Boise? Really? Boise who barely beat Va. Tech? Boise whose second-best win is Hawaii, who got blown out by Colorado and Tulsa? Whose third best win is Fresno State who was blown out by Northern Illinois and lost to Ole Miss? Good grief, I understand folks around here hate the BCS (and I do to) but pretending Boise State isn't the fraud they are does nothing to help the cause. :ohno:

Boise is no fraud. They have gotten the job done on the field the last few years and it's not like they are ducking anyone. They are a legit team.

Anyone who thinks Boise is a fraud doesn't know d1ck about football. They are the real deal.

no, but it's a good measure to see how stable your thinking is. The ACC sucks

Trying to keep up with your twists and turns has truly made me unstable.
You're right the ACC sucks Mr. "I thought VaTech was a great team cuz they ran thru that same sucky league" :lol:

It's all good, TCU and Boise are great teams. There's a reason why VaTech struggles against top 5 teams and it's more than just the league they play in.

How exactly do you justify putting them in the top 10?

I personally can understand why people wouldn't want to have them in the top 10 because they haven't beaten anybody, but I think they are a top 10 team because of how they play

Uh, considering Boise could only barely beat a VT team that Stanford worked over, that shows that Stanford is better than Boise.

Teams change over the year, if I'm not mistaken there were only a couple games this year outside of the ones they lost that were decided by less than double digits.
...at least understandable??? They went to a BCS bowl game, reaped millions, and lost to an FCS team. That's not understandable, it's BS. They're not a good team, and it was exposed vs. the team that should have been in their place, Boise, and the 2nd place team from the PAC10.
Oh, VT is a good team, you don't win 11 straight (out of a bad BCS league) and not be a good team. The thing is, to be in a BCS bowl, you should have a great team, which VT wasn't.

Who did Boise beat that was a great team? No one. Barely beating VT and losing to Nevada proved they definitely aren't a legit top 10 that deserved to be in a BCS game. Legit top 20? Yeah, probably. With that said, VT and UConn didn't deserve to be in BCS games either.
