Who would give Boise State the toughest test among BCS Top 14?

All this BCS nonsense has got me thinking: What team in the current BCS Top 14 would give the Broncos the most trouble? Is there any team that Boise State simply could not beat?
Join me after the jump for a breakdown of the Top 14 and my ranking of which schools pose the toughest test for the Broncos. Please share your own list in the comments. I love a good BYU bashing.
The BCS announced yesterday that 16 teams remain under consideration for BCS bowls. The list is essentially the Top 14 from the BCS standings in addition to conference championship game participants Nebraska and Clemson.
I am going to throw out the Huskers and Tigers from the following list because I do not consider them elite teams. (You'll see later on that I don't consider some of the BCS Top 14 to be elite teams, but they are at least ranked in the Top 14.) The rest of these teams make up what college football deems to be the best teams in the country. How would Boise State fare against each? Let's take a look.
(Helmet logos courtesy www.nationalchamps.net)
No. 1 Florida. Undefeated but not without their problems, the Gators have the most athletes per capita of any team in college football. Throw in Urban Meyer's strangely effective offense and a super fast defense, and it is easy to see why the Gators are one of the nation's top teams. Burning question: Does Tim Tebow scare anyone?
No. 2 Alabama. Arguably the Crimson Tide have played better football than the Gators all season long. Though QB play is sketchy at times, the Tide boast Heisman candidate Mark Ingram and monolith DT Terrence Cody. Burning question: Did Nick Saban's team lose some luster after last year's blowout by Utah?
No. 3 Texas. Ah, the Longhorns. National championship contender by default. The Big XII is down this season, and UT has benefited. Colt McCoy and Jordan Shipley are good offensive weapons, but Texas has yet to put together an outstanding, championship-caliber game. And it's getting pretty late. Burning question: How many points would the Texas defense give up to Houston?
No. 4 TCU. The Horned Frogs have established themselves as the best non-BCS team, which is quite a feat considering how well Boise State has played this season. Fast, physical, skilled, and disciplined on both sides of the ball, TCU might very well be the best complete team in the country. Burning question: Is Gary Patterson the best coach in Division I-A?
No. 5 Cincinnati. The Bearcats are victims of a particularly cruel type of BCS injustice. Cincinnati belongs to an automatic qualifying conference, but the BCS system has essentially Jim Crow'ed the Big East out of serious national championship consideration. In other words, the Big Six conference are equal except when the BCS says they aren't. Regardless, Cincinnati has a potent offense and solid coaching that makes them a tough opponent. Burning question: How would the Broncos have done in the Big East?
No. 6 Boise State. I know that Boise State cannot play itself, but humor me for a moment. How would Boise State's offense fare against Boise State's defense? Consider it a Blue & Orange Game redux. Which one would you take?
No. 7 Oregon. The Ducks showed signs of being a real force to be reckoned with until a loss to Stanford. Still, steady improvement since Week One makes Oregon one of the hottest teams in the country. Burning question: Which defense will show up on any given week?
No. 8 Ohio State. The mere thought of the Buckeyes in another BCS game makes me nappy - this Ohio State team especially. Yes, there's Terrelle Pryor and such, but Ohio State has had that overrated stench all season long. They'll cause some problems for somebody, but the problems are ones that can be easily solved. Burning question: How overhyped was that USC-Ohio State game in hindsight?
No. 9 Iowa. Losing Ricky Stanzi hurt Iowa's final finish, but not even their head coach believed they were BCS material along the way. Here's another take:
Whether Stanzi returns from a nasty ankle sprain or not, the Hawks are are clearly overmatched at virtually every position by the talent-rich Broncos. In fact, the 2010 Fiesta Bowl has the makings of this year's big BCS blowout game. This will undoubtedly be the first BCS game in which a team from a non-AQ conference is listed as the favorite.
Burning question: How much would Boise State be favored by?
No. 10 Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets were a lot scarier a week ago, but following a defeat to Georgia, a little bit of the mystique is gone off of Paul Johnson's triple option attack. When GT is executing properly, they are nearly impossible to stop. Expect Johnson to figure out a counter to the Georgia-style defense and be a force in bowl season. Burning question: Would you be okay if Boise State moved to a triple option (with different personnel of course)?
No. 11 Penn State. I can't remember the last time I took the Nittany Lions as a serious BCS contender. Maybe 2008? Regardless, here they are, so they must be doing something right. PSU typifies the Big Ten style of consistently ignorable football, but they do have playmakers in Evan Royster and Darryl Clark. Burning question: Remember Ki-Jana Carter?
No. 12 Virginia Tech. Boise State will get a crack at the Hokies next season, and I think next year's VT will be even better than this year's. An early BCS candidate, VaTech fell on some hard times. Still, they have the defense and special teams to hang with any team in the country, and if the offense comes together - look out. Burning question: Did you watch the Florida State - Virginia Tech national championship game a ton of years ago? The Michael Vick one?
No. 13 LSU. The SEC schedule exposed the Tigers as not quite upper echelon, but they are still pretty good. Burning question: How nervous can you be if LaTech nearly beat them?
No. 14 BYU. Why are they even under consideration for a BCS bowl? The Cougars are much worse than the pollsters give them credit for. Non-BCS teams have to earn a right to play in the BCS. BYU hasn't. Burning question: Doesn't Max Hall's head look small in his helmet?
How would you rank the above teams in order of how tough they would play the Broncos? Here's my list. Share yours in the comments.
(Listed in reverse order so as to build anticipation and such.)
- 13. Iowa.
- 12. BYU. The only reason they are not listed No. 14 is because the Broncos would have an easier time getting up for a BCS opponent than they would a non-BCS school like BYU. Take Oregon, for instance.
- 11. Virginia Tech.
- 10. LSU.
- 9. Penn State. I think Boise State would be very competitive in the Big Ten. The Broncos' style would cause all sorts of problems in that conference.
- 8. Ohio State.
- 7. Cincinnati.
- 6. Texas.
- 5. Oregon.
- 4. Florida.
- 3. Georgia Tech.
- 2. Alabama.
- 1. TCU. I think the Horned Frogs would give Boise State the toughest test, which is probably why I think they are the best team in the country. I watched what they can do to the Broncos last bowl season, and the TCU team I've seen this year is even better.

