[@MattBuild4]

"No MW or G5 school for that matter should ever get a bye in the playoffs full stop." In most seasons, sure. However, I dont understand this take given what past MWC teams have been able to accomplish including previous Boise State teams. You do realize in less than 20 years the MWC has historically had 5 teams get ranked in the top 4 in the nation. So what youre gonna be #4 by the AP, but Seed 12 by the CFP despite being a conference champion? I think you have to leave the door open, and at the very least compare those historical G5 teams to current teams as the bar. Dont worry this bar would still be extraordinarily high. Like you do realize for 2024 Boise State to match what 2009 Boise State accomplished (who finished ranked #3) they would have to win 2 top 7 games ie - win the national championship this year or beat Oregon, go undefeated and beat another top 10 team along the way. 2010 Boise State (their strongest team ever on paper) was ranked #2 in the nation with over a dozen #1 votes for over 50% of the season and #3 for 95% of the season. That team got to where they were going back to back undefeated and then beating 3 top 25 teams including the eventual ACC Champion, while also posting a top 2 offense and defense and leading the nation in margin of victory and all efficiency stats, while also having a Heisman finalist candidate. In many ways this standard would be harder than being a champion in the P5.

[@MattBuild4]

@@brettk9316 So next season, Boise State will play USF, App State, Washington and Notre Dame in OOC. If Notre Dame has a similar season as this year, and Boise State goes undefeated are you suggesting that this wouldnt be enough to have Boise State contend for a bye? I just mean from a competition standpoint. Ultimately I think there are some money politics at play as well, where the league and its media conglomerates do not want to create a scenario where a G5 team will have a home game, even though this would significantly help the G5 program. To play devils advocate against myself, while there have historically been prior Boise State teams that could in theory deserve a bye tbh I dont think those teams would even care. In fact they almost would love to be put at #12 just for the fun of it.

[@colewarner4954]

If they play 10 times knowing the results of the previous games, probably. But 10 times as a first first matchup, Boise would probably win 1 or 2. Boise actually played by far their slopiest game of the year: 1) Two missed FG with one of the nations best NCAA kickers of all time. He is a 5-year started, Boise's all time leading scorer, and the 4th leading scorer in FBS history. He came into the game with a career 88% FG percentage on 106 attempts (Justin Tucker's 89% is best all time in the NFL) 2) 4 turnovers (They had around 8 in their first 16 games) 3) Their 13 penalties, the most Boise has had in a game since 2005 There is no doubt some of this is certainly the result of Penn State being more talented. However, Boise State has a history of success against more talented teams because they have historically avoided these kinds of costly mistakes against more talented teams. They, like every other team who had a bye in these playoffs, came out flat and rusty, and made mistakes they probably wouldn't have made if they had 2 weeks instead of a month off.

Lets keep in mind that at the beginning of the season everyone slotted the G5 team in the 12 seed and assumed they would be ranked #20 or lower.

Now I will admit they shouldn't have gotten a first round bye, those should go to the top 4 teams.

The way the Clown Offensive Coordinator for Penn State called this game should get him fired...but he's supposedly a genius who needs his ego stroked. Did Boise Belong there? Yes, that's why we play the games to win the conference Championship. Insert Alabama, Ole Miss, South Carolina or Miami instead and this is still the beat down that it should have been.

A couple things worth mentioning. 1) BSU should have made those 2 field goals, especially the first one in Q1 which could have altered the tone of the first half if it wasn't kicked closer to the sideline than the posts. 2) There were a couple outrageous no-calls that went PSU's way, e.g. there should have been offensive pass interference that would have either resulted in an interception or a PSU punt instead of touchdown. 3) Moving forward, I think that unnecessary roughness calls should be subject to targeting ejections because PSU #33 played extremely dirty targeting Jeanty and QB Maddux Madsen.

They dropped a TD right before half. They had a 50 some yard run called back. As many points as boise left off the board. So did Penn State. Does Boise belong? Sure. It's 12 teams. I'm not mad a G5 team gets in. I think boise could have even beaten a few teams in field. But had they played in a p4 conference.

