However, allow me to rebutt because the charge that BSU is padding their schedule has come up a lot. However there is a lot of pressure here to make a bowl game. BSU has been trying to get a tougher schedule but some better teams have refused. Ostensibly because they don't like the time difference. A 7pm game here is 9 there and they say they lose viewership so the PAC 10 and Mountain West become our prime targets to get games out of. You also have to remember that there are WAC obligations so a major portion of the schedule isn't going to get us anywhere.
Next year we do play VTech and OSU as OOC games right off the bat. Believe me BSU wants to be playing more top 25 teams. I don't think they want to be playing team Tebow, but they certainly want more BYUs, Cincinnatis, Oregons, etc.

Ok let me Clarify, One of my best friends went to Boise and is a HUGE fan. I would love to see Boise get a piece of the BCS action (even though I think they are weaker today than they were when they took out Oklahoma)
My comment was more about... yes Boise is doing great... but give yourselves a real schedule so that you can stop playing BCS buster EVERY YEAR, it gets old. My buddy is as die hard for them as I am for UF, and he has guys on the inside. I hear him rant and rave about their lack of interest in seeking a harder schedule.
Go smurfs, but go play some real games. May I suggest Oklahoma. They seem to hate big games.
