Boise State fans on the SEC

there isnt an SEC team alive that could go 4-0 versus TCU, BSU, Utah, and Nevada

not Bama

Well at least that part is true

Remember that is from a fanbase at a program who intentionally overcharges legitimate programs to play them. That is done with the intent of not having to play a tough OOC schedule.

calm down...it's only a joke...seeing as how they lost to utah in 08

The SEC is 19-7 in BCS games and 6-0 in BCS title games.

Maybe there is something to that stat....

If their stadiums could hold 90,000 fans we would go on the road but no they hold 30,000...it's a money issue. These little schools can't guarantee the money we make in SEC/ home games. Thus many SEC teams are now going to Atlanta and Dallas to play OOC games.

Well...TCU was suppose to play us in 2009....but backed out to play an ACC team. Even though it was just a verbal agreement...they should have kept it and played an SEC team.

The Boise poster is probably right that most SEC teams (if any) would get through those 4 teams undefeated. Utah isn't very good this year, but the other 3 teams are very good. If you're playing 2 of them on the road, then the chances of running the table are very small. However, I don't understand what he's proving because Boise doesn't have a schedule like that. They played terrible teams almost every week. Hawaii and Nevada are your toughest two conference games. That isn't good. VT was a good win, however after they lost to James Madison it just isn't that great when that was your Super Bowl.

It actually makes the point of why Boise doesn't deserve to play in the BCS game though. Just looking at Alabama's schedule does anyone think Boise would have won these 5: Auburn, Florida, Miss State, @USCe, @LSU, and @Arkansas. That stretch is harder than the games the original poster mentioned. You've got 5 top 25 teams, 2 top 5 teams, 3 road games against top 20 teams... most teams are going to drop a game with that schedule. Add to that a team like Auburn has to beat Alabama and then beat USCe a second time to get to the BCS game. It is a gauntlet. Boise may have the best team but how can you prove it playing such weak games every week. I think Boise can play with anyone, just not every week. They only have to do it once or twice a year.

Statistically you're going to drop a game if you play all good teams unless you get really lucky. You can be favored and have a 75% chance of winning every game and still drop a game because they actually play the games. Boise is playing teams that they have a 99% chance to beat. They're a good team but when people say they have a 1 game season, it's hard to say that 1 game should earn you a spot in a game. Anyone can prepare for 1 game, not any team can sustain the performance while playing good teams every week. That is why it is so rare for an NFL team to win every game. Even the worst NFL team can beat you on a given Sunday.

pretty funny how he says 80% of the SEC's OOC games are garbage, when 100% of Boise's in-conference games are garbage.

so....
