Boise State BCS Bowl Bound

Official bids don't go out for a week, but if the Associated Press is right, Boise State is going to the BCS.

NCAA Football - Boise State Broncos/Nevada Wolf Pack Recap Saturday November 25, 2006 - Yahoo! Sports
By SCOTT SONNER, Associated Press Writer
November 25, 2006

Ian Johnson ran for 147 yards and three touchdowns and Jared Zabransky passed for 299 yards to lead Boise State to a 38-7 win over Nevada on Saturday, wrapped up a spot in the Bowl Championship Series for the unbeaten Broncos.

Zabransky completed 20-of-27 passes, including a 45-yard TD to Legedu Naanee for the Broncos (12-0, 8-0 in the Western Athletic Conference), who are 39-1 in the WAC since 2002 and have won at least a share of the league title five years in a row.

"This is the most dominant team in WAC history," conference commissioner Karl Benson told the Broncos after the game.

They entered the day 11th in the BCS standings and have to finish No. 12 or better to automatically qualify for one of the big-money bowls. They will become only the second team from a non-BCS league to play in the BCS after Utah reached the 2004 Fiesta Bowl out of the Mountain West Conference.

The BCS bids go out Dec. 3. Expect Boise State to get an invite to the Fiesta Bowl to face the Big 12 champion. Officials from the Fiesta and Orange bowls watched Saturday's game from the press box.

"This team is worthy of a BCS bowl," Fiesta Bowl president John Junker told the Broncos in the locker room afterward. "You'll have to wait a week, but we'll be getting ready for you in the Valley of the Sun."

Re: Boise State BCS Bowl Bound

CBS Sportsline is predicting Boise State will play Oklahoma (or Nebraska if they win the Big 12 title) in the Fiesta Bowl, either way, I'll give Boise State props for what they've accomplished this season, but I just can't see them beating either of these Big 12 teams.

And I wish the NCAA would do something about that inane blue field...its difficult to watch a game being played on that field.

Re: Boise State BCS Bowl Bound

Wow, much congratulations to Boise State. Just like Utah a couple of years ago they did a great job to go undefeated and will deserve that BCS bid. I only wish they would add a tougher non-conference schedule. If they really want respect they have to go out and earn it, play some tough games on the road. Remember Fresno State of a few years ago? They went out and played at a good Oregon State team, they played USC, they got respect. If Boise State would get out and play a Big Ten or SEC team on the road (and I don't mean Mississippi State or Illinois, no offense) like Penn State, Michigan, Tennessee, or even Florida. I know they have a trouble getting these games because frankly I feel these teams don't want to schedule Boise State, but until they are able to play some tougher games out of conference, I feel they won't earn full respect.