* TCU – I don’t put anything past the BCS selection committee, including coming up with this matchup. I think it would be draw without the David vs. Goliath cachet it would need. Without a doubt the Broncos toughest test is TCU or Florida. Call it Goliath vs. Goliath.
* SEC #2 – Be it Florida or ‘Bama, this is next in line for most probable. Nick Saban would despise this matchup. Especially when he went 0-2 against NAQ schools in the Superdome. That is why this one is third, the first two are much more likely IMO. Florida’s defense would be a real test for the Bronco offense. Not one I’m positive they could pass…? For that reason this could be a pick because BCS homers desperately want to see Boise State exposed.
Most Improbable:
* BYU – Are you kidding? Not only would they get lit up, they don’t belong on this list.
* Cincinnati – First, I don’t think they get past Pitt this weekend. Second, I don’t see the Broncos getting an Orange Bowl bid. Third, I would hate this matchup because it might end up like the 2004 Liberty Bowl, minus the late Zabransky INT.
* LSU – Being on this list is akin to BYU being on it. They can’t qualify with Florida and ’Bama ahead of them anyway. Even if they could, they lose to the Broncos by 2 TDs, vastly overrated.
Boise State - The best in all the land (The "land" being Idaho, and large parts of California, Oregon, and Nevada.)
It cut off my the first part? Most Probable:
* Iowa – IMO, If Boise State gets a BCS bid it will be against a BIG10 team. Namely Iowa, because they beat Penn State head to head and I value that, call me crazy.

