Because they aren't competing equally. BSU has to win 2 competitive games all year to get into the NC game, an SEC or Big Ten team is looking at 4+ difficult games and a grind of a conference season with next to no gimme games. BSU supporters seem to be pretty keen to overlook the fact that their team has months to gameplan for every legit opponent they face, while the rest of the top teams have to battle nearly every week to get a win. Anyone who has ever played or been around the game at an elite level can tell you how much of a difference that makes. Banged up players on a team like OSU can't take time off when Penn State is on saturday followed by Iowa and UM, it's a little different when BSU has that murders row of New Mexico State, Toledo and San Jose State.
And this is coming from someone who has a friend that played at BSU and ahs always been a fan of the program.
