This caught off guard excuse, this they play in a weak conference excuse, this they dont belong in the BCS picture garbage, is just whining about a team that is not in one of the elite conferences beating up on the big boys. Maybe you could have used thlose excuses in '07 when they beat up on OU, but not today. EVERYONE circles their game with Boise, no matter what their conference affiliation or their ranking. Everyone wants to knock them off.
And to the fact that they play in a weak conference, the same team that beat the crap out of Bama in '08 would have been in their conference had the PAC 12 not come calling. The same team that went toe to toe with one of the best running attacks in the country and won the Rose Bowls last year would have been in that conference had the Big East not come calling. BYU, who beat Ole Piss and took Texas to the edge would have been in that conference had they not gone independent. You know that Utah St. team that gave Auburn and OU more than they ever asked for over the last 2 years? Yea, they were in the conference that Boise just left.
