Default very cute

Matching up TCU and Boise State in the BCS. Classic maneuvering. Last thing anyone there wants is both the WAC and Mountain West winning a BCS game and beating a Big 10/Big 12/SEC/ACC team this year. Especially cheap considering these teams played each other in a bowl game last year in the Holiday Bowl. They both got shafted big time. They get the money so noone can complain about it I guess.

The thing is that TCU can beat any team in the country right now including either of the teams in the title game.

This is exactly why college basketball kicks the piss out of college football and always will until there's a playoff.

As the lower levels of college football are working their way through their respective playoffs, these clowns are sending any team with 6 wins to an endless parade of meaningless Weedeater Bowls. Save those precious bowls for the teams that don't make the playoffs and get a playoff going.

It's the only sport (FBS only) in the NCAA that does not have a playoff. There is no logical reason for them not to have a football playoff. None.

This is such a frustrating subject.

I like the Bowl system right now. It gives morons the opportunity to b.itch and moan about their obscure team in a s.hit conference going undefeated and getting the shaft.

A playoff would shut them up and quite frankly it's too much fun watching them whine with delusions of grandeur rather than whine because they got smashed by a big conference team for all the marbles.

If you need a reference for this look up the past champions in basketball. The majority of years it is a major conference school cutting down the nets.
