I respect what Boise has accomplished, but their winning streak is boosted by at least a couple of lucky wins. Not lottery hitting luck, but games that could have went either way. First off, they could have easily lost the game against Virginia Tech. Secondly, and I think what most people forget, is the game against TCU last year. The better team didn't win that game. TCU got beat by a coach that pulled off a couple of trick plays. The flee-flicker won't work while the QB is on his butt and the fake punt won't matter because the 4.4 corners will be on each end of the line chasing down the wounded duck passes.
I'm not saying Alabama will even make it that far. Their schedule is a minefield of teams equal to or better than Boise. But if they get through that schedule and have a month to prepare, the athletes will make that championship game a laugher.
