If they played 90% of their games at home....and beat teams like new Mexico St. and San Jose St. by 3 points every time....maybe.

Fair enough. They are a very good team. This isn't an original idea by any means, but if any of the top 10 teams played their schedule the results would be the same. I'd like to see how they would stack up in the SEC year in and year out.

True. They deserve credit for winning the big games they have in recent years (Oklahoma, Oregon, TCU, VA Tech, etc) but it is obviously a whole lot easier to get up for a couple of big games a year than it is to play the grinding season that SEC or Big 12 South teams have faced in recent years.
In those conferences you could beat the 3 teams that are supposed to be the tough games and still lose a game to a solid team like Oklahoma St or Auburn. If Boise wins their 3 toughest games, they only have to beat poor WAC teams the rest of the way.

But still, it really is amazing that they have built a program like that given that they are in Idaho, have no tradition, and play in the WAC conference. Incredible. If they go undefeated, I hope they get a shot at the National Championship over a one-loss team from a major conference. They might not be better, but it would be cool to see them get a shot. If two teams emerge undefeated from one of the major conferences, however, they should obviously be picked over Boise.
