What will be interesting is how they choose the top 4!

Little more to the story there. Boise State is consistently referred to as "the little guy." And it's true. Smaller conference, smaller stadium, less money, less skilled athletes. No arguments. When Boise goes somewhere big to play though, they want the same payout the Appalachian States, Utah States, James Madisons, and other "little guy"/cupcakes get.
Now, why would Nebraska or any other big school pay Boise the same as they do the cupcakes scheduled at the beginning of the season, when they have even a remote chance of getting beat? It's lose lose.
I don't blame the bigger schools for not wanting to pay out with a chance of losing, but I don't blame Boise State either. In the BCS era, Boise State must win every game to even be looked at. Why would they play a big game, get paid less and take a significant chance to lose, when all they need to do is win 1 big game and then run the table.
I'm not a BSU fan that's ignorant to college football, and I don't always (or ever for that matter) think Boise should play for the NC. But, of course I want what's best for my team.
