If you are anything like me, you have spent countless hours and numerous steno note pads figuring out how Boise State might have fared against last year's only other undefeated team, Alabama. Well, wonder no more.
The fine folks at WhatIfSports.com have partnered with OBNUG this week to right the wrongs of college football championships past. How would a game between 2009 national champion Alabama and 2009 Fiesta Bowl champion Boise State turn out? Should the Broncos have been the true national champions after all? Find out after the jump.
What If Sports Week runs through Friday with daily simulations of Bronco matchups that should have been.
Why 2009 Boise State versus 2009 Alabama is such a big deal
Alabama won its conference title, had a highly-touted Heisman candidate, finished 14-0 on the season, and was crowned national champion. Boise State won its conference title, had a highly-touted Heisman candidate, finished 14-0 on the season, and sat idly by as Gene Wojciechowski wrote hackneyed mad libs about the Broncos and Craig James voted them lower than pretty much the entire Big Ten.
In a perfect world, Boise State and Alabama would have had the opportunity to determine the true national champion on the field, in a game rife with FOX cheerleader shots. Alas, Bronco fans will have to stick to their knock-off national champion tees and Alabama fans will have to live with the fact that this guy touched the national championship trophy. When the BCS wins, nobody wins.
How the simulation works
The What If Sports computer performed 1,001 simulations of 2009 Boise State versus 2009 Alabama at a neutral-site stadium with the full, healthy rosters of each team. That means Austin Pettis played, and Mitch Burroughs played less. That had to bode well, right? ... Right?
Final average score
Alabama 31, Boise State 14
The Crimson Tide won 88 percent of the games played against the Broncos.
An average BSU-Alabama game
The Broncos jumped out to a 17-0 lead on Alabama, causing many to recall the auspicious opening of the 2007 Fiesta Bowl when BSU jumped out to a big early lead against Oklahoma. But the Boise State defense, channeling their best fourth-quarter Jared Zabransky, folded like a lawn chair at a J.P. Nisby cake walk.
The Broncos gave up 350 yards rushing to the Crimson Tide, including 141 yards to Heisman Trophy-winner Mark Ingram and 117 yards to Ingram's backup Roy Upchurch. The daunting ground attack wore down the Broncos, who finally surrendered the lead in the fourth quarter on Ingram's second rushing touchdown of the day.
On the ensuing possession, a Doug Martin 41-yard run put the Broncos inside the Alabama 10-yard-line, but Kellen Moore frittered away the golden opportunity with an interception, giving Phil Steele great joy. The Tide took over and marched down the field for another score, essentially icing the game.

What can computer simulation teach us that Sim Golf has not already taught
There are a lot of interesting discussion points to take from this apocalyptic simulation, and I encourage you to explore all of the ones that strike your fancy in the comments. Two stand out most to me. And they are:
How accurate is Alabama's 88 percent success rate?
Part of me thinks that the Crimson Tide winning 88 percent of the time against Boise State is quite believable. This is the part of me that I sold to Kirk Herbstreit in exchange for a College Gameday appearance of my choosing. The Crimson Tide were a very good team last year, not necessarily against Tennessee or when they weren't really feeling up to it, but a very good team nonetheless.
The other part of me thinks that even if Alabama would win 88 out of 100 games against Boise State, I would take the Broncos in a one-game national championship every single time. I understand how ridiculous and homerish that sounds - picking a team despite the loads of incontrovertible proof that I shouldn't. But what kind of Boise State fan would I be if I didn't believe wholeheartedly that my team would win no matter the situation? I would be the kind of Boise State fan who comes to the game for the social experience, that's what.
Could Alabama really run over Boise State the way the computer claims?
You're not the only one with access to the college football statistics database, simulation computer.
- Alabama's rush offense in 2009: No. 12
- Boise State's rush defense in 2009: No. 28
Yeah, that's not the Nevada vs. UNLV-type rushing disparity that the simulation implied. I highly doubt that the Broncos would give up 300-plus yards to the Crimson Tide on a regular basis. For starters, Justin Wilcox would have come up with a 7-2-2 or something crazy to shut down the running game. But if the boxscore above is just an isolated ground game incident, I guess I can buy the fact that lightning can strike anywhere once. Right, Ryan Mathews?

2009 national champion Alabama
Catch me hiding in a Gambino owned brothel in southern Mexico plying himself with tequila and long-legged Costa Rican "actresses".
I wonder how long it will be before the Alabama fans start showing up and rubbing this in our faces
As if this really proves anything.