How do you think Boise State would fare against Florida's offense?
"Only film the ones that are standing, Kenneth." - Tony Perkis
no way they would put tcu and bois state in same bcs bowl
ari fleischer would spend 24 hours a day defending why teams like forida, alabama and texas would not play them. the public pressure would be too great for them to do this. the bcs would be a complete failure if tcu would meet bsu. it would look like the so called big boys were avoiding the mid majors. there would be no explanation sufficient to the mass media. they would be crucified on espn, foxsports, usa today, etc etc. most likely scenario would be tcu vs alabama and boise state vs cincy.

I dont think Penn State could hang with us

"dont talk about it, be about it"
I think TCU might just be the toughest challenge
Thats something i would have never thought, but man there impressive!
"dont talk about it, be about it"
I'm Glad TCU/BSU Is Not Likely
I have thought, for some time now, that TCU may be the best team in the country. So, yeh, I agree with you, Kevan, TCU would be the toughest test for the Broncos. It wouldn’t be a cakewalk with Georgia Tech, Alabama, or Texas either.
If I listed the teams in order, the list would look just like Kevan Lee’s, except I would switch Georgia Tech, and Alabama. I have a feeling BSU would have a hard time defending Georgia Tech.
I’m kinda hoping BSU plays Iowa, because the Broncos have a great chance of beating them, and the Broncos will not be at full strength for their bowl game.
Coming off a 14-0 year would put Boise State as high as #1 (Pat Forde) in next year’s preseason rankings. Yep, I know, I never agree with sports writers unless they say something outrageously good about the Broncos.
I agree Tito_ something about TCU; every time i see them they look better, and they started off good
tvmunson
Agreed
TCU scares me more than any other team. I hope we don’t end up playing them. Not because they’re so good but I think BSU will earn more respect against a BCS team.
"Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon... with nail polish."
That too
It wouldsuck to play a non_BCS, no matter how good. I want to play the teams that we never dreamed we’d play back in the day. We already played one; I’d include on that list (w/o ref to liklehood) Texas. Ala., florida, Penn,LSU.
tvmunson
This is really hard for me to say.
The teams I absolutely do not want to play.
SEC #2
TCU
Anyone else I think we handle confidently.
There is no way we play TCU and it has nothing to do with non-AQ’s playing the big boys. No bowl would put two teams that they claim “don’t travel well” together. Even though it would sell out and be a great game it won’t happen. I hope

your wrong. it woud be a pr nigtmare.
the attendance for va tech/ cincy game was awful. that was two aq bcs teams. it would be for exactly the reason i said. the key word AVOIDANCE. coach saban, coach kelly, coach paterno , and coach ferantz why did they not put you up against one of the two mid majors. same with commish delaney, commish slive why are you avoiding these teams. just them hearing bcs buster must drive them crazy. this would be four times worse. peace

The only thing BCS bowls care about is $$$$.
I hate to disagree, and there is no doubt that these BCS coaches/teams/AD’s/ conference commisioners are scared of us, and although I agree that not letting BSU into a BCS game would be a PR nightmare if it happened two years in a row, I am going to disagree.
Last year we didn’t go to a BCS game for two reasons; the BCS bowls’ selection committee’s thought that more Ohio State fans would travel than BSU fans, and the TV ratings for every NON-AQ to play in a BCS Bowl has been the worst of all BCS games in the given year. No BCS bowl committee would put BSU and TCU together for financial reasons.
Was that convincing? Should we just agree to disagree?
Peace
by BSUTHROWBALLFOREVER on Dec 2, 2009 8:04 PM PST up reply actions
yes we will agree to disagree but what i was saying was in the orange bowl
they had two teams from aq bcs conferences and they did not even come close to a sellout. i’ll bet boise state would have sold all their alloted tickets to a game with cincy or va tech. i just think boise state has some serious loyal fans. if you had not noticed the 11-0 cincinnatti bearcats do not even have a blog on this site. they could play possibly for the ncg and nobody has gotten a blog on here. i find that truly amazing. they were good last year too. and yes ohio state fans are loyal but a very disapointed bunch and when they play oregon in the rose bowl expect more of the same. i want tcu vs bama/florida in sugar bowl and bsu can steamroll penn state or iowa in the fiesta. works for both of us. peace.

