The BCS should be against the law.

[bsmooth]

They took the cowards way out and put TCU vs BSU because they were afraid of a BCS conference team would lose.

There is no way to do it right.  When you have 4 undefeated teams, choosing 2 is outright stupid.  Someone is going to get hosed.  The BCS totally sucks.

[YoFuggedaboutit]

If five unbeatens don't make the case for a playoff system, what will?

[Dave Gray]

And I don't mean figuratively.  I mean literally.  Teams like TCU and Boise St. are being robbed out of the opportunity to raise millions of dollars, not to mention tons of interest in their programs, tuition, notoriety, etc..  This screams of anti-trust.  In my eyes, it's flat out illegal and the BCS should get their pants sued off.  There's no reason that Alabama or Texas have any claim to the championship game over these other teams, other than we're pretty sure that they're better.  But with this kind of money on the line, that's just not good enough.  Anti-trust is a real thing, and it's apparent here.

Sue the BCS.  It's the old way to kill it.

[YoFuggedaboutit]

Apparently Congress is already working on that

[Tenshot13]

USF if one of the teams in the International Bowl, if you want to update your list. 

[Phishfan]

I actually think the Boise/TCU game is an attractive matchup.

[StL FinFan]

Are we really surprised by this?

[bsmooth]

Sure if you want to save the BCS's asses. These two teams should be squaring off against major BCS teams and not each other. Could you imagine the even bigger questions if these two teams played other teams and finished undefeated along with the winner of the NC game?

[Spider-Dan]

I agree with the OP.  It's incredibly corrupt to place TCU and Boise State against each other.  I'm stunned that they would be this bold about it.  (Although honestly, I'm not sure which would be worse; TCU vs. Boise State or TCU vs. Ga.Tech and Boise State vs. Iowa.)

Quite simply, it should have been Cincy (3) vs. TCU(4) and Florida(5) vs. Boise State(6).

Bama vs TCU

I don't think you understand my position. This will be a good game. I was hoping Texas went down so TCU got their shot, but it didn't happen. You are upset these guys are not playing traditional powers. I get it. But honestly these two teams make up a very good football game.

If Texas lost then Cincinnati was getting into the championship game. They passed TCU in the rankings.....

[Phishfan]

But at the time of the game I didn't know that.

there are too many bowl games.
