Boise State vs. Ohio State
13 points better against Toledo so far. And it's not a home game.

The Broncos continue their march to the National Championship!

1. Let's talk about that march.
One team out of the rest of the "march" is ranked in the top 25.----number 23 TCU.... you call that a march?

Dude---I get your passion---and I know that you dream of your guys playing an NC.

But come on---even you have to admit they play a cupcake schedule.

Imagine if LSU or Oregon played a schedule like this year in and year out.

They may be the best team in the land.... but until they play better competition, they'll never play for the NC.

Tulsa
Nevada
Fresno State
Colorado State
Air Force
UNLV
TCU
Wyoming
New Mexico

2. Boise plays two tough games all year..
and even that's debatable as to just how difficult those games are. They beat a Georgia team that finished under .500 last year and is currently 0-2. TCU just finished giving up 50 to Baylor.

It's not that Boise isn't a good team. Further media exposure over the last few years has allowed them to successfully recruit more elite athletes....and they've apparently learned how to cheat just like all the top programs. With Kellen Moore, they're capable of beating anybody in one game on a given day. However, while BSU is waltzing through their cupcake schedule, everybody else in contention for a NC game spot is playing week in and week out in one of the top conferences..

Boise needs to earn their way to the NC..not have it handed to them. They want to contend with the big boys, have them play a schedule like the big boys. Because, as things stand now, even if they get a shot to play in the NC game, they won't deserve it..

8. And the big boys don't for the most part return Boise's calls...
