Viginia Tech has 10 wins or more 5 years running and were ACC champs when Boise scheduled them, so I don’t think Boise State is avoiding tough games.
I think Boise would definitely jump if a regional BCS conference (Pac 10, Big XII) invited them. Same with TCU. I don’t know if the big boys want to expand though.
Nobody wants to play Boise State. I don’t think they’re avoiding anyone.
When you look at their schedule over the past two years, they been very impressive.
But it’s something else. Watch them play.
I think they’d in the upper ranks of any division they’d play. Perhaps not undefeated. Alabama had an exceptional team last year. I think the team got cocky and lazy. Still I look for them to end the year with wins and back in the top four as Oregon and TCU will lose.
