Va Tech was nice enough to schedule them in the South last year and they got beat in a track meet.

Georgia was nice enough to schedule them in Atlanta this year .. and the team who held LSU to 12 total yards in the first half got curb stomped by the Boise offense.

Boise's one loss was to a very good TCU team, and they pretty much laid monster-steamrollings on everyone else they stepped to.

And they're headed to... Vegas?

That's pretty messed up.

so other schools manage to schedule some tough opponents, but boise can't? i didn't know that.

regardless of why they don't have that tough a schedule, it will continue to hamper them post-season.

Seems you don't understand how the big schools think.

Who cares about Boise St? They are garbage and they play garbage. If there was a playoff I would rather see teams like Va Tech and Wisconsin in over Boise St.

A nice, fair 8 team playoff would be.... Major conference winners plus 2 at large teams. You want to make it ,10,12 then you have a board/commitee like NCAA. A team like Baylor could drop 50 on any team on any given day. USC is playing great, maybe these type of teams could be voted in.

LSU
Bama
Stanford
Wisconsin
OK ST
Oregon
Va Tech
Clemson

USC is on probation

Its an example. Va Tech was highly ranked all year. Plus they are my team. I know what USC is on, but they also beat Oregon.

Seems like this is one thing we could all rally around President Obama on. In 2008, he said

"I think any sensible person would say that if you've got a bunch of teams who play throughout the season, and many of them have one loss or two losses, there's no clear decisive winner that we should be creating a playoff system. Eight teams. That would be three rounds, to determine a national champion. It would add three extra weeks to the season. You could trim back on the regular season. I don't know any serious fan of college football who has disagreed with me on this. So, I'm gonna throw my weight around a little bit. I think it's the right thing to do."

Last time I checked, Obama was a politician. They never do what they say they are going to do.

Did you catch the Ok State score?

I won't be watching a second of the national "championship" game, but I do hope it ends in an Alabama victory. Not because I prefer Alabama - I most certainly do not - but because that's the only way we're going to get a split national championship and folks re-examining the bowl system. We're looking at you, B1G and Pac whatever you are now.

no one is going to re-examine anything because there is too much money involved in the current system. unless that changes, nothing else will.

Actually they are leaving a ton of money on the table. A playoff would be far more lucratitive than the BCS. The thing is that the people who make the decisions are corrupt and laughingly so. Can you imagine what the ratings would be for games that actually meant something as opposed to last weekend when the conference championships were fairly meaningless? Just look at some of these BCS bowls this year?
Outside of the Rose and Fiesta bowls which are interesting matchups the others are fairly embarrassing. #13 Michigan versus #11 Va Tech? #23 WV versus #15 Clemson?
40% of BCS bowls dont even have a top 10 team.

think about this 1st round-Hell you could reward the higher seeds by making these home games
LSU vs Va Tech
Alabama vs TCU
Ok State vs Baylor
Stanford vs Clemson
Oregon vs Michigan
Arkansas vs Michigan State
Boise st vs Kansas state
Wisconsin vs South Carolina

Assume that the higher seeds win all the games
2nd round
LSU vs Wisconsin (Outback)
Alabama vs Boise State (Orange)
Ok State vs Arkansas (Cotton)
Stanford vs Oregon (Rose)

LSU vs Stanford (Fiesta)
Alabama vs ok State (Sugar)

LSU vs Alabama

You dont think that series of games to get to LSU/Alabama wouldnt be 50 times more lucratitive? Oh yeah but they would have to share the money, unlike the way the system is set up now...

OK St is not good. They lost as a 31 point favorite. That alone should make them ineligable for a National Title shot.

they are a damn close to #2 team for a reason. they are good, they had a good year. their only loss in double overtime at a very emotional time for the school.

Yup I get the emotional time for the school talk, I really do. They were still 31 point favorites. My point is this.... Whos loss is better Bama or OK ST? I dont even think there can be an argument to that question.

exactly the issue. It is all about $$$$$$. Why would a BCS conference school want to schedule a home/away commitment with Boise? There is absolutely no benefit in $$$$$. College football is all about the $ for the big time conference schools.

Look at the bowl games this year. Where does 11-1 Boise State get to play? They get to play 6-6 ASU who fired their coach already. oh yeah and they beat Georgia at Georgia.

Does anybody even care about WVU vs Clemson outside of those schools?

The BCS and these bowl games needs to end. What other sport takes over a month off at the end of the season before they play a championship?
