So what will happen when Boise State plays Ole Miss?

I think it will be a good game.

The Boise program, while still far from having the talent that, say, a Florida or ‘Bama has, has gotten a lot better since those beatdowns against UGA, USC, and Arkansas. Back then, it was a good mid-major program that could dominate its conference, but it couldn’t hang with BCS-level teams. That’s not the case anymore, as witnessed by their recent wins over ranked BCS teams. Their win over Oklahoma a few years ago put them on the map, so to speak, and they’ve been able to start putting together better recruiting classes. I expect that will continue both because of the program’s new visibility as well as the fact that their coach doesn’t appear to be interested in using the job as a stepping stone. I still don’t think they’re as talented as Ole Miss, but the difference is probably primarily one of depth, and with the game coming early in the season, depth might not come into play very much. All in all, the game has the makings of a classic. And you’d better believe that Boise will be gunning for the upset. They’re the team with nothing to lose here. If they lose the game, it just means they’ve not come as a far as we thought. If they win, though, it would be huge for them.

I’m not sure sure it would be considered an upset. Depending on how they finish out this year.

Given that Boise State looks like a preseason top ten team (and maybe top five team), has won two BCS bowls, and will look largely the same in 2011 as in 2010, it will likely be seen nationally as an upset if Ole Miss wins and not the other way around.

I'm excited for this game.

I hated playing Memphis at the beginning of every season. I was so nervous because we had a chance at losing to a team to which we had no business losing. Now, Boise State is a quality opponent. I have no clue what will happen in Oxford on that hot September day, but I like our chances. Nutt will have a year to break in a new quarterback and offense, and all of our offensive line starters will return for the following season which is always good. We won’t lose much on offense from the 2010 squad, but we’ll lose considerable amounts on the defensive side of the ball. Hopefully Kellen Moore doesn’t have a hay-day with our secondary.

That wasn't collusion

That was all the Fiesta Bowl trying to become the first non-championship game to have two undefeated teams. The order of selection for BCS at large teams went thusly:

*Sugar takes Florida to replace Bama
*Fiesta takes TCU to replace Texas
*Orange takes Iowa for the Big Ten fan base
*Fiesta takes Boise State for double undefeated status
*Sugar takes Cincinnati because no one’s left

Unless you’re asking the Sugar to give up having an SEC team or the Orange to select a smaller fan base from farther away, then things wouldn’t have changed. The arrangement sucked, but it wasn’t collusion.

I'm always reminded of the quote

That the Boise St. player made to a local newspaper the following year, when discussing an easier schedule and a better chance for going undefeated: (from memory) “At least we don’t have any dragons to slay, like Georgia last year.” I guess Oklahoma didn’t count (yes, that wasn’t “scheduled,” but give me my biases).

hawaii played two fcs schools the season they played georgia in sugar bowl. i guess the wac should stop playing the georgia bulldogs. although georgia has been a good bowl team for quite awhile.

I personally think FSU will win more games under jimbo fisher. that's b/c they were young last year

so i expect alot from FSU this year. Boise state did lose one assistant but let’s see what they do this year. I think if they beat va. tech. and don’t get the injury bug they will go undefeated again. That could be good news if they reach the bcs ncg for that year but they probably lose more than one assistant if that happens for the following year.
