Agreed. They've actually told teams that they'll go to their place and play them so they don't even have to go out to Bronco Stadium. Most teams are just too scared or have too much to lose with a loss and respect that Boise State would have a very good chance of beating them. In a system where 1 loss usually means "kiss your title chances goodbye," why risk it?

Either way, the national championship in the first year of my dynasty was actually Boise vs. TCU. I can't remember who won, but I couldn't help but think that even if they were the only two undefeated teams left in the nation, they still wouldn't both be in the title. Not much of a "BCS" championship if there are no BCS teams playing.

There really isn't a reason for big 6 schools to play boise, when there conference schedule is good enough to get them to a bc$ game, and they can schedule cupcakes.

I'm not sure they need to schedule a top 6 team, but how about a top 15 team? A couple years back Hawaii fans were complaining because they were undefeated and never had a chance at the title. They made the same excuses that nobody would play them because they had to fly all the way to Hawaii, blah, blah. Then they played Georgia in some BCS bowl and got destroyed. I just think Boise St is generally way overated. IMO they have beaten one really good team in the past five years, in the upset over Oklahoma, thats it. An SEC team has the luxury of playing an FCS cupcake, Boise St shouldn't, if they want credability.

He said "big 6" team, not "top 6." He's talking about any team from the 6 BCS conferences.

But I have one word for your "they've only beaten one really good team in the past five years" argument: Oregon. Of course, they also beat TCU (in what had to be the most pointless BCS game of all time), who was pretty good.
