Boise State Vs. VT

[Hoofbite]

The only thing that makes me upset about this, is that sure they beat a "big name" school (despite Virginia Tech really not being deserving of a preseason #10 ranking), but now they'll go along their usual tour of beating teams on their weak schedule and then the media will clamor for them to play in the national title game.

I hope that if they do make it, they get absolutely dominated. Either that or lose to a garbage team along the way.

Why the hate?

Kellen Moore is shorter than the woman interviewing him.

He needs to be taught that it is acceptable to ask the reporters to take their shoes off when you are playing in DC.

to be fair Boise scheduled #24 Oregon state and they scheduled the toughest opponents that were willing to play them. not their fault they are stranded in a bad conference

 

[Hoofbite]

this most likely just turned the whole freaking college season into a joke

The entire college season is a joke to begin with.

The fact that teams get absolutely no reward for peaking at the end of the season is absolutely ridiculous.

I honestly don't know why people are worried. The BCS will do everything they can to make sure Boise State doesn't get to that game.

Don't worry fellas, lopsided voting and a garbage system will win out, as always.

I don't care who you were rooting for, that game was amazing.

Great start to the football season. Little sloppy at times on both sides. Missed FGs, Boise committed a ton of penalties and got sloppy with the ball during a drive but that game delivered.

I was really impressed with Tyrod Taylor.

Aside from going tunnel vision at the end and airing it out, he played a really good game. Dudes athletic as all hell and actually has a little touch on the ball.

He's got a hell of a deep ball too. If he keeps throwing bombs, he's gonna start a fire in Al Davis' panties and end up in Oakland.

Great Game. Boise has demonstrated the need for a playoff system. Oklahoma, Oregon, Va Tech will tell you about Boise State

VT needs to make those their every game uni's.

I love how those look.

I posted a link showing the 10 Nike "pro-combat" and those were my favorite ones.

it looked like they wrote on the numbers with a marker

Every team has something on the numbers.

Fla-gator skin look
Ala-Houndstooth look
Mia-Palm tree look

I'm not sure what the hokies look is but I like it.

Why the hate?

BCS homer fans.

This current Boise State team can play with anybody. They had several key defensive players dinged up going into this game, enough so that they didn't play in the Fall game.

Ton of penalties tonight, but probably the best coached team in college football in terms of executing on the field.

And they are fast, and physical.

Also what happens to the Boise's of the world when they get good the BCS teams refuse to play them because they are afraid of winning so it is harder to play out of conference games as a Boise and they always have to go on the road for them.

The BCS is a joke and until they get a playoff like the rest of college sports including the rest of college football they will always suck

I'll put it this way, if they played like they did tonight... They would have beaten the Florida Gators team that showed up last saturday by 20-30 points.

Another simple way would be re-do the scheduling.

Make each team play an equally ranked team of a different conference each year. ( It can rotate)

Example:

Lets say it's a big ten vs. SEC year.

Alabama won the SEC, Ohio state won the Big 10. The following year Ohio St and Alabama would play.
Florida was 2nd, so they'd play the 2nd rank team in the big 10.

By doing so, you only have to change one game per season for each team and the added difficulty would knock out a lot of the smaller conference teams that don't play tough schedules. OR it would strengthen their schedule and give them more legitimacy in the BCS ranking.

Just an idea. Obviously there would be things that would work and wouldn't work about it but I think it'd be a start since they seem to refuse to go with a playoff system.

At least this would make the undefeated's less common.

It is their fault. They could actively petition to join a conference where they'll routinely play tough talent, like the Pac 10 or the Big XII.

Oregon State being ranked #24 is a far cry from playing top tier talent.

If they were to join the Pac-10 they would routinely have to play USC, Cal, UCLA, Washington, Oregon, Oregon State, and then I want to see them schedule their out of conference games against teams like Alabama, Texas, and Oklahoma and have ROUTINE success, not one-hit-wonder games where they win by 3 points or a last second touchdown. Blowout wins.

They're in the WAC. They shouldn't even be considered for Top 10.

I can agree with this. Texas playing for the title last year was a joke.

I am not impressed with Boise St beating a team that has lost at least three games in each of the last four seasons. I want to see them play Nebraska, Iowa, Florida or Oregon later in the schedule instead of these stupid preseason games that don't matter to these third tier schools.

 

[Doomsday101]

Great game!!! Not a fan of either team but fan of football and I found this game to be enjoyable and exciting. Congrads to Boise and a tip of the hat to VT.

You obviously have not followed Boise State at all. They have been actively working to get into a better conference for the better part of the decade. They would have down backflips if the Pac-10 would have invited them. They would have done backflips if the Big XII had invited them. In the end, the Mountain West did invite them and it took them two seconds to accept. The Pac-10 didn't think that Boise academics were a fit (which is true) and the Big-12 doesn't think that the Boise Valley would bring enough television sets to bring value to their TV deal.

We, as Cowboys fans, don't like it when people say ignorant things about our Cowboys, so how about you don't say ignorant things about other teams.

I understand the strength of schedule thing and if a SEC team has one loss and the Big-12 team has one loss I will be the first guy to say that those two teams deserve the NC game over an undefeated Boise, but this ignorant hate on Boise is not needed.
