I thought Wetzel's article was interesting and wanted to extrapolate on what else it would mean if it did happen. But he has one big assumption, that the voters follow their traditional patterns, which, if you read my Saturday Snoozer article ( http://www.deepintosports.com/2009/10/13/ncaa-col... ), they did not do this week.

As for mixing in a major non-conference opponent, I'm sure Boise would like to have more of those. It's not their fault. One of the great inequities of the system is that it's very difficult for good non-BCS schools to schedule major conference opponents. Look at all the cupcakes most of the BCS schools schedule in the first few weeks. Those pansies want to pad their stats prior to playing each other. The last thing they want to face is non-major conference competition that could kill their chances. Boise could very well be one of the best teams in the country, but their limited ability to schedule quality games doesn't allow them to prove it.

I think in addition to a playoff, the game needs to institute scheduling requirements for all schools.

Tell you what, that victory over Oregon looks better every week.

Congrats on another fine season, Boise, but mix in a major non-conference opponent in the regular season if you want any love from the gang that does the voting.