Yet, everyone is expected to be PC and say the school from the non-P4 conference belonged in the CFP. I’m sorry, but they didn’t.

[@MattBuild4]

Boise State also played Wazzu, Oregon State, and GSU in OOC. Name 12 teams with a tougher OOC schedule than Boise State? So if youre gonna attack Boise State on schedule, what youre really arguing is that they play in the MWC. However, given that Boise State has historically been rejected 13 times in the last 25 years by the P5 it is a little silly to attack them for playing in the MWC. You cannot reject a team from a P5 for everything that has nothing to do with football, and then turn around and claim that the team isnt deserving because they dont play in a P5. Thats hypocritical at its purist. Better question is if the P5 is truly about competition, then why in the world does the P5 keep rejecting Boise State when they have been one of the most competitive teams in football the last 30 years? Its not even close in comparing at least 60% of the P5 to this program. A. Boise State has won the 2nd most games of any program, only behind Ohio State since 2000. B. Boise State has maintained a 72% win record in Division 1 since 1996 (Top 5 in the nation) and a 70% win record since 1933. C. Boise State has had the most undefeated seasons of any team the last 20 years (4). D. Boise State has had the 3rd most 10+ win seasons of any team the last 20 years (16). E. Boise State has had the most conference champions of any G5 team the last 20 years (14). F. Boise State has had the most ranked teams of any G5 team the last 20 years (13). G. Boise State has had the most top 10 ranked teams of any G5 team the last 20 years (9). This is superior to at least 60% of the teams currently in the P5, and superior to every G5 team added into the P5 the last 20 years. UCF and Boise State joined Division 1 the same year in 96. Since then BSU has won 207 more games, won 11 more conference championships, had 9 more ranked teams, had 7 more top 10 ranked teams. But UCF is in the B12 and BSU isnt.... So what on earth is the justification for rejecting this program if your conferences are truly about competition?

[@Thomas-p9j]

Here’s the cold, hard truth: Between 1999 and 2019, the MWC was 8-51 against Big 10 teams and 12-35 against SEC teams. So based on the Mountain West Conference’s collective record against these P2 conferences, it is evident how inferior the their conference is and how meaningless Boise State’s winning percentage in the MWC is. But let’s dig deeper since you like data: Since 1996, BSU’s record is 2-5 against the SEC and 5-10 against the Big 10, so why would any P2 conference want BSU, and the other P4 conferences (Big 12 and ACC) want teams that can’t consistently beat P2 teams? They already have enough teams that aren’t competitive with P2 teams and they don’t need more. Granted, I am not attacking Boise State just like I am not attacking really good FCS or Division II schools. I am merely stating facts. BSU, outside of the MWC, is a mediocre to poor team to P4 teams. And as such, they did not belong in the CFP and most definitely they did not deserve a bye over Ohio State, who would most likely beat them by 6 touchdowns. By any metric that a scout would use, overwhelmingly, the majority of BSU players are athletically subpar, the majority of their competition is athletically subpar, their teams are athletically subpar, and as such, all of your data is flawed and proves nothing. By the way, on an unrelated note, North Dakota State, an FBS school, has almost as many alumni on 2024 NFL rosters (11) as Boise State does (13). In the end, I am not a president of a P4 university or conference, so I can’t exactly say why BSU has not been accepted into a P4 conference, but my guess is it’s because BSU’s average football attendance, poor academic standing as an entire university, low market share for television rights, and most importantly, an abysmal record against P2 teams. And it’s really all about P2 conferences anyway.

@@Thomas-p9j *Record vs SEC/B10 teams* - "want teams that can consistently beat P2 teams". Ok well the record vs these teams isnt indicative of this, because when you actually look at the games played 6 of the 7 games vs the SEC were against SEC Conference Champions, SEC Division Champions and/or Top 13 teams. For the 5-10 record on the B10 - 7 of them are against B10/PAC Champions, B10/PAC Division Champions and/or Top 13 teams. This is not representative of the entire P2 conference - its not even representative of the top 25% of these conferences.

