"It's not the Pac-10, but Boise State posted an offer to play ANY big conference team in their stadium without a return game at home in Boise"
How many ranked teams did BSU play this year? 1? If Boise State wants to play with the big boys then they need to get out of the WAC. Nevada, Fresno State, Idaho, Hawaii, Louisanna Tech, Utah State, New Mexico State, San Jose State. Pleeze. If they don't want to get out of their conference contract they should push the WAC to get an agreement play their out of conference games against a major conference. For example Big Ten-MAC.
Boise is doing a lot of talk. But that is about it. They try to make it sound like they can't get an out of conference game. So teams will play USC, Ohio State, Georgia, LSU, Texas.. but they avoid Boise State? Nevada managed to play Notre Dame, Colorado State and Missouri. But Boise State's so good and they have to play teams like Bowling Green? Cal-Davis? Boise will schedule one or two decent teams then whine about how they are not respected.
Things are bit different when the top half of your conference is ranked in the top 20 every year. Boise State's championship expectations would be non existant in a major conference.
