Congratulations to Boise State on their exciting victory against Virginia Tech last night. It was hard-fought, and the Broncos proved they have a good program. Va Tech is no slouch; they're a legitimate Top 10 team, so there are plenty of reasons for fans to be singing the praises of Boise State.
HOWEVER -- as nice as it feels to root for the "little guy" and hope that they can go far, this win does not - I repeat, DOES NOT - put BSU in the running for a shot at the national title. (At least, it SHOULD not.) Take a look at the remainder of the Broncos' schedule: they have non-conference games left against Wyoming, Oregon State and Toledo, and their slate of games against a less-than-mediocre WAC. Oregon State is currently ranked 24th, and Fresno State is coming off a nice win over Cincinnati. Still, this schedule doesn't even come close to matching up against any schedule that a team from the six major conferences will face.
Simply consider the current #1 ranked team: Alabama. After a Week 2 showdown with a ranked Penn State squad, they will enter SEC play - where they will face Arkansas, Florida, South Carolina, LSU and Auburn (among others). Then, they will presumably play in the SEC title game. Anyone who thinks that a 12-0 Boise State team would deserve a chance in the BCS Championship Game over an Alabama team with one loss is living in a fantasy world. The same argument can be made for any of those other SEC teams, not to mention Ohio State, Miami, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Oregon and probably a half-dozen others.
