GO BOIIIIIIIIIIISEE!!!!

Tyrod Taylor just threw an incomplete pass to seal the deal for Boise and I must say I am very pleased. I did not pick Boise to win this game because I just did not think they could pull off another huge win off, but somehow they did. Like I stated earlier, their past accomplishments and continued track record of winning against power teams must be considered when debating whether they should be in the BCS Championship. At this point, if they take care of business and regardless of how many undefeated teams, this team should be in the BCS Championship. I think they are a 14 point better team than VA tech and they did not even play their best tonight. On a neutral site, they may be a 3 score better team than Tech. However, marching into their home with 80,000 fans, playing not that good and still taking them down means a lot. There is no fluke here, and there was no fluke with the 2007 Fiesta Bowl with Oklahoma, 2006 Oregon State, 2008 Oregon, 2009 Oregon, 2010 Fiesta Bowl TCU, and now 2010 VA Tech.

I doubt that Boise would run the table in the SEC or any other major conference, but I really can't speculate on these things with any accuracy because they aren't in those conferences. All we can look at is what they have done and what the teams they have played have done. Their schedule sucks, beating a VA Tech team should not just get them in, but with their track record over the last few years, they should get their opportunity if they run the table.

Others might say that they should have scheduled more BCS non-conference teams, but those people will never be satisfied. Even if they had 4 BCS conference teams on their schedule, people would still argue that their WAC schedule is weak and BCS teams have to play 7-9 BCS teams just in their conference.

Lastly, Boise passes the "eye test" with flying colors. Anyone who has watched them over the past few years realizes that this team is legit. They are a legit top 10 and maybe even top 5 program. With that said, if they are one of two undefeated teams at the end of the year, they should DEFINITELY be in the BCS Championship. Am I gonna tell you that they are better than 'Bama, Oklahoma, Texas, Florida, USC, Ohio State, and the likes of these guys?? Absolutely not, but I am going to say that they are with those guys. Just like how I can't argue that 'Bama is a better program than Texas or the vice versa, because all of that would just be splitting hairs. Yeah, there may be an answer, but it is so miniscule and not one program is truly "heads and shoulders" above the other. Boise is an elite program right now and should be treated like the other elite programs. If they win out, they should be in the BCS Championship!!
