You are correct, noble reasons all, if the players and fans get to choose. But as I said, IMHO, college football is big business. And big business is generally about making money. Challenges, pride, fun all get thrown out the window.
Call me cynical, I'm cool with that. :-) Don't worry Boise State will get their chance one day. Randy Platt aka "PCGator" aka "The Armchair Quarterback" aka "The Other Randy" Later Gators!

The down side of playing a major out of conference opponent are just as you said, and I totally understand about your wanting as many visits for your season ticket as you can get. What I would disagree with is that the only reason you'd play such a game is to build a reputation. One might play such a game because it would be an exciting challenge. One might play such a game for pride. One might play such a game for fun. Being top-level competitors, our players might enjoy the chance to face a team like Boise State who carry on publicly about how they're as good as an SEC team.
