I have a lot of respect for the accomplishments of Boise State and Coach Petersen. That being said, the schedule just cannot be overlooked. I don't care if it's Alabama, USC, Ohio State, or Texas--no team deserves a National Title shot with Boise's cupcake schedule. More than few FBS teams could go 12-0 with the only non-cupcake teams being V. Tech, Ore. St., and Nevada(can't believe I just included Nevada as a tough one)... Put Boise in the Big 12, SEC, Big Ten, or Pac 10 + 1 decent preseason game like most teams schedule, and Boise finishes with one loss (at the very least). Strength of schedule just cannot be overlooked. It's a travesty that more people don't point this out. Boise St. may be worthy of the title game, but until they play a conference schedule that includes several FBS powerhouses and FBS mid tier schools week in and week out, they don't deserve the opportunity--Big Brand name schools wouldn't deserve the title either with your schedule. Join the Pac 10 and earn your respect the right way.