Lets just hope Texas can handle Nebraska
If Nebraska wins that game, we have a different conversation. Everyone seems to be writing them off, I’m not so sure. Nebraska’s defense isn’t bad. Last year Texas won by 3 points.
This would be bad news for Boise State. Yes, I’m worried.
If we DO go to a BCS bowl
I’m going to be pissed if I hear more phrases like “can the little dog run with the big dog” or can “David slay Goliath?”
Occasionally I rewatch the Fiesta Bowl but I want to hurl every time I hear the announcers refer to Boise State is the “little guy.”
"Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon... with nail polish."
umm
Werent we the little guy? Any situation I see us ending up with we won’t be this year… except the very small chance we end up playing the sec #2…
Old enough to know better, too young to care.
Yeah this is in hindsight
In the Fiesta Bowl, yeah, BSU was the little guy. Now? Not so much. I’m just saying I’m going to get annoyed if I have to hear that constantly now.
"Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon... with nail polish."
"And David hurls the first stone...and it hits Goliath square in the chest!"
That’s not the way I remember it?
Boise State - The best in all the land (The "land" being Idaho, and large parts of California, Oregon, and Nevada.)
I'm glad you recognize Ga Tech.
Even though I called the Georgia upset, this ACC team is less over-rated than the rest. The trippple option can be defended, but I’m not sure that our Boise defense would match up well with it. In some respects, I think that the Ga Tech offense would be THE hardest team we could face, this includes the SEC’s and TCU. Luckily, we would be able to handle their defense. So, like Kevan, I would put them at #2 or #3 on the teams mostly unlikely that we could defeat. TCU is at the top of that list just because they match up so well with us. And while I believe that ’Bama and the Gators would give us a great game, they have both looked very beatable numerous times this season.

"Burning question: Would you be okay if Boise State moved to a triple option (with different personnel of course)?"
I love watching a good option offense play, maybe because it was what we ran my last year of high school, but it’s just a lot of fun to watch (assuming the team is good at it, of course). Probably due to the novelty more than anything (since
essentially no one in the NFL runs it) That being said, pretty unlikely to see it at BSU while KM is the QB. And I’m A-OK with that too.
Mariners/D Broncos/BSU Broncos fan in Seattle
Injury prone.
The option is exciting to watch but the reality is that it creates a lot of east to west running on the field. This creates gobs of opportunity for injury, that is why the pros do not run it. Defenses have just gotten too big and fast in tracking it down.
UO runs the spread offense as you know, now that one can work but you have to find a QB that can handle it.
BSU is in great shape with KM staying the pocket throwing and handing off the ball. I would like to see BSU pick up a 240 lb. fullback for red zone play and of course the two point conversion.

Georgia Tech #3???
I pretty much agree with your list except Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech as a team doesn’t scare me against Boise State. Yes they run a novelty offense in the triple option, but that’s about it.
Boise State does an excellent job stopping unique offenses. They schemed well against Oregon and Nevada, both run heavy offenses. They have schemed well in the past against Hawaii and New Mexico St. (not that NMSU has ever been very scary), both pass heavy offenses.
Boise State, this year especially, has struggled more on defense against balanced offenses. When teams have been able to run and pass on the Broncos, they have scored and had more success.
Georgia Tech’s defense has been nothing to call home about either this year. Give Justin Wilcox a month to plan for the triple option and I think Georgia Tech struggles.
If Jacory Harris can pick apart the Georgia Tech defense, Kellen Moore might obliterate records against them. Even if the Broncos struggled defensively against Georgia Tech, the Yellow Jackets wouldn’t be able to put up enough points to keep up with Kellen Moore and Co.

