Your reluctance, however, suggests that you believe they really are pretty good and you are afraid you might lose the game, especially on the road.....and if that is the case, it suggests that their ranking is deserved.....
Being pretty good and being good enough to run the table in the SEC or Big 12 or Big 10 are two completely different things. Hell, TCU and BYU and Utah all go play multiple legit opponents most years in non home and homes. Why do you think people are willing to play those teams and not Boise? They are for the most part just as good, and from a second tier conference. It has nothing to do with fear. Boise just wants to negotiate like they are Texas when they are well, Boise. BCS conference schools just aren't going to put up with being strong armed by some upstart who has only even been around for 15 years. They need us. We don't need them. Most of the "BCS buster" schools understand that. Boise isn't one of them.

Well, given that the original post in this thread had to do with resentment over them being ranked #2 in pre-season polls, I am not sure that is really the case, any more.......
Look, as I said, I don't think their ranking is justified, myself, but I also don't think teams that refuse to schedule them have any right at all to complain about that ranking.....that's all....
