Because you ignore 11 other games to prop up your theory that they are overrated. They wiped out a bunch of pretty good teams including Oklahoma in a game where you said they had no 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.

If you keep asking that question, you really don't get the emotional part, you just don't.

Let me ask this, who has better wins?

you aren't supposed to just consider the one loss. from what i've heard/read, ok st had a tougher overall schedule. they also played one game more than bama, and won a traditionally tough game that they lose far more often than they win. they really took it to okla the other night. voters are supposed to pay attention to the season-much like eclipse voters, they evidently only pay attention to a big matchup.

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?

Cool bcs a joke!

It's simple as this, the idiots need a playoff. They have over 35 stupid bowl games now. Boise state tcu and everyone should get a chance to win it all. Wouldn't it be crazy if could have a december madness like the march one. Instead we got this bcs crap. By the way isn't it crazy that bama who loss at home to lsu, gets to play again and if beats lsu is national champ even though they basically would split! Comon man the system is stupid period!

Home and home? Most schools won't even consider playing them only at home. The sport is a sham until things are decided on the field.
