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.

I disagree that it's all about the money. They've actually shown that a play off format would make more money than a bowl series, but tradition and the advertising makes a huge difference. LSU doesn't care if Boise State has no audience because LSU has a huge audience. They just care if playing Boise State will get them a national TV appearance...and we all know it would. (I'm using LSU as an example.) So what if 90% of the people watching the game are rooting for LSU? It's still on national TV, which gives LSU a chance to showcase their program to HS players, hoping that those players will sign.
