Boise State Football has climbed into the Top 5 in the college rankings for the first time ever!
Sure is exciting. I do wish they could get tougher teams to play them but of course what does a team like the Texas Longhorns or Ohio State have to gain from this? Let’s say USC played them, what would they gain? If they beat BSU nobody cares, and if they lose they look really bad.
No one traditionally in the Top 10 has a reason to play Boise State, so BSU is destined to have a weaker schedule. As Boise continues winning a tougher schedule will slowing come, but it will take time unless they jump out of the WAC and into the Mountain West or Pac 10.
I am a big supporter of moving to the Mountain West Conference and developing that into a powerhouse. Immediately it would be a pretty dominant conference and with a good focus on recruiting the conference would be as competitive as any conference out there with a very good regional flair. The Pac 10 would be good, but Boise State could continue to develop as the league develops.
Staying in the WAC is an option but the conference is slow to develop. It has been developing, but Boise State would benefit from a quicker growth that the MWC would have.
I hope something happens and most of all I hope to see Boise State continue being in the Top 10 for years to come!
Go BSU!