Great comment
I thought a lot about BSU’s ability to stop unique offenses. That is a great point. The deciding factor for me was that the Broncos have struggled with physical running games in the past (namely TCU last year).
Where would you put GT? Behind Florida? Behind Oregon?
"Only film the ones that are standing, Kenneth." - Tony Perkis
Kevan-your inclusion of Boise State v Boise State which I initally thought was
gratuitous on further reflection was not, and contains ominous undertones. After careful consideration I feel that w/o Austin, the nod goes to our D. With AP 100%, nod goes to the O. The implications are obvious. Anyone else sense this?
tvmunson
I would put GT somewhere around Cinci & Ohio St.
It seems to me that BSU has struggled more against physical running teams that can also pass the ball. Last year against TCU Dalton completed 22 passes for just under 200 yards. TCU ran for 275 yards but only scored 17 points. Oregon couldn’t complete a pass to save their lives in the game this year and they couldn’t run the ball It was similar in the game last year against Oregon too. Until their 20th string QB game in and started hitting some passes, then Oregon was able to score points.
To me it seems the Broncos struggle more against teams that are more balanced and able to make plays with the run and pass. The only time Nevada was able to move the ball well (outside of the one 72 yards TD run by Taua) was when Kaepernick was able to complete passes. Idaho ran the ball well because Reader was able to complete passes. Utah St was able to move the ball and score early while Borel was making plays in the passing game. When the Broncos adjusted and contained his passes the Aggies offense stalled.
TCU and Florida are the scariest matchups to me. Not just their offense (though both are really balanced) but their defenses too. Alabama would probably be 3rd because of the D (especially if Pettis can’t go) but I wouldn’t be as worried about their offense as TCU and Florida.

Anybody right now. We are beat up.
We need to play Iowa, it may be that we can hang with them in our current condition. Just too many injuries.
A side note: show some respect for the programs we are rubbing helmets with. We did not join the 1-A division until 1996 and the WAC in 2001. Gobs of the programs we play are over 100 years old.
BSU may have to consider being an independent like they were in 1968? Worked once might work again?

Maybe, but it would be great to have something to do with our destiny?
It just pains me to go undefeated and sit around and hope for some stupid team that I do not even like to win or lose. There should be playoff for the undefeated this year, what a group of idiots that are running this thing. My kids little league has more parity and fairness than this crap.

Side note
In the event of Texas beating Nebraska, the Fiesta is almost certainly taking a Big Ten at large (Iowa or Penn State) to get the fan base that comes with that to replace the Longhorns. In that case, a Boise State-TCU match up becomes impossible. The Sugar will take SEC #2 to replace SEC #1 and the Orange is tied with the ACC champ, so Big Ten in the Fiesta prevents Frogs-Broncos from happening.
After the Sugar and Fiesta take title game participant replacements, the selection order goes Orange-Fiesta-Sugar. The Orange is probably reluctant to take a team from Idaho due to distance, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see TCU go there. Cincy was just at the Orange last year and they brought about no one to the game, so a repeat trip is unlikely. The Fiesta would probably then take Boise State to try to recapture the good vibes of ’06 (and avoid the no-showing Cincy fan base), which leaves the Bearcats for the Sugar.
Personally, I like BSU versus either Big Ten team. By a touchdown or two even.

