Does Boise State deserve to play for the BCS title this year?

They will have gone two years without a loss and beaten some good teams on their run. I say give them a shot. Two seasons going back to back undefeated is pretty incredible.

Yep. Depends on how others do. If everyone else has 2 losses, then of course.
I would take most other undefeated BCS teams before them though.

It really is quite simple. The objective of a football game is to win. As long as you win your games, you should be able to continue to play, until only one team is left standing. The national champion.

Who gives a rat's ass who Gregg Doyel, or you, or I, think should play for the National Championship? It isn't a popularity contest, or a beauty contest, or an election. Settle it on the field. Last team standing. It isn't really that hard, is it?

At least, that is the way it should be.

But, of course, they don't do that in college football - at least FBS. Instead, a few sports fan and computer geeks get together and guess who are the best two teams in the land, and those two teams get to play for the national championship.

They're no less deserving than the other teams currently occupying the top 10.

Of course, it all depends on how things shake out over the next three months.

Wouldn't this depend primarily on how other contenders did? Also, won't that BSC formula spit out the two teams that will play for the title? So, if BSU gets spat out, then I guess they deserve to be in the game.

I will say this much; going undefeated two seasons in a row with wins over TCU, VTech, OSU, etc. would be quite impressive.

My experience with BSU fans outside of message boards has been limited, but the general consensus I've gotten from them is that they are just as deserving as any other FBS program to contend for the National Championship. I've always thought this to be slightly delusional.

I saw the following article posted on Utefans:

I generally think that the writer is a grade-a asshat, but I'd be lying if the article didn't get me thinking about Boise's legitimacy. Why does Boise get to be the exception out of all the other non-aq schools that have gone undefeated?

Here's their 2010 schedule:

Virginia Tech (at Fed Ex Field)

Wyoming (at Laramie, WY)

Oregon State (Bronco Stadium)

New Mexico State (at Las Cruces, NM)

Toledo (Bronco Stadium)

San Jose State (at San Jose, CA)

Louisiana Tech (Bronco Stadium)

Hawai'i (Bronco Stadium)

Idaho (at Moscow, ID)

Fresno State (Bronco Stadium)

Nevada (at Reno, NV)

Utah State (Bronco Stadium)

Aside from VT and OSU, they'll most likely coast.

It's common knowledge that Boise's schedule is primarily made up of cream puffs. In recent years, this has prevented other undefeated teams from playing in the MNC game.

If they run the table this year, does Boise State deserve to play in the Title Game next January?
