Boise State National champs 2009?

[boisejames]

I've seen several, very early preseason polls by actual AP voters and Boise State averages about 10 with a high of 8 and with. So, if they go undefeated and are the only one or one of only two undefeateds, will they play for the National Championship? This could be the year a "mid major" gets in and Utah has made it all happen with their win over Alabama and a #2 finish.

I don't see it.

Boise's schedule next year is incredibly weak. Half of their schedule finished with 3 or fewer wins or was 1AA, and unlike Utah, they don't have a few possibly ranked teams.

It would probably require them winning every game by 20+ and every BCS team having 2 losses. And then they'd have to beat the Tebow.

I'm not seeing it.

Unless they are playing in the SEC West, no chance.

GTFO. Their schedule rivals Mount Union's.

I'm fairly certain Boise wants none of the SEC.

I don't know guys, a lot of experts say it's gonna happen. the schedule is weak sure but it always is and it's always gonna be til they move conferences and Nevada and Fresno State are gonna be pretty good and could be ranked when they play them if they are scheduled late enough in the season they could be ranked in the top 15 or so. And with Utah pushing a lawsuit on the BCS because of what happened this year. Anyway it's just a dream of mine, people used to laugh at me ten years ago when I said BSU would be a regular top 15 team in 5 years and 20 years ago when I said they'd move to D1A within 10 years and now people laugh at me when I say they will be number one in 2 years.

Oh we want all of the SEC. we would have gone 9-3 or 10-2 this year in the SEC. Next couple years comin up we'd go 11-1 or 12-0. Don't hate.

Not a chance. They won't make it past Oregon.

Nevada will probably lose to Mizzou and Notre Dame, and Fresno has a 3 game road stretch of Wisconsin, Cinci, and Illinois. Neither of them will be receiving votes, let alone ranked.

Like the saying goes, those who don't learn from history are doomed to get curb stomped by the SEC for their hubris. It's better for WAC teams to talk smack on a message board than to actually have to play SEC teams.
