What would the ceiling be for Boise if they were in a P5 conference?

In all seriousness, they’re a great program.  They’ve remained consistent year after year, although I think they’ve taken a step back the past few years.  There was a time they were in the national picture a few times but really haven’t sniffed it in a few years.  They seem to get super-solid coaches (makes you wonder what would have happened if they had USC’s last several coaches and vice versa).  I don’t like them basically because I developed a need to see them lose when we were competing with them for king of the small guys.  

I DO respect them.  They’re the Gonzaga of college football.

I have no idea how they do it. Every time a coach leaves I think they’ll fade into Oblivion but they proove me wrong every time. Dammit!

“…without question, Boise is televised on the east coast 3 times as much Utah and Bypoo.”

…but only if you count all their games that were broadcast on ESPNU and ESPNNews.  The truth is, thanks to the Pac-12 Network, ALL of Utah’s games have been broadcast.  And when ALL of your games ARE being broadcast, one cannot conclude that Boise St is getting more aired games.

Now if your point is that the Pac-12 Network doesn’t reach as many homes as the ESPN networks, your point will again be invalidated by the fact that neither does CBSSN — the “Pac-12 Network” of the MWC.

Since you argue like a zoob — aka, posting “opinions” as though they’re “facts” and failing to substantiate them in any fashion — allow me to do the “Ute” thing of “pointing out the FACTS”!

If we’d filtered out all the games since 2014 that were broadcast on the Pac-12 Network, CBSSN, Al-Jazoobie, “Ocho”, et al, but INCLUDED ESPNU and ESPNNews, Boise St appeared in 47 broadcast games.  ybU-p appeared in 45, and Utah in 43.  But the Nielsen Ratings — which more accurately measures “national exposure” flips the script.  Utah appeared in over 68 million homes. ybU-p appeared in over 54 million, and Boise St in nearly 50.7 million.

And for what it’s worth, you might wanna leave all the “what folks on the east coast think/say/see” up to those who actually live on the east coast.  You’ll look less stupid.
