I came across this page, and it is brilliant. Without doing any official political maneuvering, he can upset the entire BCS syndicate in one simple gesture. While terrorists are hiding bombs next to their junk, and the economy is making slow Lazarus like awakening, and wars and rumors of wars rumble throughout the Middle East, it would be the wrong time for the President or Congress to take on the BCS through legislative means. This would not be the first time that President Obama has lent his name and fame to collegiate sports. When he made out his bracket for the NCAA Basketball Tournament, it was carried live to homes all over and then rebroadcast on the major network evening news. As President, he doesn’t need to push for there to be call to action, but really by just inviting them to the White House for a meet and greet would a be sign that he is backing the change to the BCS.
The next question is should BSU be considered the National Champions? I would say, “no”. Should the be ranked number 4? No. They should be ranked at least number 3, if not number 2.
Alabama is the undisputed champion this season. The thing that separates Alabama and Boise is the schedule. Boise had no real key wins this season. Of course Boise is caught between a rock and a hard place. They play in the WAC, one of the weakest conferences, in division I. Their nonconference games are played against smaller and weaker schools. This is not because BSU has not attempted to play the bigger schools, its just that the bigger schools refuse to play BSU. The schools that belong to the Big Six want to pad their schedule with what they deem to be weak teams, or even teams from the division II. They look to get as many wins as possible so they pick the low hanging fruit, those smaller programs that are looking for the money the big schools offer and the national publicity, even if it is humiliating. Schools in the Big Six dont want to touch the likes of BSU, TCU, Utah and other big schools from the outside conferences. These schools are too tough, and they do nothing for the Big Six records.
Back to my point though about Alabama, its only right that they be the champions, they had to beat the likes of Florida, and other top tier teams of the SEC, as well as beat Texas. BSU’s only real big game came against TCU, where they didnt put the game away until late into it.
Next season though I think we will see BSU play for the championship. They have all but 2 starters returning next season. Their key wins will be against Oregon State, and VT, if they one of those they are gone from the BCS, and if they lose any conference game they will be playing a bowl game sometime before Christmas. Its that simple.
I would put my final rankings as such-Alabama, BSU, Florida, Texas.
