If you are going to refuse to allow certain teams a chance to "earn" it, then you can't claim to be the best team nation.
That is like if the Houston Texans went undefeated, but they were rejected from the playoffs because they hadn't "earned" anything because they are a new franchise.
What you did in the past has no bearing on the team you field in the future.

Seriously, from Boise's perspective they want 1 season-opening "validating" win, then 11 games of cream-puffs.
If they want to be taken seriously, then they need 4 games on the road against BCS conference opponents. That's the same road schedule as the BCS conference teams HAVE to play every year within their conference (unless you're in the Pac-12, then some years you have 5).
If Boise played . . . .let's say @Michigan State, got North Carolina at a neutral site, then played @ Arky and @ . . . . let's say Stanford and then swept those games, then I could see them being legit NC contenders.
The issue isn't whether the Broncos can handle a BCS conf. team in a 1-game shot; obviously they've proven they can. What they haven't shown is the ability to hold up against the grind of a BCS conference season; back to back to back tough, physical games. For instance, Michigan State played @Ohio State, Michigan, Wisconsin and @Nebraska in a row this season, wiht a bye between @tOSU and the Michigan game. Show me a Boise State team that has faced anything like that, and that's to say nothing of what the SEC teams face every week.

As an Arkansas fan I have not heard anything about us playing Texas. We had a 10 year deal in place to play A&M in Jerry world, now that they are in the SEC we're not sure if it will be home and home or still in Jerry world.
Boise wants teams to pay them to travel. I have seen links to reports that Boise has turned down numerous offers from larger schools because they wanted the schools to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for Boise to play them. Before any one asks, no I don't know where the links are, I've seen them on other boards.

Texas had a home and home with Arkansas in 2008 and 2009. Texas kicked the crap out of Arkansas in 2008. It was 52-10 but it wasn't as close as the score would imply. Arkansas begged off of the 2009 game, postponing it to 2011. Then they cancelled that one too. I think it is scheduled for 2020 now.
Texas has always beaten Arky like a drum, but it was once a far bigger rivalry game than Texas/Texas A&M. Not close to the OU rivalry mind you but far bigger than A&M. Arkansas has been in the SEC for almost 20 years and they still don't have a rivalry game.

That would be the man that was the athletic director and former coach of Arkansas for the past 50 years. The one that actually knows what a real rivalry is. Not some schmuck that was in summer camp at the time and who spouts off on a message board. You know, that man.

Hmm, I am the one that came up with solid facts to knock down your silly assertion. You seem to be about 14-15. Dogged in your views but lacking the intellect to make your points. Give it time, little one. And no, not name calling. Merely stating the obvious.