You rock Year2! rec'd
I would really like to see TCU play Alabama in the Sugar, that would be a much better match up. Depending on who the ACC sends, it could be a rematch of TCU vs Clemson, I don’t think many people would be too excited about that! I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.
Catch me on the BroncoNation Podcast!
Yeah
I forgot about the possibility of TCU-Clemson in the Orange. That would not happen.
Clemson going to the Orange Bowl does open the possibility of a Miami new year’s for BSU though. Clemson sends a small army of people to bowl games. They even have a gimmick where a lot of the fans tip hotels and restaurants with $2 bills stamped with their Tiger paw logo to reinforce to the local businesses how much impact they make.
With Clemson, the Orange won’t want the rematch. They probably wouldn’t want Cincinnati again thanks not only to the low fan count but the high probability of Brian Kelly being gone to Notre Dame by then. Besides, Boise State has more national cachet than Cincy does anyway.

Clemson did the tiger paw thing when the came to Boise a few years back...
if they can bring that many fans to a cold weather bowl, I imagine they will show very well if they make it to Miami.
BSU attendance might be a little ‘meh’ if they go to the Orange bowl – just because of the distance. If they go to the Fiesta, I will be there, but Miami is a maybe at best. I am sure there are thousands of other fans with the same thought.

native iowan located in boise
if you really think boise state outmatches iowa at every position you are in for a bit of a surprise. the broncos have a great offense (i’ve watched most games) but iowa’s defense is certainly good enough to match up and i believe it will lead iowa to a victory.
i’ll take iowa by 6.

I wasn’t the one who wrote that the Broncos have an advantage at every position, but I do think they match up well against the Hawkeyes. How do you see Iowa’s O versus Boise State’s D? I think that might be the deciding factor.
"Only film the ones that are standing, Kenneth." - Tony Perkis
with robinson and stanzi back and healthy, i think iowa can and will run on bsu. moeaki is a future all-pro tight end and will cause match up problems for bsu linebackers and the secondary. mcnutt v. kyle wilson will be a fun matchup to watch.
iowa’s front 4 and linebackers easily have an advantage over boise state’s o-line, TE crew and running backs. i think you’d be hard pressed to find any decent analyst in the country (the guy who wrote the piece you linked to doesn’t count. and if you don’t agree with morons, don’t link to them.)
for me, this game comes down to bsu’s ability to beat iowa deep and keep those in the box off balance. moore is an excellent decision maker and avoids making poor throws. he will need those skills as he will be facing more pressure than he’s faced all year. containing titus young will be the key for iowa.
i think iowa is a lot better than you’re giving them credit for and this will be a great game just like the last fiesta bowl. a couple big plays on defense will carry this one for the hawks.

Is this the same Iowa
that deserves more credit because they overwhelmed Arkansas State, Northern Iowa, Michigan and Michigan St. by a combined 8 points before losing to Northwestern? I don’t mean to put down your team, but I think you’re giving Iowa more credit than they deserve.
Boi Blue
the same iowa
that went 10-2. the same iowa that beat penn state away. the same iowa that would have beat ohio state away with a backup qb except for a missed 20 yard field goal.
i’ll admit iowa doesn’t make it look pretty and has definitely struggled but they win.
and we are talking about the same bsu team that couldn’t stop a nevada offense that couldn’t throw the ball. cover 0 and they still ran all over the place.
the deal with you bsu fans is most of you don’t watch much other football. how many iowa games did you watch?where does bsu match up favorably? who will cause iowa problems? i’m actually curious what you think but i don’t think any of you have watched enough hawkeye games to provide much commentary.

Actually.
Because of your previous ranking, we’ve been watching A LOT of Iowa football. I count at least 5 games.
It’s ok to believe in your team. You’re never wrong in that. But to try and state your case on a Bronco blog. Good luck.

I watched the...
Indiana game. Indiana sucked. Iowa sucked. And the refs sucked even more than that. I’ve caught bits of other games, but to be honest they bored me. I think Boise matches up well against Iowa because we are much faster and more athletic. I think we don’t match up well with the weight of our players versus yours. I don’t want to play Iowa because I think we win the game, and get no credit on a national perspective because Iowa is Iowa and plays in the big11.

I think you guys are going to make me cry. Iowa guy is crazy, Boise wins by 21 minimum if they play Iowa, even without Pettis.
