Bingo. The Boise State hype is kind of dumb. They've played one ranked team all year, and that was #7 Oklahoma, a team with two losses. They won that game in OT. They play in the WAC, a conference that values defense about as much as Bill Clinton values honesty.

If Ohio State beats Florida, they will have beaten three teams that were ranked #2 at the time of the game.

"The Boise State hype is kind of dumb. They've played on ranked team all year.."

Oregon State won ten games this year, beat USC, and will probably finish ranked around #20 in the country. Boise State beat Oregon State 42-14. Hawaii went 11-3 this year, they'll be ranked in the top 25 as well, and Boise State beat them too. If that 3rd quarter Oklahoma punt hadn't taken that fluke bounce and hit the Boise State player leading to a gift touchdown when Oklahoma was down 28-10, that game would have turned into a boat race, probably ending up somewhere around 42-20. It's great that it ended up like it did, however, for obvious reasons.

The only thing we don't know about Boise is how they would have held up when playing teams with physical depth week in week out throughout the year, and what the attrition would have been on their roster. But after watching most of the bowl games, I wouldn't see anyone running those guys off the field this year.

Ummm they beat two top 25 teams this year. Oregon State is #24, and will likely be top 20 at the end of everything. Otherwise go on and rant.

True, but where are those teams now?

Texas, since that game lost to Kansas State and Texas A&M, who were both slaughtered in their bowl games.

And we all know what happened to Michigan in their last game.

On the other hand, should Florida win, they would have victories over two teams that ended up in the BCS Top Five (OSU and LSU).
