There may be 50 to 100 teams better than Boise State. They killed Oregon and went on the road and beat an ok Fresno team scoring over 50. They are what they are and it is likely they are going undefeated again which many people don't like. I hope they lose so the whining won't get out of control again about the non-BCS schools. Kellen Moore is a great "college" quarterback. They aren't going to lose however. Gonna be fun.

Again, it's not about which team is better so I'm not going to get into a debate about how good Boise is versus how good Fresno is. Neither team, to me, is relevant to the big picture. The conversation was which game would be a bigger game and I still believe that a game that will probably decide the Pac-10 champion and their BCS bid and possibly a berth in the title game is a bigger game than any Boise St. game. That's not saying Oregon or USC is better. That's a different conversation.
