Didn't we all suspect this once the Fiesta Bowl matchup was announced? Short of a true playoff, the next viable option would be for conferences to combine and have a conference championship like the Big 12 and SEC. Teams like Boise State, BYU, Utah, Louisville, TCU, etc. would join the Pac-10, Big 10 or Big East. Notre Dame is the wild card. This isn’t a surprise.

Teams like Boise the last few years and Utah last year do not deserve a shot at the NC under the current system. Yes, they can get up for one game (Utah-Bama 08) or Boise-Oklahoma 06 but you put those guys in say The SEC and they'd have to play faster more physical teams every week without ANY GIMMIES and they would lose 3 or 4 games every season no doubt!

I personally don't believe that any conference can hang with the SEC or Big 12, but that's just my opinion... asking the the BCS to quit it's current system is like asking my beloved Irish to give up their TV contract and join a conference... sadly, we will never know what the Boise's and TCU's are truely capable of until they get a tougher non-conference schedule and/or we move to a play off system... My personal top 10 to close the season 1) Alabama 2) Florida 3) Boise State 4) Texas 5) Iowa 6) Cincy 7) TCU 8) Ohio State 9) BYU 10)Central Michigan Gentlemen… sadly it is all about money… right now how the BCS is set up it pays to be a power house… I personally don’t believe that any conference can hang with the SEC or Big 12, but that’s just my opinion… asking the the BCS to quit it’s current system is like asking my beloved Irish to give up their TV contract and join a conference… sadly, we will never know what the Boise’s and TCU’s are truely capable of until they get a tougher non-conference schedule and/or we move to a play off system… My personal top 10 to close the season

But if someone has to be objective and vote on the final rankings (under our current crappy system), there's no way you rank Boise over Florida. Yes – upsets happen, and they deserve a shot.

How many people gave NCSU a shot against Houston in 1983? Or thought that George Mason would make a Final Four? There's a reason these things are actually played out rather than voted on in every sport that makes any sense. How many people gave Boise a chance against Oklahoma a couple years ago?

The only legitimate way to settle this stuff is on the field. That said, does anyone really think that Florida wouldn't beat the living crap out of Boise if they had a chance to play? Same with Alabama and probably Texas? Also, Craig James is an idiot for putting Boise so low. I think #4 is right for Boise. That said, I would bet that Ohio State and Iowa would both be favored to beat them if they were going to play today. We can all agree that the system is a joke.
