Hey, Felton1975: As far as your prognostications, we'll never KNOW now, will we. I think BSU would have beaten the lot of 'em, had they been given the CHANCE.

Neither.

They are a great football team. As for how great they are, that is impossible to tell because of the BCS system that stubbornly resists a playoff system that would give teams from the smaller conferences a chance to win it all. That's insane that a team can go undefeated in a season and not be considered for a national championship.
I can say that their game against Oklahoma was probably the best college football game ever. From that game, I think that Boise State would have had a chance beating anyone.

Boise State was a great team this year. I wouldnt have given them a chance, but they did what they had to do. They have done well in the recent past, and probably will continue to do well. But once they step out against teams like in the SEC and Big Ten, they will be in trouble of getting into the BCS title game. The Big 12 was down this past year. Most of the teams were a complete flop in the season. If Boise State goes up against a really great defensive team, they will have all sorts of trouble. But Im not taking anything away from what they did this past season. Those kids and the staff deserve everything they achieved this year. I hope it continues for their program.
War Eagle!

They are neither. Oklahoma was not a powerhouse. Oklahoma was champion of a watered down conference and truth be told, they shouldn't have won the Big XII South. Boise was a solid football team, but had they played an SEC, ACC or Big 10 schedule they would have 4 to 5 losses, if not more.
Based on the other BCS bowl teams, I think the Boise St. results would have looked this way:
Loss to Florida
Loss to Ohio St.
Loss to USC
Loss to Michigan
Loss to Louisville
Loss to LSU
Loss to Notre Dame
? to Wake Forest

they are a great football team but they aren't the greatest there ever was. Boise has no history...they weren't good until this year. i believe that they will make a title for themselves but you have to remember that they aren't in a BCS division making them uneligble to get into a the title game. the only way they can is if they go undefeated next year again...which i can see happening.
i think that if they continue to have seasons like they did this year they will definently considering one of the greatest college teams. but you have to remember the greatest college team has to win the BCS Title Game...it is kind of like a rule. you can't say that the Lions are the best team in the NFL (just an example) if they haven't made a superbowl appearance or have won one. Boise has to win the big game...and then i will considered them one of the greatest teams ever

They should be the greatest ever! They are more like the Texas Western (now University of Texas at El Paso) basketball team back in 1966 where they knocked off Kentucky (am I right?) for the National Championship in basketball.

I don't see anything great about a philosophy/worldview that robs the universe of magic and provides no possibility of answering the only meaningful questions in the universe as far as the human experience is concerned. Atheism is an inherently empty and demeaning philosophy that, if we're being intellectually honest, turns us into slabs of meat made of molecules made of atoms made of strings and whatnot entirely without purpose, meaning, or intrinsic value. Thinking that atheism is "deep" and "honest" is quite simply a demonstration of shallow thinking. Region does not inhibit scientific progress anymore than dogmatically defended paradigms in the modern secular sciences. What you call "progress inhibition" is simply the wholly scientific voice of dissent. Progress is not possible without dissenting opinion. @Believe,right on! Atheism is clearly contingent on delusion and wishful thinking to maintain the illusion of logical coherence.

That was in fact one of the best games I have ever seen in any sport, but lets be realisitic.
Maybe.....maybe one of the greatest games ever played.
Definately not the greatest team ever. Probably not even top 3 this year. (Florida, USC, Mich, LSU, then BSU)

Neither. They were a good football team who beat a better team and who is no way close to being a better team than most of the "average" major conference team.

Considering the level of competition they play in their conference I wouldn't call them great by any stretch of the imagination.
