The thing is Boise will play a BCS game and may even win it. They are a good team.
But...let them play in a major conference like the SEC where there are few breathers on the schedule, and every team is physical. They have talent 1 deep, but it doesn't go the 2-3 deep that you need in the power conferences.
That's the difference between Ohio St, Florida, Texas, Okla, Mich, etc. Their 2nd teamers could start at most schools and they provide solid depth.
