How annoyed do these bowl games make me? And could they have been more predictable?! I totally knew what was going to happen. How did I know? Because I know the BCS is afraid of the small schools crashing their party and causing complete chaos. This is how I see it.
Really? Putting TCU and Boise St. against each other? Talk about taking the coward's way out. They knew that they couldn't leave Boise St. out, being that they are the sixth ranked team in the country. They knew that would cause a complete uproar. The other problem they had was that then they had two "mid majors" that were going to be in bowl games that can and probably would beat any of the teams from the big six conferences. How bad would that make their system look? Not only that, but then imagine the chaos. They would have two "mid majors" go in and butt slap two big six conference teams. And if that's not bad enough, then they would still have two "mid major" schools that were undefeated and screaming that they deserved a chance to play for the national title. There would only be three undefeated teams, and two of them would be mid majors. Yeah, that would cause some problems.
So how do they solve this whole dilemma? "Hey, let's make them play each other!" What a crock of garbage! What an insult to TCU. TCU now gets absolutely no reward for making it to a BCS game. Now they get no chance to prove that they belong in the national championship conversation. "Yeah, you won your BCS bowl game, but it was against another mid major." What a bunch of crap!!!! So instead of two mid majors being allowed to go into the BCS system, and embarrass their system, they just get to beat each other. And this might be the ultimate no win situation for TCU and Boise St.
See, TCU can't win here because if they win, people will say "so what? They beat a Boise St. team that just beats up on patti-cakes all year." And if they lose people will say, "See, they were overrated. They play a decent Boise st. team and get beat." Boise St. also can't win, because if they do people will just say that TCU was overrated and this just proves that, and if they lose people will say, "see, the first good team they played all year and they got beat." This is such a freaking joke. Although I believe TCU is the better team (the best team in the nation, actually) and the more complete team, I think Boise St. is going to win. I think TCU is incredibly disappointed that they didn't get a chance to beat up a big school and that they have to play another mid major, one that they just beat in a bowl game last year. I think Boise st. will get way more pumped for this game.
And of course they put cincinnatti in the bowl game against Florida. Why, you ask? Because they want Tebow to go out on top. They want him to win another bowl game, so they can solidify him as one of the greatest ever, and they knew their best chance to do that was against a Cincinnatti team that plays absolutely no defense. Florida is going to destroy them, and the BCS knew that both TCU and Boise St. not only have the offense to put up a bunch of points on Florida, but that they also have the defenses to shut down their mediocre at best offense. It's such a joke. And I believe Alabama is going to beat Texas.
Doing it this way solved all of the BCS' problems. This way at the end of the bowls, there will only be two undefeated teams; Alabama and Boise St. And who really thinks Boise St. deserves a shot at the national championship? (That's sarcasm by the way.) However, if TCU wins, which they should, we are just going to have another whole what-if scenario playing out. Lame. I want a playoff, so TCU could prove they are the best.
I really don't want to discuss BYU playing Oregon St. in the las vegas bowl either. I think oregon st. will win this fairly easily. They are way too fast, the rodgers brothers are incredibly quick, and they qb is ridiculously efficient. I think they win by two touchdowns. Also, yes, I have no faith in my cougars when it comes to big games. I hope for the best but always expect the worst. It is my own little way to self protect. That may make me a crappy fan, but oh well.

Exactly what I think. Complete and utter garbage. Oh, and if you read the comments on ESPN and Yahoo, 95% of people also agree with this. It's a joke.
I have no need to comment here. You said everything I think about this situation.
