And that opinion is based on ..... recent success on the football field?

Someone made a short list a page or two back with the reasons why we could be moved up, all those same reasons apply to them as well, except they've been successful in athletics (not just football) as well as (and more importantly) manipulating the media.  They just had a segment today on SEC radio in Knoxville about their QB.  In contrast I've never heard the Bulls discussed here in SEC country.  It's ok to be cynical towards the rival and supportive of the home guys but let's not pretend that they aren't a much more visible program across the board right now.   They're just bigger and more recognizable.

Someone forgot to tell Boise State that they moved up in the last round and they don't have to be in the Mountain any more. 

Your sarcasm is noted, but they've been more successful in football than Boise.  At least when it matters.  Boise sure does get some nice regular season games/wins though.

I can think four sports in five seconds that we beat them in last year so I’m not sure what you mean here. 

Most recently, our baseball team was playing in the post season, while they sat in the best seat in the house. 

Also pretty sure ESPN was doing specials on Q.......

Boise is 3-0 in the Fiesta Bowl and finished one season 14-0. They are located in the 119 TV market compared to ucf's top 20 market though.

Dude if your looking for us to say ucf is better or for us to respect them then you need to get the hell off this board.

I made that list and half of the items do not apply to UCF.

They won BCS bowls on the regular before and during the last expansion, if winning mattered at all they would have been in.

If they had the things going for them that someone made in that list a couple pages ago then they'd probably have been moved up to a power conference by now.  Winning matters, but Boise has to back it up with substance.  They have literally nothing going other than fb.