More motivation? KInd of cool to be compared to the ‘Big’ schools. If it’s workin for the Bama fans, then by all means ‘rub’ away. P.S.- Thanks for the help;)

Nope, I have no control over RBR
You were over there spouting this same tired nonsense over and over and over. I do not blame them for kicking you out. You bring nada, ziltch, nothing to a discussion. Have you not realized yet, we don’t give a flying …. about anything but football. If we win titles in other sports then great but we will not lose any sleep over it.

sorry i speed post. when you lose to boise don't come back with all those excuses you had with that loss vs utah in the sugar bowl.
we were not motivated, aw shucks. we did not have the depth we used to have b/c of ncaa violatiion’s. your own fault. plus not only did utah sack your qb 8 times in that game. it was bama players getting injured in that game and coming off the field. i thought the sec was tough? you basically had home field advantage and utah had not played in a dome for more than 20 years. boise would have beat you and they will beat you this year if you guys make it. the sec looks real tough this year so i expect all the good teams to have two losses. i like the sec but some of their fans get on my nerves. especially bama one’s. peace.

…on your poor uneducated soul. I can’t say for certain, but I bet you embarrass other Boise State fans. They may not admit it on here, but you do. If I saw a fellow Alabama poster making posts like that, I would be embarrassed.
And what does Utah have to do with last year or the comment I made? I just pointed out that you couldn’t even create a grammatically correct sentence, but were trying to call other people stupid. When someone does this kind of stuff, they lose all credibility. Now, I know who I am dealing with.

i believe that is an sec blog. they put my fanpost on the recommended fanposts. it’s still there. i can capitalize when i want to. i just speed post and i get many more replies than you will ever get. why are you bringing god over to a college football blog? if you did not notice you are not very liked out west b/c of the sec ’s superiority complex. watch any jeff foxworthy lately. you might be a redneck if you are a bama fan who does not care about any other sport but football. you guys have tunnel vision. lol.

i would say last years BSU team having a 1 in 10 shot @ beating last years Bama team
that sounds pretty reasonable to me. we almost dropped one to tennesee, va tech had us down in the 3rd quarter… 1 in 10 sounds about right. as for this year? i’d like to see you guys whip Va Tech’s ass and go undefeated, as long as there’s no undefeated team from the big 12 or big televin, then you’re in.

Assume this!
Computer programs depend on calculated assumptions. Assumptions in a perfect world are what made the Titanic float as long as it did. Alabama may rearrange the deck chairs on the Crimson Tide’s “A” deck, but that blue chunk of ice from the North has its number. Just ask the best team in the Pac-10 and the best team in the Mountain West how its assumptions worked out.

Not sure I can do this.
Let me ask my computer simulated wife.
Actually I think BSU would have probably made it close if not won. The way Bama played in the MNC did not impress me.
What was that fake punt called, the Joker? The real Bama didn’t look good in that game at all.
Of course college football fans nationwide would never know how sloppy a game that was because Gene W. never told us it was.

Simulation
It’s funny what happens when you change the factors around: the weather, precipitation, location. No matter where the game is, whenever I make it cold or rainy or both, Boise State plays worse. Even in Boise if it is 45 degrees and raining, Boise State gets blown out by Alabama. Maybe we should ask Nevada how well the Broncos play in the cold and rain?
Side note, even when Boise State wins the simulation, Mark Ingram is the player of the game every time.

