogs against the major divisions.
Believe it or not half the teams playing in the bowl games are not favored. I suspect not being favored plays in Boise's favor, if they can get past being screwed on the bowl. I think both these teams would rather have a shot at a major conference. Neither team gains very much by beating the other, both mid-majors.
Its a good thing if you are on Boise... It gives them extra motivation and installs them as the Underdog.. just like they were against OK, just like they were at Oregon.. Now they will play with something to prove and a chip on their shoulders...
Boise State is just honored to be on the same field as TCU. We just hope the Broncos can stay in the game for the first quarter, collect their bowl money, and not get too many players put in the hospital..
