Yes, that's true, but as long as Boise refuses to play a competent SOS OOC, their rankings will be questioned. I don't think Boise State has ever fielded a Top 5 team. Top Ten maybe, but Top 5 no way. Since they don't play anybody I can't say they honestly proved themselves to be a Top 5 team. Sorry.
Listen, I'll take it from the SEC fans. I'll even take it from fans of Pac 12 and Big 12 teams, but I'm not going to take it from a fan (again for now) of some middling, crappy ACC team that plays the 90th ranked schedule in the country. Sorry. Not gonna do it.Okay. If it makes you feel better then don't. I couldn't care less what you think about UNC or the ACC. Our stats speak for themselves.

Yes. The stats do speak for themselves. I just layed a bunch of them out as it relates to your conference and all signs point to your conference sucking, worst AQ conference in the BCS era. Hell, even the Big Least is 8 and 7 all-time in BCS games. As an ACC fan, you should be ashamed.
Be my guest. I don't care what you or any other Boise fan thinks about my team or conference.
Unfortunately the answer for now may be to take those one and done road games versus a powerhouse and match that road game with a home game against a FCS team like we're doing next year with UT Martin. Hey, it sucks and I hate it, but I don't know what else Boise could do that would be better and still allow them to play six home games.Boise4Life,
Consider yourself owned geneh. You no longer get to join in the chastizing.Hardly, my friend.

Hey the feeling is mutual, Pal. I couldn't care less about crappy North Carolina or the crappy conference they come from. And I couldn't care less as to your opinions on Boise either. But obviously you care enough about them to spend so much time on these forums mostly belittling their schedule and their highly ranked finishes in the polls year in and year out. I don't think I've ever written a single post with the words "North Carolina" or "Tarheel" in it until today. Know why? Cuz North Carolina sucks. No one cares about them! And you can state over and over again that Boise was not a top 5 team in '06 and '09. None of that matters because you're wrong. They in fact, were top 5 teams in those seasons. Your "opinion" on the matter doesn't amount to a hill of beansThat's quite a rant for somebody who doesn't care about my opinion. You are liable to post anything when you are angry. I'll give you a break and not pull your chain anymore today.
Still waiting to see how Mark Coyle fills out the rest of these open dates. Say what you want about Gene Bleymaier. When it came to scheduling, I thought he did a really good job, all things considered. So now we are entering year two of the Mark Coyle era. Time to get something done.One reality you have to face though is you've become a victim of your own success. It was easier for Gene to get some of these games than it will be for Mark based on your past success. The really good teams don't want to schedule you because the risk of losing outweighs the rewards of winning and the mediocre teams don't want to schedule you because they know they are likely going to lose. It will take a lot of doing on Coyle's part to avoid those games I mentioned earlier. Boise gains very little by playing teams in the 30-60 range and even less in the 60-125 range, yet those will be the easiest to schedule, outside of paying FCS teams to come. You guys have had success with getting slotted in the kickoff classic types of games and he probably needs to do all he can to try to make these happen. They have done well for ESPN ratings wise, so it should be do-able.
Geneh reminds me of one of those bantam weight prize fighters who get their faces turned into pizza for 12 rounds, and then when the bell rings prance around with their hands in the air play acting like he won the fight.And Smiles checks in to chime in with his rant as well. It's rant day for Boise fans.
B4L, my friend, no sense in worrying too much about our favorite bantam weight. After all, this is a fellow who will start questioning your sexuality, like he did this weekend in another thread, or will start preaching Bible verses at you, start lamenting his poor health, or maybe come back as some other screen name so he can act like the reincarnation of diffendale.
He just declared that "SOS is everything" I patiently demonstrated how that even the BCS only uses this statistic as a single factor in the computer rankings, which in turn only count for a third of the rankings. Secondly, I have tried to point out how this stat is inconsistent, calculated differently by every single expert who uses it, and measures things largely outside of an individual team's ability to control.
Now he prances around acting the fool, pontificating in his imaginary world of football that Boise's AD could solve the scheduling problem by simply picking up the phone and making a date.
RollTide correctly points out what many of us have been saying all along, many major programs want nothing to do with setting up a game with Boise, on any terms. To them it's a lose-lose proposition.
Geneh looks at all of this uncomprehendingly, like a cow viewing a passing train. Still you gotta love a guy like this, he can single handedly keep Boise threads at the top of the message board. I think he is great.
Idaho is full of militants, survivalists, supremacists, and other whack jobs.Where in the world did this come from?
