The arguments of why Boise is overrated is what others say about the 84 team.

Except 84 didn't lose. Kind of a big difference.

And beat 3 'P4' level teams... to 0.

Maybe BSU should try winning their tough games instead of losing them.

BYU’s 84 schedule included two power conference teams and

BYU played in the WAC the MWC didn't exist in the 80s

Already fixed and doesn’t change the point at all

BYU didn't beat a single top 20 team that year.

We played our schedule and won every game.

Boise beat exactly one ranked team and lost to two of them.

12/31/24 9:45pm
They’ve had better teams. Kellen Moore teams could have competed with anyone
BYU '80
12/31/24 9:46pm
Yeah, this is one of BSU's weaker "great" teams.
Jericho
12/31/24 9:48pm
They scheduled preseason number three and another power conference team

15 guys from that ‘84 team were eventually drafted in the NFL. BSU has Jeanty.

Key fact: they didn't lose to (checks notes) ANY team that year.

Who cares? Boise didn't deserve a bye or to be seeded above a P4 champ...

Except we won…and others refused to play us in a bowl.

Eh. Football landscape was far different in 84. Was no consolidation of "P5"
oxcoug
12/31/24 9:43pm
LOL. Yes, 2-loss Boise is just like the undefeated 1984 champs. #utelogic

This argument was used in 84 to say we should not be ranked 1. It’s the same

Bsu lost twice and had a better opportunity to prove to be the best.
BYU '80
12/31/24 10:02pm
The argument is that they should not have been ranked 3
RobDog
12/31/24 10:05pm
Sorry lost track of the original argument. I think there was a better argument
BYU '80
12/31/24 10:30pm
They aren’t ranked 3. They were seeded 3 based on seeding rules.

Fine. Semantics don’t change the argument.
RobDog
Jan 1, 8:20am
It does change the argument. People are saying they didn’t deserve a bye.
dtownCoug
Jan 1, 8:25am
That’s a fair distinction. I will take it up.
RobDog

We proved them wrong. BSU proved them right.
Methusaleh22
12/31/24 10:15pm
The argument was wrong either way. Nobody is saying that Boise should finish
RobDog
12/31/24 10:30pm
They earned a chance to prove that they didn’t belong, and they delivered
Jericho
12/31/24 10:33pm
Then stop saying they didn’t
RobDog
12/31/24 10:36pm
Show me where I said they didn’t earn the right to be in the playoffs
Jericho
12/31/24 10:43pm
Do you think we deserved a chance to play a BCS bowl in 96? If we did play
RobDog
Jan 1, 8:04am
If they lost in the opening round it would have been fine
Jericho
Jan 1, 10:01am
Who would you put in their place?
RobDog
Jan 1, 10:38am
Almost any team in the playoff was more deserving
Jericho
Jan 1, 10:57am
I disagree. And they played far better than all other losing teams so far.
RobDog
Jan 1, 11:01am
They scored 14 points and lost by 3 scores. Yay!!!

You serious? Texas and Penn St or Notre Dame should have received byes.

Show me where i said they didn't deserve a bid?
