LOL...even in a down year (save for LSU and Alabama), Boise still isn’t among the top 8 teams.

You’ve managed to pull a lusty upset or two in the past, but BSU would be a 6-6 team in the SEC.

Sorry.

That could be true (but I doubt it). I haven't really followed BSU that closely but I think they were pretty banged up. Even so, they ended up ranked #7 in the BCS, and end up in the Las Vegas Bowl?

Why even have rankings if they mean nothing in selecting which teams go where? With the current system, if you're a big named school from a major conference, as long as you finish better than 500 (or under as is the case with UCLA), you're predetermined to get a favorable bowl.

Maybe they should have a similar system in pro sports with standings meaning nothing?

Pardon me, I believe the Georgia Bulldogs were defeated by a Mountain West Team named Boise State this year. Please correct me if I am wrong.
