In a disgustingly controversial move that would later all but force the adaptation of FBS CFB's first Playoff system, the Sugar Bowl selection committee bypasses both #7 Boise St. and #8 K-State in favor of #11 Va. Tech and #13 Michigan.
CFB's winningest QB of all time, Kellen Moore, and the rest of the boys put a beatdown of epic proportions on the unranked Sun Devils of Arizona St. The upcoming NFL draft would see Boise St. place only second to Alabama for players drafted in the NFL Draft with LB Shea McClellin and RB Doug Martin each going in the first round.
