worth noting, I guess, that at least two teams in the BCS top 10 won't be in BCS bowls.

EDIT: Boise will likely go to No. 5 and Arkansas will be at No. 6.

But Virginia Tech, likely to fall out of the top 10 after the Clemson beatdown, gets in.

It is?

I thought college football was just a bunch of amateur students blowing off steam after class and on weekends?

That's all that matters.

Boise is going to be, what, No. 5? Finishes ahead of the ACC champion. The Big East champion. The Big 10 champion. The Pac-12 champion. And yet, it gets nothing, with two at-large picks in the double digits chicken fighting in the Sugar and collecting the bigger checks?

Blow

Up
And
Disband

Bingo. I would love it if T. Boone front Okie State the 13 million it would have gotten, and say "No Thanks. Our season is over with."

Once you get beyond the championship game and whatever automatic tie-ins there are, the BCS bowls are free to choose who they want as long as they are eligible. And they're going to choose the teams that will attract the most ticket sales, TV ratings, sponsorship money, etc. that they can.

And the bowls have been choosing who they wanted for close to a century. Anyone saying what happened to Boise is some sort of fucking conspiracy doesn't know shit about how the bowl system works.

Boise didn't automatically qualify, and frankly, is no more deserving of a Sugar Bowl spot than Va. Tech, K-State or Baylor. It's certainly not more deserving than TCU.

Not a conspiracy but showing how utterly corrupt the entire cesspool of a system it is.

Though Boise has proven a) it will fill seats and b) provide a quality game for your sponsor.

Funny, but this same corrupt system has provided MORE access to New Year's Day games for the Boises, TCUs, Utahs and Hawaiis of the world than the old system did.

People have a hard time grasping that little fact for some reason. Just because you beat Oklahoma is a bowl game six years ago doesn't mean you deserve to go every year.

Hell, Arkansas' only two losses are to the No. 1 and 2 teams in the country. They're certainly more deserving that fucking Boise but they're headed to the Cotton Bowl.

Don't forget Utah beat Pittsburgh. And Utah beating Alabama. In the sacred south, no less.

Interesting how this works - VT gets shithoused in its title game and ends up with a better game in a cooler city.

Yes, folks, the bowls are in business to make money. If you can take the teams you want, you are going to take the teams that will bring loads of fans. Fair? No - but life ain't fair.

I could give a shit where they go. My point is that the Boise water-carriers around here need to shut the fuck up about conspiracies.

Alabama edges out Oklahoma State .942 to .933.
