remember that everyone said boise st. didnt deserve to be in a bcs bowl game... until the beat oklahoma. up until last year boise st was a dangerous team with nothing to lose. no major school would play them because if they lost to boise st there would be no way that the team could get in the BCS and would drop like a stone in the rankings. dont think of it as a boise st wont play tough competition as much as tough competition wont play boise st. that being said they are being seen as a respectable team and you will start to see top tier teams play them. besides if you look at most of the top tier teams their non conference schedule is pretty pathetic as well. i will say though most of those teams play really tough conference schedules so weak NC schedules is not a huge deal.
