Which is sad because the Mountain West is far better than the Big East (in football). There is no way the Big East should be AQ -- it's a really weak conferences and has been ever since Miami and VT left.

I forgot about that -- edited my post.

Still, I can't remember the last time Oklahoma won a BCS bowl.

The Boise State hate comes from their hypocritical, myopic, bandwagon riding fans who think college football wasn't played pre-2006.

They love to boast about their handful of highlights over the past few seasons while only acknowledging other team's failures. For example, their constant bashing of Ohio State for playing MAC teams and losing two NC games without acknowledging Ohio State's OOC series with Miami, Texas, USC, 5 bcs wins and a NC.

Ohio State is just one example, they cherry pick stats to try and appear superior to every major program. But if you dare bring up their losing bowl record, losing recrod against BCS teams, or weak schedule, they turn into babies and accuse you of being part of some "bcs elitist" conspiracy.

Good riddance.

Don't worry, I hate Ohio State and Oklahoma just the same.....

I'm not, sorry if it came across that way. My post was a response to "why do people hate BSU?". I was describing BSU fans.
