TCU and Boise State, both unbeaten, are going to BCS bowl games. Sounds fair, doesn’t it? The system must be working.
Well, it’s not so great when they have to play each other. It turns out that both teams are headed to the Fiesta Bowl. Now neither team has a chance to prove how they stack up against the major conferences. I don’t think Georgia Tech, Iowa, or Cincinnati could beat either of these two teams. But now we’ll never know.
This was a brilliant and disingenuous move on the part of the BCS. They can claim the system works because both TCU and Boise State got in while making sure that the supposed power conferences don’t get beaten by non-BCS schools. This game is a sham.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m still going to watch it and I think it will be a great game. But it is meaningless and proves nothing. These schools deserve better.
