BSU would be favored over TCU, LSU, Wisky and probably even Stanford in their bowl game this year.
Boise St. wouldn't be favored over any of these teams now. I think they could beat LSU and TCU, but Wisky wouldn't destroy them. Wisky has possibly the best running attack in the nation and NEVADA just ran down BSU's throat. Imagine what Monty Ball, James White and John Clay would do. Stanford would also dial BSU.

Only differences (other than obvious difference that BSU could never get into title game with a loss) are that OSU lost earlier and it was a home game for the Bucks. But they should have blown the fuck out of the powerhouse that was the 7-3 Fightin' Illini, right?
OSU benefited from all the teams ahead of them losing to make it to the championship game.
I don't really understand your point. Yes, OSU lost to Illinois, but they also had a better SOS and better wins on their schedule that season compared to BSU this season. BSU's SOS has always been in question which is why they MUST win every game to even try to get into the title game and other teams like Ohio State, Oklahoma, Florida etc. can get in with 1 loss. They play tougher schedules.

So what was OSU last year losing to Purdue? A fucking embarrassment, and an absolutely HORRID team haha?
Again, what does Ohio State have to do with Boise St.? Ohio State lost to Purdue and were clearly not title contenders, just as Boise St. is clearly not a national championship caliber team this season, just as OSU wasn't last season. You don't help your argument by comparing a non championship caliber team from last season to a non championship caliber team from this season.

Some of you guys get locked in 1994 sometimes. Just because Nevada doesn't have black and white footage at the Rose Bowl doesn't mean they don't have a good team/good program.
Boise is still a great team, they just blew it in this game. Now they will likely be resigned to some bowl game before Christmas, which is a shame. But hey, that's the cards their dealt and they didn't make the best of them.
No one is saying BSU is terrible, just that they are not a championship caliber team this year. And really, Nevada a great program? This is their first win ever over a top ten team and that top ten team was Boise St. Also, this is the first time in like 40-50+ years that Nevada was ranked. Don't give me the Nevada is a great program talk.....shit, their schedule was worse than BSU's.
