On the one end of the spectrum, you have the scenario that if everything went right this season, Boise State would capture the mythical "national championship". Here is, as they say, "the other end".
This scenario occurred in the fifth simulation of the day (in my ongoing goal to get to 100 simulations before football season). Boise State finished 7-5. "No way that could happen!" you say. Keep in mind there are also many who say no way Boise State could win a national championship. And remember that the truth very well could be somewhere in the middle. And yes, it absolutely could happen where Boise State finished 7-5. A few key injuries here, a few bad bounces, and considering the schedule they have, it absolutely could happen.
Boise State lost 32-31 to Georgia, 27-24 to #20 Tulsa, 35-21 to #14 Nevada, 30-22 to #8 TCU and 27-17 to San Diego State (those Blue Turf haters themselves).
In the other four simulations, Boise State finished #9, #4, #7 and #4 at the end of the bowl season. I will of course have a complete rundown and analysis of the EA Sports Simulations by the end of August. Promise.
