Are We REALLY Talking about Boise State?



OK, so the Boise State Broncos beat the NCAA-football-powerhouse known as the Hawaii Warriors last night 27-7. Woo-hoo!

So, allow me for just a moment to perform a little stream-of-consciousness win-loss analysis of their schedule thus far:


  • Boise State beat Hawaii
  • Who beat Fresno State
  • Who beat Toledo
  • Who beat Michigan
  • Who beat Wisconsin
  • Who beat Fresno State
  • Who beat Toledo
  • Who beat Michigan
  • Who beat Wisconsin
  • Who beat Fresno State
  • Etc., etc., etc.

Now, allow me for just a moment to question a team's being ranked #15 in the nation (out of 120 Div. I football programs) with the following powerhouse of a schedule:


  • Idaho State
  • Bowling Green
  • Oregon
  • LA Teach
  • Southern Miss.
  • Hawaii
  • San Jose St.
  • New Mexico St.
  • Utah St.
  • Idaho
  • Nevada
  • Fresno St.

And, as a little FYI, these teams presently have a combined W-L record of 31-42 (a .425 winning percentage)!

So, how exactly are we seriously talking about the Broncos' being a BCS-buster with that kind of schedule against those types of teams?

Isn't it high time for a playoff system?
