It's now been a few days removed from Boise St's win in the Fiesta Bowl and this question keeps poppin up: Does 14-0 Boise St deserve a claim to this years National Title? There is no question that this team is very good and that they could come into a game and beat anyone. Boise St supporters will point to their 2007 Fiesta Bowl victory over Oklahoma and impressive wins this year over Oregon and TCU to prove that point. But does beating a 3 loss Oregon and Mountain West opponent TCU mean they deserve a title shot this year? Possibly.Lets see what other quality wins they have this year. Wait, they don't have any other quality wins. Some will say, hey they beat Nevada, a pretty good team with three 1,000 yard rushers. Then, i'd hope they remembered that Nevada was 8-4, lost to 6-6 Notre Dame 35-0 and got blown out by SMU in the Hawaii bowl. Okay,any others? How about Fresno State? I mean didnt they beat Illinois? Yes they did, but so did everybody else this year. 8-5 Fresno St a quality win? Anybody else? I wouldn't expect anyone to call wins against UC Davis,Bowling Green,Miami(OH),Idaho,New Mexico St, San Jose St,Hawaii, Utah st, and Louisiana Tech quality. None of this is really Boise St's fault but that doesnt mean we can ignore their horrible schedule and say they deserve a spot next to title contenders that have to deal with actual competition every week of the regular season. I'd tell Broncos they had a great season, even if it wasn't title worthy, and if they can run the table next year they will deserve a shot. Good luck Boise St.
