If you're referring to Boise State, they at least had gone undefeated and earned an at large BCS bowl bid to play OU. They had made some noise before winning that game, though there's no question, that was a big game for the program. They came into that game ranked ahead of OU, too. Many football fans seem to forget this. Its more so the way they won that game more than anything. Everyone already forgot about Utah beating Alabama a couple of years ago.
