Well, we could include never losing to Oregon, wide open style of play, excellent defense, high entertainment factor, willing to travel anywhere, and the ability to piss off LaGarrette Blount.

So, why have you guys dropped off the map?

We haven't. The team hasn't made any top bowls lately, but year after year, ranked in the top 25 (#15 right now at 4-0), and quietly winning. But we get it, the big guys still consider us little brother. But that makes it more fun when the team kicks some big school's ass.

Top 5 past 10 years on the West Coast (pac conference championship wins past 10 years)
1. Oregon (4)
2. Washington (2)
3. Stanford (3)
4. Boise State
5. USC (1)

Which is a good argument for letting Boise State into the pac. Balance them by adding BYU to the south. The pac could use the attention and new fan bases.

Boise St. doesn't meet the academic requirements as in they don't offer near enough undergrad degree programs.

 

[AlaskaGuy]

You almost had me until you said stanfurd.

Stanford has more PAC-12 championships than any other PAC school. They are 3 - 1 in PAC-12 championship games.

Not to mention the PAC isn't going to let a religious school in.

'We don't want you here': Note left to former Boise State kicker Tyler Rausa says to go back to California

Love the PAC snobbery.

Apparently you didn't read the post in the quote I was replying to.

Easily top 5 the last 10 years. Name 4 better

Boise
Oregon
Washington
USC
Utah??

That's a quick list off the top of my head and in no particular order but Boise is easily in there

Generally in order to be a top 5 team on the west coast you have to beat some of the top tier schools on the west coast. Boise has one win in the last 5 years against a decent West Coast school.

UCLA this week.

Ya, but you got boat raced by Alabama and had an abuser who won you the Rose Bowl.

Thanks for reminding me. Last PAC team to win the Rose Bowl.

 

[Berkeley_Blues2.0]

Since when? This year? Last 5 years? All time?

If it's this year, not including Oregon is kind of silly considering they just beat Stanford on the road.

If it's the last 5 years, not saying Washington or Oregon is silly.

If it's all time, not saying USC is just flat out stupid.

Really? Boise State just kicked the shit out of Florida State on your home turf a couple weeks ago. Spotted FSU 21 point lead and total domination. You team quit on themselves in the 2nd. Pathetic. So your ass is understandably still very red.

FACTS: Boise has smoked Oregon 3 consecutive games including a beat down in a Bowl game year before last . Washington? okay maybe?, they split with Boise State the last couple games and they have Boise State coaches. But in that regard Washington is just an extension of Boise State. USC is and has been a fucking joke this decade. You obviously are blowing shit outta pie hole when it comes to West Coast football.

FACTS IS FACTS Gomer. No go fuck yourself

What fan bases? Boise isn't going to expand either the TV revenue nor the recruiting grounds and isn't BYU already close enough to the Utes to not really add a new market there either?

Neither of those does a damned thing for the Pac.

We can talk about academics, endowment size, and plenty of other reasons, but Boise not having a large enough footprint for new viewers is about as big of a blow to their chances as the rest of those.

 

[TheDayMan]

BYU is too conservative for the P12, and they will use academic snobbery to block Boise (kind of like the ACC did with WVU just prior to adding the Harvard of the Midwest, Louisville).

‘Academic snobbery’ is only part of the ‘they bring literally nothing to the table but a decent football program’ equation.
