First of all, to be clear, I am talking about this year's version of Boise, not the program in general.
Now with that being said, I'm not sure they would be the 7th best team in the SEC, let alone the country. Without a doubt their ranking is bogus, but at the same time I understand they're undefeated and that's how the system works.
I love the fact that people keep overeating this team. Going against them in the right spots is just plain $$$
The best thing that could happen is that they play Oregon again. I guarantee they lose in ugly fashion. Next best would be to put them against fellow "BCS buster" TCU and watch em lose that one too.
There are so many variables to that Oklahoma fiesta bowl too that no one discusses....like oklahoma's likely lack of motivation to be playing a f'n WAC team in the fiesta bowl when their real goal was to be in the NC game, while it was Boise's super bowl, and how Oklahoma dropped way behind early because of it. Sorry, but if that's an NC game, Oklahoma rolls Boise. Just watch the 2h to see how badly they physically dominated them.
I agree that they are well coached and that they do more than a lot of other schools do with less reources to do so, but my bottom line is that while undefeated, this year's Boise squad just isn't that great, and once they play someone, it will show....
