I don't think the B12 has the same academic requirements as the P12 when TCU was invited and there's wasn't even a sniff for BSU to the B12 this latest round. I agree that BSU was more consistent than Utah but the rest of what you said is just fluff. Taking the most comparable seasons for both teams is about as fair as you can get. Utah has always sold out our stadium since 2003 and did well in TV ratings. If Utah was BSU's little sister, I sure like the way things turned out for us.. Again, congrats on being prestigious academic school! You should take pride in that. Utah, never, ever came close to grabbing the nations attention the way Boise did. Just facts.

halfmanhalfbronco Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Utahs win over Bama was more impressive than Boise's win over OU but received less than one hundredth the attention. Gotta suck.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfmanhalfbronco Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Anybody who thinks Boise was not clearly the premier program during the BCS era is blind by homer ism. It was not close 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But again, if BSU was the national powerhouse you claimed they were you'd think BSU would have got an invite to the B12 over TCU(since BSU was the supreme King) or even West Virginia. The B12 isn't as strict on academics like the P12. And today, picked over BYU, and UCF and Houston.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, we have a small donor base, a government that hates higher education, our academic profile is not even in the same solar system as Utah's (though improving at a remarkable rate) and we are in +++++ing Idaho. Boise was head and shoulders above Utah during the BCS era. Not even a question. Our football program since we joined D1 has been better than yours, and it is not all that close.

halfmanhalfbronco Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 There is ZERO comparison as to which program was better in the BCS era. Boise was far more accomplished year after year. Our only peer was TCU, in which they still took a back seat in the media. Utah was our ugly cousin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anytime a BSU coach does anything good, they get picked off by P5 schools. You guys don't even sell out a small stadium.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halfmanhalfbronco Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Boise was a better program than Utah in the BCS era. EVERYTHING shows this. TCU was closer, but still inferior. Saying that Boise was not the best Non AQ program is just being a lazy homer for the since dead MWC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average at best according to US News. I don't really think the B12 has modeled their invites on academic profile only. I think they wanted to fill holes with sports related numbers and possibly snag decent revenue. With BSU's reputation of being King of the Mountain and waves and waves of national interest, I'm surprised BSU wasn't top choice considering BSU's firepower when they were top dog as recent as 2014.

All those programs had larger investment. There is ZERO question as to who was a better football program. We shit on Utah, during that time period. Our teams were soooo much better year after year. You getting invited to the PAC does not change that. We were simply the best NonAQ football program during that era. Period. If you want me to wreck your ass I can post the year to year numbers,, it would take me a while but just let me know, I have done it before..

So bsu would have been as good, but the likelihood of running the table was lower. We actually lost to San Jose.. Their rb had a long td called back that would have iced the game for them, but a phantom hold brought it back. I remember watching the replay and giggling to myself.