It would be one thing if the B10 had like 5 schools in it - but in reality every year its like 3-5 good schools and then 8-10 teams of mid to garbage - same with the SEC. *On Scouting* - This assessment doesnt make any sense. If BSU's athletes are subpar for the league, how in the heck are they averaging as a 70% win team? That mathematically doesnt work, because youre claiming there are at least 70 teams better than them if they are subpar for the entire league- that means their record should on average equate closer to 0.500 not 0.724. These are not close records. *On NDSU* - You realize per NCAA polls when FCS and FBS are included NDSU is top 40 in the nation?

Who do you replace them with if they didn't. Bama, SC? 😂

[@jakelong1205]

I think S.C. puts on a better show I doubt boise could beat Illinois and I am a Buckeyes fan

[@TheHollomap]

@jakelong1205 how much you think SC loses by. Cause they won't beat Penn State. And BSU lost by 17. It is not like they got blown out. I don't think SC keeps it close against PSU.

@@TheHollomap I am giving full credit to penn I also think it's a OSU VS Penn for the nattie and boise did get blown out Penn would have won by a larger margin if not for penalties

@@jakelong1205 I don't know I think Penn State will face ND. Oregon OSU is a coin flip. Winner of the Rose Bowl will be in the natty. it is either UofO or OSU vs. ND or PSU

The only thing boise st proved was they dodmt belong give me a break we all knew the results of this before the game even started and that is not saying much because penn st sucks even. If you put ole miss bama or south carolina or missouri one would wonder and likely penn st ends up as an under dog. In bama or ole miss case. Penn st sucks they faced no one and the teams they faced who were decent dominates them. Facing a couple cupcakes in the playoffs doesnt make you good post fact. Penn st notre shame indy smu all have a history of getting smashed against decent to good teams for a reason they arent good teams and that will continue to be the case i know you fanboys will keep dreaming up reasons to excuse them but they wont sniff a chip. And the reality is they dont belong. Never did. The big 10 is especially soft this season and there is no foubt in my mind if bama or ole miss played a real game they cared about in the playoffs they smoke penn st. Not caring transfer portal and 4 turn overs cost them that game due to weather conditions. Penn st barely scrapped by that joke usc. Listen i am telling you now and we all know this to be reality penn st eouod not beat texas nor georgia they would lose likely by 3 touchdowns. In fact we know ohio st and oregon would not beat georgia or texas we seen this same thing play out year after year oregon has shown they lose by 10-20 points routinely to the sec. Jokeiohio st will never win a thing against a sec team ryan day is a chokeartist. And if you say i am a sec homer i am actually hoping asu wins it all. Because i hate texas and georgia but my team is in the sec and have been watching football before most of you trump lovers were born. I also played football and was extremely hood so i have a diffferent perspective then you keyboard warriors. Penn st is done jokeiohio will likely lose again oregon cant beat georgia and i wish notre shame would win but it wont happen even with ga having a new qb i can only pray asu smokes the shorthorn. Texas is an unreliable team they like to choke but there is mo doubt they are better than oregon or jokeiohio. The point is boise st notre shame indy smu penn st and clemson even had no business being in these games. This format needs fixed to put the real top teams in sos needs to matter. Some of teams who got in have no business and would have never been in if they played any decebt teams they would have been exposed with a loss

You have let you fan boy emotions get in the way of logic...... Boise hasn't deserved to be in the running for a natty and have showed us that every time they are in the position since I was born in 1988

[@bigjmountaindawgcanna]

Al Boise proved is that a team who only plays one ranked opponent all season and lost to that one ranked opponent sucks. I have never understood how they are always in the natty title Convo they played one ranked team I Oregon and lost.... Look at the other teams they play..... They have a vacation schedule made up of teams most real teams play on a easy week. College football has gotten so sad. His wasn't close . It's delusional to say that they belong there
