(Because I know for a fact that almost 10% of Boise's wins in the last 10 years came from strictly ranked opponents alone).

Not to mention the FACT that you are Wrong.
they have also racked up the 2nd highest win % against ranked opponents in the last 10 years, and the highest win % against ranked AQs in the last 10 years.

I wonder what James Madison Univerity's winning percentage over RANKED opponents is over the last 5 Years?
Now I have a question for you SomeBarney:Hard to say before a single snap by any team. Probably the same number as half of the bcs bowl participants, since that has been the trend for the last couple years. Boise played as many or more ranked opponents than 6 of the 10 bcs bowl participants in their 12 game seasons, including the national champ, this past season.
How many RANKED teams will Boise Beat This Coming 2012 Season in YOUR Opinion? How many AQ Teams?

Boise played as many or more ranked opponents than 6 of the 10 bcs bowl participants in their 12 game seasons, including the national champ, this past season.
Boise played the same number or more final ranked opponents in their respective 12 game regular schedules as half of the final top 25 last season.
And during the season before, Boise played as many or more than 6 of the 10 bcs bowl participants during their respective 12 game schedules and the same or more than 11 of the top 25.
# of AQs? Who cares? It isn't AQs that have beaten Boise lately, it's top NAQs. You have to go back 5 years for a Boise loss to an AQ.
Several NAQs on Boise schedules have been better than over half of the AQs, so it's a silly question.
Sorry if I don't share your AQ self importance, but once again, another irrelevant question from spinocchio.
Illinois my friend, would EASILY match Boise's winning output over the past decade if they had played Boise's scehdule.

Keep it up Barney, it is quite entertaining watching you chase your tail.
Yes, play New Mexico & Weber State 11 times a year and throw in Michigan State and walla, a toughy of a schedule.
Go Barney Go.
In the same time period Illinois lost to Fresno State twice, Minnesota twice, Purdue twice, Northwestern, Cincy, Indiana. Those are just the bad losses spinny. I am giving them some credit to a middle of the AQ pack loss like 3 times to PSU even though they have been nothing special.
Comments like this make your posts laughable at best.
Now again spinny, who recently has BSU lost to, that we should have defeated. Now keep the answer relevent now spinny.
Sure Bunt. In that Time Span, Illinois has also beaten 5 Ranked AQ Football Teams; Penn State, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Northwestern & Arizona State. Too, Illinois had to PLAY 19 RANKED AQ Football Teams.
Boise hasn't had to face Anywhere CLOSE to that many. As they say my friend, its in the numbers.
Who did Boise lose to that they shouldn't have? I suppose the answer would be, noone. They were overrated every year so it came as no surprise when they lost to Nevada & TCU.
In fact, since "kellen moore" joined the team, Boise has been Embarrassed by a pitiful 4-7 Washington Husky team, beaten by a 7-5 ECU team, beaten by Hawaii, Nevada and TCU twice.
Just keeping it relevant.
You've claimed Boise was in the same class as Mt Union, Portland st, Uc Davis, James Madison, etc., etc., over and over.

So now you bring up the "Unranked" BSU 2007 season? When Kellen was redshirted. Congrats. Go ahead and bring up the results, but don't act like Kellen was slinging it around the smurf turf.
7-5 ECU team lost a bowl game by 3 points. In a bowl game to a guy named Chris Johnson? Ever heard of him?
A bad loss to Washington, agreed.
Hawaii, who was ranked #15 at years end after losing a BCS game.
Lost by an XP twice to TCU, both times with TCU being inside the top #20.
Lost to a top #15 Nevada on the road in our "Rivalry Game". Yes, spinny Nevada is BSU's one and only rival.
If that is all you got in 5 years, then you already have your answer.

Instead they lost to Minnesota twice in three years, Fresno twice in two years, Purdue twice in two years, Northwestern, exc.

5 teams beat them and they were unranked. What's your point?7-5 ECU team lost a bowl game by 3 points. In a bowl game to a guy named Chris Johnson? Ever heard of him?
Ok? Again, they were given the benefit of the doubt that year. Why? Because they were unbeaten in the WAC right?Hawaii, who was ranked #15 at years end after losing a BCS game.

Wrong again. I clearly said, if AQ's were "ducking" Boise, then Boise is "ducking" Mt. Union.
Again, tell me why it was such a Big Thing when Boise beat VT, but yet not so big when James Madison beat them WORSE the following week?
Which gives you zero credability and even less integrity.
5 teams beat them and they were unranked. What's your point?My point is simple, when you have a freak of nature like Chris Johnson, guess what? Every few weeks, he is going to go off. Even a bad Detroit Lions team occasionally looked great when Barry took over. Simple.
Ok? Again, they were given the benefit of the doubt that year. Why? Because they were unbeaten in the WAC right?No, I don't think that they were great. Good yes, but not great. It was a loss to a good team on the road, in HAWAII.
Well, by 25. Or were they the team that only lost to Utah that year by 3? Perspective. Ask an Alabama Fan. They also beat #8 BYU by 25 points 35-7. And again, we lost by an XP.
Ok? OU beat the very Same TCU team by 30, that beat boise. Again?
You think I am search for you to validate my credibility and integrity Barney?
It only matters, if you turn around and beat the teams that you should beat. Instead they lost to Minnesota twice in three years, Fresno twice in two years, Purdue twice in two years, Northwestern, exc.
Of course, if you can really back up your statements. But I think we all know you can't. I just want to make sure that every one here knows it, in case some are just tuning in.
Spinny didnt compare BSU to those smaller school he said that BSU was no better then the AQ teams that BSU fans try to trash. BSU fans talk about AQs not doing H&H with BSU an spinny basically said BSU didnt do H&H with smaller teams either.
So he didnt compare them he used them as an example.
