Boise's in a tough position, too good to get a decent team to play them, not big enough to have much of a chance to join a stronger conference. I don't know that there's a realistic solution for that at this point, but it would be nice to see the whole BCS v. non-BCS conference distinctions dome away with at the very least.
It wouldn't be Boise St vs. Penn St though. One of Penn St or Iowa will be in a BCS bowl, but not both.

It would be Boise St. vs. Pitt or Georgia Tech and Boise St almost assuredly gets in in that case.

There's really only a couple scenarios where Boise St doesn't get into a BCS Bowl. The obvious one is Nebraska upsetting Texas putting both those teams in the BCS. The other is if Pitt upsets Cincy, but it still remains to be seen if 11-1 Cincy gets in over 12-0 Boise St.
