Win every game you play and that's not good enough, even when no-one else does. Only in college football.

Time to "stir the pot" this morning.

If Florida had squeaked out an ugly one last night, I might agree with you. The fact is, however, they won convincingly over the undisputed, undefeated No. 1 team. Florida is No. 1.

[The_Victor]

Anybody rather than any Florida team.

I'm an OU grad, a forever Sooner fan, but I gotta give it to Boise St; they've got the stuff it takes to be a champion.

[JCEccles]

One brave soul gave Boise State a number one vote in the final AP poll. Good on em!

[Arkinsaw]

Boise State will have to play Grand Valley State, they had a better record if record is what we are going on.

"How many SEC teams play non-conference road games?"

SEC teams don't need to play non-conference road games to prove themselves. Non-conference games matter for teams in conferences which suck.

To prove themselves, SEC teams play conference games.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

For what it's worth:

AP Poll:

1 Florida
2 Ohio St.
3 LSU
4 Southern Cal.
5 Boise St.

I understand Boise did get 1 first place vote, the rest going to Florida.

The coaches' poll put BSU 6th.

[freedomson]

You make a good point and as a broken hearted Buckeye fan, I agree with you.

I like Boise State so much this year that if they had played OSU, I would have rooted for the Broncos and I bleed scarlet and gray.

[libbylu]

Mad? What you say means nothing. UF had the hardest schedule in the country and they beat what was called "the best college team in history, lol". GATORS GOT THE RINGS AND THE TITLE!!!!!!!!!! GO GATORS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mainepatsfan]

Funny how we don't have conversations like this after the NCAA basketball tournament.

[JohnLongIsland]

Florida lost to Auburn
Auburn lost to Arkansas
Arkansas lost to USC
USC lost to Oregon State
Oregon State lost to Boise State

so in theory boise state would have gone undefeated in the sec this year.

[crz]

Top 8 play off.
Wisconsin. Number 2.
Wisconsin beat both Ark and Auburn, but lost a tough one to Mi.
Did BSU play any of those teams during their regular season?

[IndyTiger]

I know the bowl games make millions for the schools, but I have to believe that the NCAA is leaving millions more on the table by not going to a playoff system in Division I. Sooner or later, it's going to happen. And I think a playoff system could be devised using the bowl games. I've seen several different scenarios over the years.

[rabidralph]

Woo-Hoo!

[Clint N. Suhks]

That's exactly how I see it.

[ChadsDad]

Is there a college in boise?

[indcons]

There's no need to get mad; folks here always treat the retarded with compassion.

[ark_girl]

SEC teams have scheduled home and aways with teams from other conferences. In recent years, Arkansas has played Texas and Southern Cal. We also played Boise St. several years ago, though I don't remember if we played them at their house. I can't remember who, but someone else in the SEC had a biggie this year too.

What this proves is that we need a playoff system. Boise St. didn't have to go through the week after week gauntlet that teams in a major conference go through (which is why the Gators deserve the championship with our current setup). So, there's no way to know if they could do it over and over. Plus, we'll never know if they could or couldn't have beaten UF because they were never given the chance.

We need a playoff. That's the only honest way the little guy will ever have a fair chance without giving their teams something they didn't earn.

[BurtSB]

good lord, the gators schedule was brutal , tenn, ga, s carolina, auburn, lsu, arkansas, fsu, versus the light weight wac divisions teams , utah , byu, . get real

[RetiredArmy]

For Boise State to prove they belong among the elite of college football, they need to join the PAC 10 or Big 12. They have to play a week in and week out schedule against big schools, not the Weber States, Utah States, Montana States, Idaho or Idaho States types. They have to play bigger teams. Boise simply would not make it in the SEC schedule. They would not survive week in and week out against SEC teams. Even strong SEC teams do not do it. Florida mashed the defending national champs. LSU ran over the mighty Notre Dame. I like Boise, but till they move into a larger conference and prove it week in and week out, they are not the national champs. You can rant all you want, they are not.
