Do you guys think Utah was championship game worthy but didnt get a chance a couple years ago?

They had a chance to join the Pac-10 when all of the conference shifting was going on. Had they sent word to the Pac-10 that they were interested, there is no question they would have been accepted. But they chose to avoid the tougher conference.

I am not impressed with with the argument if they finish the season undefeated they deserve to play for the National Title game. They play in a weak conference where each week the starters play about 3 quarters, and they are done. I hate the argument, that people say they know how to win the big games. Yah sure they have been in 3 or 4 big games. Give me a break they play one good team every year. Boise State did not want to join the Pac 10 , they had already signed a contract with the MWC. That has to be one of the dumbest moves ever. Yah TCU is there so now instead of having a big out of conference games, they will just wait till they play TCU later in the year. Boise State playing in the National Title is a joke in my eyes. I just don't think 1 big win and being undefeated should get you there, while other teams in the BCS conf are fighting and clawing each week to get through there schedule untouched. I would take a 1 loss Big 10 and SEC team over a undefeated Boise State team.

Boise wins, the "big" team looks bad for losing to a WAC school
Boise loses, the "big" team was just padding their schedule with another tune-up game
IMO, Boise has done everything in their power to deserve a NC game.

cats gone wild;474788 wrote:Not necessarily true. Alot of teams do it one or 4 years in advance for a bunch of non con games. OSU is an exception except for the Colorado game.
enigmaax;474791 wrote:Question still stands. Everyone says schools dodge Boise State for the reasons above. I've never seen anyone back that up as fact. I recall some talk once about a couple schools who had full schedules or whose open dates didn't match. There's a difference between not dropping someone or not being able to completely rearrange your schedule to accomodate someone and ducking them. That talk is more of the Boise whine machine in action .
Hogwash. Boise refuses to travel and play teams away from home. Va Tech was the first game where Boise has left the stable.dlazz;474725 wrote:It's not Boise's fault they have to play the WAC schedule.
