I know it's frustrating for you as a BSU fan, but com'on. You think that because you can win 1-2 "tough" games a year that you should have all sorts of respect. Unfortunately, the hard part about the SEC, BIG12, BigTen, etc. is that teams get beat up throughout the year. Even the "weak" teams can be tough. The week to week grind is what garners respect, not beating OSU or a weakened VT team. Those teams are middle of the pack or lower in the SEC, Big12 or BigTen.

I think BSU is a really good team. But because of the weak schedule no one knows just how good they are. It's that simple. Nev, Hawaii are nothing. VT lost to JMU! OSU is decent but has 3 losses already.

And yet, that never seems to matter when considering wins over those teams by Ohio State, Alabama, or Nebraska. They are big conference teams, so beating them is always hard and can’t be seen as a lesser win for Ohio State/Alabama/Nebraska.

But when Boise State does it - hey! That does really count. Sure, they are big conference teams, but that doesn’t mean it’s hard to beat them.......

Boise State put OSU and VT on the schedule this year, et al, and it didn’t make a damn bit of difference; neither will having beat 4-5 ranked teams by the end of the year. Next year they have ‘Ol Miss, et al. They can run the tables then, too, but it won’t matter. It never does, because it’s not really about the opponents.

It’s about keeping the money in the big conferences.

I keep hearing the argument about who Boise State plays. How many of you BCS apologists’ big conference teams could go into Boise and win? I’ll take that bet any day.
