A) There's no way in hell Boise State risks a chance to go to the semifinals by going for 2 at the end.
B) Playoff matches sometimes tend to crafty, defensive affairs cause coaches are afraid to lose, whereas one bowl game is fun for teams to be as offensive as possible. Boise State played their best under no pressure. I think they shoot themselves in the foot it it's a QF.

Great post.
This seems to be a common tactic with the 'blow up the whole thing' argument, take all of the good things that have happened in the past and imply that a playoff will result in those happening over and over again, regardless of the blatant differences in the situations.
