Who would you rather watch BSU play?

PrintNoting the ESPN college football "theme of the week" has been about non-conference scheduling, I started thinking how nice it would be to play the big boys more often than not. Realizing that it's never going to happen as the larger, prominent schools (excluding Oregon -- thank you, Ducks) are never going to make a deal because BSU will require a home-and-home series, I set my hopes up for the post-season.
With that, I'd like to know what the 'Nation thinks about our post season opponent.
Personally, this is a tough decision myself. Almost immediately, I'd throw out Georgia... I just don't want to re-live that again for another decade. The redo with Oklahoma would be more of a lose-lose situation for the Broncos. Win and you've already done that, lose and you give the Sooners vindication.
The leftover options created quite a puzzle for me. So I've tried to rank them in order of most desired post-season bowl game:
4. As much as I would love to pummel Ohio State into the ground and make their annoying "we play after every snap" band shut-up, I'll have to drop this to fourth. Ohio State probably won't travel well if their opponent is of BSU caliber. Their fans would also be rock-headed when it comes to discussing the match-up. Besides, seeing the Broncos beating 'the' Ohio State 48-3 in a post-season game wouldn't be too appealing. With their track record, I doubt they're making a BCS bowl this season anyway.
3. I would love to play Florida, a Blue vs. Orange game, but I'd prefer this game be played only if it were in the NC game. Seeing as that is no doubt ever possible, I'll have to leave this at third.
2. I probably would have picked USC #1 if they still had Mark Sanchez or if they were more solid in the QB position. USC is a winning program, so no doubt they will have a good run this year again as well. But I just don't feel comfortable with seeing them as the solid PAC-10 juggernaut you see year in and year out. I'm picking Oregon and their little brother in Corvallis to beat them this year.
But still, regardless of their success (or predicted lack thereof [weird how a 2-3 loss season is a bad year for USC .. sounds familiar]), I'd like to see Coach Pete return to California and coach in the Rose Bowl against one of the most winningest programs in the decade.
1. Texas! I'm picking them with a Heisman winner and the most versatile Big 12 team (run, pass, defense) this season. The only down side to playing vs. Texas is that I don't hate them. It's hard to play a team and virtually spit in the face of your opposing friends when you respect their team and their accomplishments. This game would probably be best playing in the Fiesta Bowl. I think Texas just "fits" in that bowl game. A return there to play a pure staple of college football would be one of my dreams.

Sorry about that
Fixed. I don’t know how I misplaced those names…

My, not gonna happen list....but I'd like it to.
1. Boston College- I want revenge on this school for the loss in the H-bowl in 2005. But it probably won’t happen. Even if they were a good enough team to make a BCS bowl, it wouldn’t be against Boise State. The BCS has pretty much outlined where they want teams to play and in what bowls. I don’t see a Boise State Vs. BC in the Orange Bowl as being a possibility.
2. Colorado- It would be just really cool to play these guys with Dan Hawkins at the helm. Probably not going to see Colorado in a BCS game for a LONG time. If I was Coach Hawk, I’d be kicking myself for leaving beautiful Boise, Id. It’s actually good for BSU, at least coach Pete can see what can happen.
3. ECU- This time let’s take these guys seriously. We actually could play these guys again in the future, but probably not in a BCS game.
4. Washington State- NEVER going to happen in a BCS bowl, but I want to play these guys. They are the last team to beat Boise State on the Blue during regular season play.
I’d be happy if we could just schedule them in regular season play. It may show my mean and nasty side, but I’d LOVE to see us destroy WSU in Pullman in the next couple years. I doubt that James Sterk is taking any calls from Gene Blaymeir.
Graham Watson strikes again...
Boise State vs. Oklahoma: I’ve wanted to see a rematch of this game since the Fiesta Bowl in 2006. Would the 2009 Boise State team be able to take on Heisman hopeful Sam Bradford and a possible national champion? Boise State fans have been clamoring for more national respect and a rematch would surely bring that. — Graham Watson
I hate her so much.

Any TOP 10 team...?
I would like to see the Broncos face any TOP 10 team in the regular season.
I’d like to see the Broncos in the Rose Bowl too with either PAC10 or BIG10. I really think Boise State could handle just about any BIG10 team and only USC would really pose any real problems IMO.

…because our Orange is better than their Orange!

Ohio State
Out of all the schools on the poll. I’d like to see us face Ohio State. After all the crap we had to put up with from their fans because ESPN was talking about Boise State getting in over them for the Fiesta…..I gotta tell you guys, I LOST ALL RESPECT for that program. I guess I should get used to it. Boise State has become a real program overnight ( for these BCS schools). Our tiny school could NEVER have anything on their HUGE school, that most of their fans never graduated from, or anyone that they even know. Anyway, after watching them play last year……I’d LOVE to CRUSH them…even in the GAY Horseshoe.
The horseshoe we aspire to have?
Out of all the Div I-A programs out there, Ohio State has to be the most egotistical. I have yet to meet a humble Ohio State fan that gave credit and respect to another program.

Yeah, um.....ops. I forgot that we are going to be getting a horseshoe too. My bad.
I would rather they added two more of the curved ends on the North side instead of completing the Horseshoe in the South endzone.
While two more of the curved ends to the north side would be nice but...
We need to complete the horseshoe in order to build new lockers and training/weight room center along with it. Its only logical choice…

New locker room/ weight room would be great!
Can we put XBOX 360’s in all the kids lockers and 60in LCD flat screens, as rumored in the Oregon locker room? We could include EA Sports 08 with Superstar, Jared Zabransky on the cover………Seriously though, we do need new facilities. Get out there and make that money Gene!
was it on here they had the blueprints posted showing the closing in of the south endzone? Can’t wait for that!

Buckeyes...
Ohio State fans are ridiculously pompous. Trust me, I live about 3 hours south of Ohio in a resort area. Where the majority of the condos are owned by Buckeyes. They roll in every weekend, and especially during football season, they shout their chants in unison through out the bar. I loved watching USC pound them, resulting in silence coming from the other end of the room…priceless.
