would a team like Boise or even Oregon get a shot if they run the table? Im hoping Ohio St loses at some point so if one of these other smaller programs is undefeated they actually get a shot.
It wouldnt be shafting anyone...Boise doesnt play anyone. Bama just showed what can happen with a real schedule...you can run into a team that just has everything clicking that day and they beat you. Boise plays one mediocre ACC team and Oregon State and then the next toughest team they play is Nevada. They literally couldnt lose another game if they wanted to. If they come out flat one game, it doesnt matter. Their opponents having a great day wont even phase them. That schedule should be taken into consideration when you have a 1 loss team from the SEC or Boise. If Bama played the schedule Boise plays there no way in hell they would lose a game.My biggest hope is that Oregon does their yearly choke and that Michigan State, Michigan or Wisconsin trips up Ohio State.
I want nothing more than to see TCU and Boise finish unbeaten and see the ways the BCS will find to shaft them. It's a joke.

I don't disagree with you about the schedule Boise St. and TCU play. However, I also think the system as a whole is flawed where a team can't get a chance to play for the national title despite an unbeaten season.
Using the college basketball analogy... Butler last season took the college basketball landscape by storm. Their conference schedule couldn't TOUCH the one played by Michigan State, Duke or any of the heavy hitters.
Under the BCS format, Butler would have never gotten so much as a CHANCE to prove they could hang with the big dogs.
I fault the system.

Boise beat Oklahoma and still gets no respect.
It says a lot about them that they can beat good teams. Im not trying to say Boise is garbage, because they clearly arent. All Im saying is that they play one, maybe two losable games all year. You cant do that and expect to be held in the same regard as a team that plays 5 or 6 games against real opponents. Its hard to be on your game every single week.Boise beat Oklahoma and still gets no respect.

On one hand BSU is a non-AQ team. On the other hand, people always say elite team X would go undefeated with that schedule. So what does that make BSU? In my opinion, it makes them an elite team since the comparison has already been made by all the naysayers.
They now own the longest winning streak in Division 1 football. The last time they lost was in 2008, after an undefeated regular season, to TCU. The same TCU they beat last year.
They're now on course for their 4th undefeated regular season in 5 years. Think about that. How hard is it to do that, even with cream puffs? When was the last time this was accomplished in any division of college football?
But they'll always be unworthy to some. They just don't jibe with the hundred-year-long-plus tradition of college football. They're the new guy in the company who wants the top spot and damn the seniority. All they can do is keep proving themselves. Again, again, again and again. Until Mark May and Craig James wipe those **** eating smirks off their faces.
