To be minimally credible as a contender for anything, they have to figure out a decent way to get a good SOS. Playing a couple of 2nd tier teams and then a bunch of teams who would probably go 0-fer in major conferences ain't going to get you there. Even if they're undefeated, a 1 loss team from any BCS conference or even a 2-loss team from the SEC deserves to play in the title game more than Boise.

No ones going to go play on their stupid blue AstroTurf, but that's their own fault for putting such a hard to look at grass in their stadium. If they negotiate right, they could play a neutral sites so they don't give away home field advantage. In the end they're the ones trying to prove themselves...make the effort. It's not about which conference is the best, but at least those conferences are pitting their best against each other week after week instead of just pronouncing that a team is good without testing them. If that's all it takes, why even play the game?

And again, no one cares about whether they can beat anyone. Boise State brings an unremarkable TV audience. That's the issue.
