Boise State: 1 win = BCS talks already?

Last Thursday during the Boise State vs. Oregon game the infamous AFLAC Trivia Question popped onto the screen. The question was, “In the past ten years how many ranked opponents has Boise State faced at home?” Answer: ONE (The Oregon team they were playing that very night). One ranked team at home in ten years? My goodness, show that to a team with the likes of any SEC, Big 12, Big 10, even Pac 10 school and they would find it laughable. Most of their teams must face at least three to four ranked teams per season.

So… why is it that every year Boise State sails through their push-over schedule, and slides right into the BCS picture? I think it’s downright ridiculous. Okay, they played and beat a very poor performing Oregon team, and now everyone automatically places them in talks for a BCS bid? Next up for the Broncos: Miami (Ohio), Fresno State, Bowling Green, UC Davis, Tulsa, Hawaii, San Jose State, Louisiana Tech, Idaho, Utah State, Nevada, then finally, New Mexico State.

Yes, they are a decently solid team, no doubt about that, but let’s see them step up the toughness of their out of conference schedule. Let’s see them play in the Big 10 or even the Mountain West, I guarantee they wouldn’t and couldn’t go 12-0.

What do you think?
