I honestly think most of you guys have an awfully inflated opinion of Boise State. Their whole reputation rests on the one OU game. They play one game per year against a BCS school. And never outside the northwest since they went to Georgia and got absolutely whacked a few years ago. They would be an also-ran in the Pac 10 and would not win the Mountain West. They refuse to schedule Utah or BYU even though both are a bus ride away. TCU would crush them. I've seen them in person a couple times. They are not big or particularly athletic, TCU is both.
I'm no Boise State fan, but there's a lot of inaccuracies here.
1. Their reputation doesn't rest on just one game. It rests on being I believe the winningest program in the country this decade. If they don't have the best winning percentage, they're in the top two or three.
2. They have five seasons since 2002 where they've gone undefeated or only lost one game. They've only lost four WAC games ever since joining the conference in 2001, with two of them coming in the first year.
3. Boise State has only lost ONE home game since 2002. That loss came in the 2005 Humanitarian Bowl against Boston College.
4. The year Boise State got destroyed by Georgia was 2005, Boise State's worst year since they started their run in 2002. It was bad timing for that game, and to base your opinion of their program off that one game is ludicrous.
5. Boise State actually did play a road game at Utah in 2006. The Broncos won 36-3.
6. Boise State played TCU in a bowl game last year and TCU only won by one point.
