How can a team be crowned into the BCS title game after 1 game?

Boise has proven time and time again that they can win and play with the big boys... but if you are essentially given a slot in the national title game, after one game, than you do not play in a strong enough conference to earn that slot.

End. Of. Story.

Weak. Old. Argument.
 
I don't think thats it at all.. Its the fact that from today on, their schedule is cake... aside from Oregon State... they will coast, plain and simple.
 
Boise State just went into what essentially was a bigger version of Lane Stadium, and won the game with less than two minutes to go.

But for some people, I guess that isn't good enough.
 
Boise St.'s offense and overall offensive philosophy ias what a state of the art balanced attack looks like. I'd rather play Alabama than Boise.

They did it one time. Every other National Champions has to do that more than once. Plus the Hokies may not be that great.
 
As long as there are at least two BCS teams unbeaten, then BSU will not be in the title game.
 
SR - there is nothing weak about that argument. The reason it is old is because they have done nothing to dissuade anyone from that argument.

The fact of the matter is that no one in their conference can beat them, and no one else in their conference could possibly do what they do.

I am not saying that they are not a great team, they clearly are. But I am saying that Iowa going 7-1 with their schedule this year is a much more impressive feat.

How is it a weak, old argument if it's true? If Iowa only had to play two games all year I think they would be undefeated too. BSU is a very good team, but if there's an undefeated team from a BCS conference there is no way BSU should jump them. I'd be irate if Iowa finishes undefeated and BSU goes to the NCG over us. Just shouldn't happen.

I have to agree with the OP. VT replaced 7 starters on defense. So, BSU beating them equals the national title game??? BSU only plays Oregon State and they're essentially in the National Title game.

That doesn't make sense to me. I'm not taking anything away from their final drive, but VT didn't exactly set the world on fire in the first quarter. They were horrible. However, the narrative is such that if BSU wins, they are a legit title contender. They couldn't stop talking about the national championship game. Unbelievable.

I do think BSU is really good. However, I can't count how many times I heard "national championship" tonight in this first week of SEPTEMBER. lame.

If you're referring to winning the game, they do that every time they play a team from a BCS conference.

Boise is legit.
 
Even if there first or second in the polls the computer polls will keep them out, because of there strength of schedule. But if there isn't 2 undefeated BCS teams, then I think they get in.
 
They once again proved themselves worthy of their recognition. My issue is that lets say Iowa would have come in and beat VT tonight. We would be through the roof right now but Iowa would still have the B10 to deal with.

With 1 win they punched their ticket. Iowa's weakest B10 game (Minnesota or Indiana because there on the road) offer more of a challenge than BSU's toughest conference opponent.

If they run the table again and are 27-0 the last two season going into the bowl season the BCS will have to let them in, otherwise it will destroy any credibility they have.

No it wouldn't. They are 27-0 and have beaten like three ranked teams during that time. Letting them in when other teams would have beaten much better teams would destroy credibility.

I love the underdog as much as anyone and would love it if someone new was in the title game but letting them in with that schedule when other teams have beaten better teams just wouldn't be right.
 
Boise is not legit. They suck. They lose 3-4 games, at least, in any BCS conference. Refs blew two huge calls in the final 2 minutes that went in favor of these scrubs. If, and it is a HUUUGGGEEE if, these guys keep Iowa from doing what we want to do later this season, it will be the biggest joke in the history of college football.
