Why does BSU schedule teams like Toledo or Wyoming. They have 10 cream puffs on their schedule already.

Most likely because they don't get a fair shake when trying to schedule bigger names. They probably get offered 2 for 1's....1 and done....stuff like that. Who knows, maybe they just don't care that much because they have already proven that winning regardless of competition is the key to getting into the BCS. Their title hopes don't really hinge on themselves, they have to hope that no BCS teams go undefeated as well.

Actually Boise went undefeated a few times and missed out on a BCS game.

I agree. Any 1 loss Big 12 or SEC team will get in over BS based on their schedules.

Not only those teams but 1 loss teams from virtually all BCS conferences will get the national championship game over Boise. They have little to no shot. Their as high in the ranking's as they are likely to get.

I would say that the ACC, Big East, and possibly the Pac-10 Champions if they have one lost and BSU is undefeated BSU would get in over those three conferences. But honestly who the hell knows.
 
VT has the coolest uni's I've ever scene in college football.

And the lamest team name. Hokeys? Do they even know what that means?

All the big guys are afraid to schedule them. Getting beat by a WAC team is too humiliating. And they always beat the big dogs.

Well it's lose lose. Florida or Alabama plays BSU and wins: They were supposed to win. They lose: They are embarrassed. That and the size of the stadium in Boise and payout for a visiting team sucks so nobody wants to play in Boise.

If they want respect, a big if, they need to just play road games at bigger schools and skip playing the likes of Wyo & Toledo.

You need to have a balance of home and road. You can't start the season with 4 road games.

True but Utah has been willing to take trips to Michigan twice and BYU went to Texas to play Oklahoma. If your Boise and your stadium sucks with a tacky blue field and you city is a pain to get to. Then to get respect they need to go out and play the big boys once in a while. I don't think they will or should have a shot in hell at the National championship with that schedule. There are ways to make those trips work. But Boise is unwilling to do so.
 
Are you sure that Boise doesn't try? Other schools have to accept when you try to schedule them.

I contend that these "big" schools are afraid of getting beaten.

I don't believe they have played in a single "money game". Other schools are able and willing while in lesser conferences. I have to assume that if Boise wanted them it would be possible to find a taker. If they are demanding a return trip there is no incentive to the bigger school. None it's only lose lose for them as somebody else pointed out.
