I think everyone needs to temper their expectations of the Boise St team that's possibly joining the conference next year. They lost a large chunk of their starters and their star QB. This isn't going to be the best team Boise has put out on the field. Will it be solid? Sure. But to say it will replace WVU and even add MORE than what WVU brings is a little premature. WVU is LOADED next year and having them in the conference would allow the BE to not get embarrassed in a BCS game next year. Honestly, what remaining BE team is going to field a team that can compete at the BCS Bowl level? There can be a surprise team out there but Louisville is the only program I can think of and they're still gonna be young.
I just think people need to keep in mind that Boise is going to be less than what they were the previous two years and to say they are better to have than WVU is a little crazy. Long term maybe, but for next year, not so much.
