How can you say Boise is no better than Oregon. They have beat them the last 2 years. So what your saying is that the winner from a way weak big 12 conference is more deserving than Boise St. Basically just because they are the Big 12. You just got proof that Utah(a mountain west member) made us look like fools and Boise State would do the same and to all but maybe 2 or 3 teams in the Big 12.

Even if we played a Boise State's schedule this year I still think we would only finish 7-5.
Virginia Tech - L
Wyoming - W
Oregon State - L
New Mexico State - W
Toledo - W

Louisiana Tech - W
Hawaii - L
Idaho - W
Fresno State - L

I'm so tired of the strength of schedule argument! Boise State has proven now for the last 3 years that they can play with everybody in the country and I would bet if they were to play in the NC game this year, they would win.
It would increase the calls for a playoff, but in my opinion it would actually legitimize the current system. If Boise State and/or TCU/Utah make it to the national championship game, the argument that it's impossible for a non-AQ team to win the national championship under the current system would be debunked.
And even when they do beat a ranked opponent, it was a fluke or they still havent played anyone. Didn't they beat Oklahoma when they werent supposed to, oh wait, they wont on a fluke play. Whatever, if they are as weak as they are they would of got spanked and not stood a chance.
Define irony - Utah just gets done drilling ISU a brand new ***hole and Cyclone fans want to rip on MWC and WAC teams for not being the "real deal". TCU, Utah, and Boise St would likely roll all over most of the Big 12 this year.
Depending on how you interpret consensus, Ohio St isn't a consensus #1 as four other schools received first place votes in the coaches poll, therefore creating some disagreement among the group (voters) as a whole and not everyone agreeing to it.
Outside of those three schools, most of the MWC and WAC teams aren't the real deal.
Also, by Big 12 standards, neither are we.
Historically, to win a BCS championship, you need to come out of a power conference with either 0 or 1 loss. Could one of those schools go to the Big 12, Big 10, or SEC for 8 conference games, plus 1 or 2 BCS schools in the non-conference, plus a conference title game and run the table or take just 1 loss? I still don't know that we have seen enough to say for sure that they could do that.
The only way to know for sure is to try it. Lucky for us, Utah will do just that next season.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Big 10 office issues a press release soon saying Ohio State has already accepted a bid to play in the National Title game if this is true.
cyfan15- I agree that it would prove that even a non-bcs conference school could win the national title, but imo it still wouldn't prove the system works, and I have a feeling there would be a huge outcry from bcs conference champion fans that would feel the same. But then I'm biased as I think it's insane that there isn't an 8 team play-off to much more accurately determine a true national champion like they do in the other divisions and every other ncaa sport.
We beat Utah the previous 4 times we played them too... that worked out well.
Texas beat OU the previous two years as well... that worked out well.
