Ya - they should definitely be impressive next year.
Was looking at their 2010 schedule:

Oregon State might be a test, but that trip to VT should be something. If they can win those two games and go undefeated, that might get them higher than this year (with a little help from some of the other big conference teams losing). I was impressed with them tonight. Like Van said - I saw that Fresno game, and their D was awful at that point, but they made some serious fucking adjustments....
hmmm, everybody complains they don't play anybody, but when they have an open spot, suddenly everybody's dance card is full...yeah yeah, I know about scheduling in advance, but BSU's open slot was flexible, and it would be the perfect opportunity for a power conference team to slap them back to reality...so what's the problem?WAC commissioner Karl Benson said Tuesday that several high-profile programs have turned down a chance to play a home game against Boise State in 2011.
Boise State — with help from ESPN, Benson said — has been shopping for a game to fill out its 2011 schedule.
Benson wasn't sure of the exact number of schools that had said no, but figured it was close to 10. The Broncos weren't asking for any games in Boise in return, he said.
"They're running into a situation where nobody will schedule them, nobody will take them," Benson said.
They contacted Oklahoma but there was a conflict about something... Can't accuse of us of avoiding anyone either. We play at least one major game OOC every season that is usually a home and home series. Next year we have a game at Cincinnati (return trip), Florida State at home (opening a HandH series), and Air Force at home (return trip after years of them avoiding it and pushing it back).