Speaking of quotes
" " “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” – Wayne Gretzky" – Michael Scott " "— ty_ol
Obviously you're not a golfer...
I'm not sold...
If the computers simulated either the TCU or Oklahoma games, I bet they would come up with similar percentages. Oklahoma was supposed to win that game, period. Computer would make them the winner 9 out of 10 easy. TCU was heavily favored also.
I’m with Kevan, when it comes to a bowl game and we get the opportunity to prepare, our 09 team will win more than what the computer says.
What if is used
by Fox Sports during the year to predict wins. As above, both OU and TCU were predicted winners. What If also had Oregon winning I believe both times. Goes to show stats only takes you so far…passion and heart does the rest.
That's why games are played on the field
My homerism also tells me Boise State would win. For the record, I did the sim and BSU won on the first try 33-20. 100% baby!
"Hi, my name is Doug. I enjoy walks in the rain and bags of pork rinds."
Relax, OBNUG...
It is just a simulation.
Alabama probably would beat us more times than not if we played them 1001 times. I know I wouldn’t want to argue with the talent of that team.
Could we beat them in a 1 game series? Well, Duh. That doesn’t mean that we should be favored.
And if we had the heisman winner on our team, wouldn’t we expect him to be the player of the game as well?
I can appreciate the blue tint glasses of a bronco fan, as I own a pair, but we still need to be able to see things from a different perspective. Its all for fun.
Old enough to know better, too young to care.
Still don't know how he got the Heisman, though.
Oh, yeah… regional bias and mandatory 2nd and 3rd place voting… Now I remember.
"Everyone counted us out. I don't know why they keep doing that." -- Kyle Wilson
Quite a few of us
had the existential crisis when Ingram’s name started popping up for the Heisman. It had become such a tradition to not have a Heisman winner. We like those big team awards. Still, it clearly had a good bit to do with the most important player on the O. And don’t forget, his yards after contact was unreal. Mark and Trent tore up the best run defense in the land in Texas, so there’s a good chance they would have done similar to your guys in the end. That said, ’Bama/Boise St. would have been a hell of a game.
by Snowedin'Bama on May 25, 2010 6:25 AM PDT up reply actions
I type negatively.
But I don’t mean to say Mark Ingram isn’t a beast of a player. My rip was more on the Heisman Pageant than Ingram as a player. I’ve never seen a popularity contest rival that of my high school presidents election.
The YAContact for were very good (I think they’re what Ingram him in the trohpy discussion). I just thought a better athletic performance was found in Gerhart and Suh. Sadly, I’m also biased, so Kellen Moore would have been first place, leaving Ingram off of my ballot.
"Everyone counted us out. I don't know why they keep doing that." -- Kyle Wilson
I wouldn’t necessarily agree that Gerhart was better, but of course I am biased on that. I would have completely agreed with Suh winning though.

I think it would have been a better game than with Texas.
..especially the way Texas played against Nebraska.
I would like to see how Justin Wilcox does at Tennessee this year, including gearing up for that powerful and tenured Alabama backfield. It won’t give us any real answers, but if you run all over Wilcox, we might have an idea of what a BSU/’Bama game would have looked like.
"Everyone counted us out. I don't know why they keep doing that." -- Kyle Wilson
Suh was my vote,
with Gerhart second, if I had the ability to vote. As far as ‘Bama guys are concerned, I would’ve given it to Ro before Ingram. He was much more important to the team, especially our D.
This year, our backfield will show its stripes with Arkansas. If we hold their air game, and if our RBs tear up Penn St.‘s linebackers, I’ll feel good. For it’s worth, I’ve always liked y’all’s speed, but I wonder how it would hold up against some of the big teams. Our conditioning program (like Florida’s, Texas’, etc.) emphasize being able to go all game. Mix in our increasing depth at most every position, and smaller teams, no matter how fast or well conditioned, will get ground out. Unless the Broncos put up ungodly points at the start, such that our O couldn’t make it up, ’Bama would likely pull it out once the late-3rd, early 4th quarters came around.
by Snowedin'Bama on May 25, 2010 8:53 AM PDT up reply actions
I'm interested to see this, too.
Coach Pete toured a few top programs this off-season, finding ways to accelerate practice and add intensity. Not sure if that will translate to an immediate adjustment or not. But, it would be nice to be added to a conference where we would find out. On on that note, will you write Mike Slive and ask him to add Boise to the SEC?
"Everyone counted us out. I don't know why they keep doing that." -- Kyle Wilson
There was only one player...
…that I would have had no problem with winning the Hypesman over Mark, that would be Suh. Unfortunately, it will never go to a strictly defensive player. Woodson was a kick returner and played on offense some.
As for the BAMA vs BSU matchup, anything can happen in a single game setting like that. I would say the 88% win percentage for BAMA would be about right. Maybe we will get a chance to see this fall. Most of the polls I have seen have us starting the year at 1-2. Just take care of business, we will attempt to do so and then we can quit discussing “what if’s”.

Take care of business, and hope that we don’t end an undefeated season ranked lower than we started. I can see it happening, unfortunately.
As long as Va Tech holds up...

What if sports is anti BSU
I played tcu vs bsu 09 and 06, it had TCU wooping BSU’ ass (both teams) and we had the home field advantage… seems like they just made BSU’s players weaker then they actually are. Wish they made one of these that are more accurate! lol even the computer doesnt give them respect.
Well.
Only Boise State coaches can get the type of talent out of the players we have. Not even computers can figure that out.

