Jebus. There are ass loads of BSU fans in the stadium. Me can see why the Chamber of Commerce hench men like this pick.
Well, now I feel like a schmuck...
They had a month to prepare for one game, if there was a playoff bracket where they had to play 2 or 3 games against superior opponents they would be doomed.

What does the combined record of Texas look like?
The Texas 2009 Big 12 conference matchups were not nearly as challenging as 2008, and UT's OOC schedule was a creampuff filled joke.
Nebraska played Texas as closely as anyone. The Colt McCoy lead 2009 Longhorns look nothing like the 2005 Vince Young lead team.
Based on what I saw last night compaired with what I saw when UT played Nebraska and Colorado, I suspect that Boise has a 40-50% chance of beating the Longhorns.
Look, the Boise players don't control their strength of schedule. They won every time they stepped on the field. They very well could be the #2 team in the country and have no way other than conjecture to proove whether they are the best in the land.
All I know is that I'd kill for the buffs to have two undefeated seasons and tow BCS bowl wins in the last 4 years. I wouldn't care how they got there, or what others thought. BSU has beaten the teams put in front of them, not much more you could ask of them.

BSU won 14 games this year. Dan Hawkins has won 14 games in the last 3 years combined.
Fair enough, but taking it one more level, you should look at the schedules of their opponents. Texas played their OOC schedule, which wasn't tough, plus the Big XII. I'd suggest that each one of Texas' Big XII opponents had much tougher schedules than BSU's WAC opponents. The level of competition isn't even comparable.
Quite true, and a BCS also ran team called Georgia humiliated that year's "BCS buster" Hawaii....You can't have it both ways.
In****ingdeed. Then Fox had to ruin it by showing Boise's band "dancers" in those weird looking leotard thingies.

In fairness to Hawaii, Cinncinnati didn't fair much better against Florida.
Aside from the television market arguement, is the Big East really more deserving of BCS status than the MWC or WAC?

I've got to say that TCU's helmets had a strange but different paint pattern to them. They may have looked better if they had a different logo or something besides the letters TCU?
I believe the were nikeified.

I'm cutting some slack regarding TCU's fuggly reptile skin helmets mostly because of the disaster that was the Boise band's halftime show. When it comes to an eyesore, the BSU ban stole all of the thunder.
Since the Big East lost Miami et al to the ACC thats a valid point because they are on their way to becoming an irrelavent BBall only conference.
I agree that Cincy looked bad but they lost their head play caller and that probably took some wind out of their sails.
Hawaii got schooled.
As for BSU v TCU I think it just came dow to how the selections played out. You knew Sugar was gonna take UF when they lost Bama. No surprise, given the size of the crowd, that the Fiesta would take BSU. It would have been more enjoyable to see BSU or TCU beat a BCS team but oh well. Im not gonna take anything away from them for turning in a good year. Both teams probably would beat the Buffs.
Sure, they could survive in the Big 12, and it would be to the tune of 8-4 or 9-3. Which is what they really are, somewhere around #10-15 in the country. They're a very good team, just not deserving of being in the national championship discussion. Even the Boise player who was interviewed after the game said they didn't belong in the discussion.
I hate to break it to you buddy but the NCAA has done a very efficient job in making it harder for the haves of the world (OU, NU, USC, Alabama) to remain dominant. This is why the TCUs, ECUs, USFs, and BSUs of the world are getting better and the CUs of the world are getting worse. In fact, our coach is paid less then the coaches at some of those other schools.
I don't know. I thought the drum major had something going for her. I can't find a picture from last night's performance, but google gave me a practice one:

I always disliked this completely bogus argument. It's not about what they can or cannot control. It's about who and how they played. And while they beat all the teams they played, they also nearly lost to some poor teams. As someone else indicated, there is little doubt would not be so highly ranked if they played in a better conference.
As an aside, the NCAA should "level the playing field" and make them play home games on green grass (or turf), like everyone else.

I don't see the Cincinnati situation as being all that different from Hawaii's. Keep in mind that the 2008 Sugar Bowl was played within days of Hawaii coach June Jones accepting an offer to coach at SMU. Speculation about where June Jones might land after the season was common. The tension that Jones maintained with the Hawaii AD was all over the papers through the whole season. Those Hawaii players were aware of the coaching upheaval going into the Superdome. It's possible that Hawaii would have played better against UGA if Jones and the AD weren't at loggerheads and was hellbent on continuing to coach the Warriors.
You are right about the drum major. She would have blended in nicely among the TCU cheerleaders if she could manage the boot scoot boogie dance in a pair of hot pants.
