Boise State preview featured on CFN homepage
For a website that listed the Broncos as the No. 4 non-BCS team in the country, they sure do have some awfully nice things to say about them.
America, it's time to ditch your preconceived notions of what a successful college football program should be. Just because Boise State is tucked away in Idaho, and just because it doesn't get the four and five-star super-recruits like Alabama, Texas, or Ohio State, that doesn't mean the brand of football is any less successful.
No predictions were made, except that anything less than a 10-2 season would be a colossal failure.

Plan your Internet browsing accordingly.

Bruce Feldman reminds everyone that Coach Pete is a great coach
Petersen comes in at No. 5 on Feldman's list of coaches who have elevated programs to new, non-Human-Bowl heights. It's Insider content, so here, I copied the Coach Pete paragraph.
Broncos football and its famed blue turf had flashed onto the national radar before Coach Pete took over for Dan Hawkins, but they were more of a curiosity then. They'd still only had one top-15 finish before Petersen's first season in 2006. Since then, they've gone a staggering 61-5, been in the top 15 four times and in the top 10 three times.