Sports aren't anti-Broncos
Just ESPN. Of Course, ESPN employs Craig James. And he’s a douche.

That is the nicest thing I think I have ever heard from a Bama fan! It brought a tear to my eye.

Too kind a treatment
I’d lock them in, as you suggest, but I’d have a loop playing of Lou Holtz rambling on with Pam Ward, while endlessly playing a video of Musberger and “Herbie” doing their dreamed-of three-way with Tebow. THAT would make your most hardened Soviety spy talk in under 1/2 hour.

i for one appriciate the first hand insight he brings to the discussion
like the NCAA violations allegations against Reggie Bush. boy you cant get a better first hand account of what its like to be a cheating athlete at a cheating ass program can you?

Han Solo said it best (The Empire Strikes Back)..."Never tell me the odds"!
If we were calculating the statistical likelihood of BSU having 4 undefeated regular season/ two undefeated seasons, back-to-back wins against the PAC-10 champ, Oregon, playing in two BCS Bowls with wins over Oklahoma and TCU….and having the only coach in NCAA history to win the Bear Bryant award TWICE…the odds would be astronomical!!!
The fact is…BSU accomplished all that the have, working with much less…it is the intangibles that can not be quantified, that has allowed BSU to be successful.
Alabama looks great on paper…but they don’t play with the heart that our boys have; and football is all about drive and determination. My prediction would have been 21-17 BSU…causing Mark May to once again eat a steaming fresh plate of crow.

"They don't have the heart our boys have"
that’s because the Alabama football team is a machine that devours anything with a pulse
we then use the corpses to please Bear Bryant so that he does not smite us with Chesterfield cigarette smoke and floods of Jack Daniel’s Whiskey

Just think
One day will have have the ghosts of Coaches Bryant AND Saban wandering the Mal Moore Athletic Facility!! You want to talk about having to sacrifice earthly souls and frash corpses to keep the Gods happy… We’ll be destroyed with Smoke, Whiskey, and a silent Hell-fire that terrifies Mephistopheles should we ever lose.

One day...
…you will need to explain that (or link to the source).

Saban has a well publicized...
…love of Oatmeal Cream Pie snack cakes. I obviously wouldn’t expect that “news” to be common knowledge outside of Alabama, but it has shown up in non-regional publications like the Boston Herald and it’s even featured on Little Debbie’s website (PDF).

Well, then.
I suppose I will become a Saban fan for this reason alone. Can’t get enough of those.

Saban.
Did you like the initial hiring of him? I thought it was a bad move and I hated Saban’s frankness prior to the Utah game. But he’s slowly winning me over, as his interviews don’t have any in-between-the-lines anymore (or I’m not making them up myself) and he was pretty awesome to the vicious LSU fans when he visited.

I know you were replying to someone else...
…but yeah, I was (and pretty much everyone else) was elated with the hiring of him. He was a known entity and an entity know to take no BS, which our program was brimming with at the time. Very few people could have tamed this monster and he is one of them. Our program NEEDED someone with an iron will and a tough personality and we got it.

I disagree
I don’t think there are any virgin Auburn fans. Their brothers and moonshine take care of that early. Tebow’s tears alone qualified for 25%.
Not to mention, Coach Saban, our Dark Lord and fearless Devourer of Souls, is melting away the inner existence of recruits and beat reporters faster than he can eat Little Debbies. The Process shall not end so long until every soul has accepted its inevitability. As fans, we must repent for that single loss every day for all eternity. Else we shall become complacent and not worthy of National Title #2,851.

anyone ever tell you bronco fans the best part about winning?
you get to act like you’ve been there before.
y’all should chill out. most Bama fans i know are rooting for you guys. i’ve often said that y’alls program mirror’s Bama’s in the early days. (not getting much if any respect nationally, finally getting some invites to big cross country bowl games which you’re not supposed to win, but then do and piss everyone off {best part}…)
good luck vs Va Tech.

Well put.
It seems like in the past most of the Alabama or SEC fans who graced the pages of this blog came with ill intentions. It’s nice to see good folks who come here to enjoy the thing we love so much, Boise State Football!

Definitely
And I think you’ll find with most people here at OBNUG we’re homers (as we should be) but most posters are intelligent and able to reason.
