I have kept my mouth shut, hoping to wait for the national title game but I just cant all of this "35-1" and talking about beating Oregon and what not, I just have to chime in. Hoosier is trying to make a case for Boise having a "strong schedule." Thats not true, their schedule is weak, yes they are very consistent, but thats only because of the lack of talent they play against. Take the 2006 Florida Gators National Champions beating Ohio State 41-14. This was a GREAT team with Chris Leak and Tim Tebow leading them into what would be the start of many great seasons to come, and I think most will agree that this team could stand with any team now and win, they were just that good. They went 13-1 this year losing to Auburn, but the strength of schedule was amazing with a combined opponent record of 100-49 and a winning percentage of .671, it was one of the toughest if not the toughest in the nation that year. This was a team that would have blown Boise out of the water, along with any SEC team this year, there is no doubting that. The one thing that I will point out though is this star studded team only scored over 40 points 3 times including the national title game and they only held opponents to under 10 points in 4 of those games. Any team that can consistently do that is NOT playing the caliber of teams that will get the national recognition. Maybe if your an SEC hater you were thinking this year that Ohio State was going to make a clean sweep and shut the SEC fans up, them taking on a 1 loss Florida team. Thats fine, take a look at their schedule they scored over 40 points in 3 games (remember this is an undefeated Ohio State team) and they held opponents to under 10 points in 7 games. Looks to me like they were the better team, but WAIT they go to the title game and get CRUSHED 41-14 and sent back home. The strength of schedule wasnt as bad as Florida's and as much as people didnt want to admit it, it was obviously true at the end of the year. This will be exactly what happens to Boise State.
You will notice the same thing with every other time an SEC team has went to a national championship, the numbers are always in the Opposing non SEC teams favor, but they always manage to lose.
P.S. Tennessee won today, that puts us at a whopping 1 SEC win lol GBO
