Boise State Might, Finally, Have a Chance
By Eddie Mayrose
After years of controversy regarding the BCS exclusion of Mid-Major conferences from 
consideration for the BCS Championship game, Boise State, the poster child for successful, smaller programs with title aspirations, looks to have its fate in its own hands. Ranked as high as #2 in major College Football polls as well as #1 by CollegeSportsView.com, the Broncos seem to be in a position to have a perfect season rewarded.
Led by legitimate Heisman hopeful Kellen Moore, Boise brings as much talent and depth to the table as any of the elite programs. Head Coach Chris Petersen is as innovative as any coach in the country, they play an up-tempo style on both sides of the ball and their blue field, (Smurf Turf) is just plain cool. Everything is in place for the Broncos to stake their claim to the College Football throne, if they can just get past Week One.
In the kind of matchup from which Boise never shies away, they’ll head to Virginia Tech to open the season against Frank Beamer’s highly rated Hokies; themselves featuring a Heisman front runner in Ryan Williams. It’s always a little risky to have your top rated team play their opener against a top opponent, as they may be knocked off their perch before the uniforms have been washed. However, we here at CollegeSportsView.com say, “Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead.” Boise is the pick to win it all.
