Hot Topic: Boise State


Boise State to the 'Ship?

Monday night's Boise State/Virginia Tech game was as exciting as everyone hoped it would be. Boise State needed this game to legitimize their number 3 ranking, and Virginia Tech needed this game to move up from their ranking, hopefully getting to the National Championship game.


Boise wins, but this is only the beginning of their battle. They still have a lot to prove in the battle of public opinion, where many still think because of their "weaker" conference schedule in the WAC, they should not be in consideration for the National Championship. It is too early to call if they will get to the #1 spot. Last season, almost every team that was in the #1 ranking managed to lose a game, and thus lose the ranking. The one thing we do know is that there is no way Boise State can lose any game this season, and preferably, they should win by as many points as they can in their victories.
If undefeated, do you think Boise State should have a spot in the National Championship game?
