All of the other geniuses with whom I work have Boise St. ranked no higher than No. 4. This makes my colleagues as smart as everyone else involved in the debacle known as the BCS.

This is the same BCS that might be sued for violating anti-trust laws.

College football is approaching the dawn of its new day. No longer should Boise State, TCU, Utah or any other team from a “weak” conference be discriminated against because of its strength of schedule.

The Broncos have answered every question put forth thus far. It will continue to do so.

What happened in the Sugar Bowl a few years ago?

What happened is that Utah WAXED an Alabama team one year before the Crimson Tide won a National Championship.

Boise State hoped Virginia Tech would win out after losing to the Broncos on Labor Day. The Hokies’ loss to James Madison hurt. However, there is a letdown factor that was in play for that game. That game is over. Pay attention to what the Hokies do the rest of the season.

Did anyone else notice Virginia Tech’s victory over ranked North Carolina State last week? Keep paying attention.

And then there are the Oregon State Beavers. Sure, they are 2-2. But again, let’s see what happens.

Boise State has won two BCS games in the past four seasons. Boise State has been undefeated four of the past six years. Boise State rarely loses.

So the question should be why shouldn’t Boise St. be ranked No. 2.

And what about that pesky strength of schedule that so often sullies the dreams of the non-BCS team?

Well, as Stewart Mandel so brilliantly points out, according to CollegeBCS.com, Oregon’s SOS is 81.

Boise St … 32.
