For all the BCS supporters that say the system is set up fairly, I’d like to point out what bowl undefeated Boise State is playing in this year: The San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl.
That’s right, the Broncos get the honor of playing in the honored tradition of the ole’ SDCCU Poinsettia Bowl against TCU on December 23 at who-gives-a-sh*t PM ET.
So let me see if I got this right. Boise State goes undefeated throughout the regular season, ranks in the top 10 of the BCS standings and what does that get them? The Poinsettia Bowl. Sweet.
The matchup is actually pretty good; the Horned Frogs have one of the fastest and most underrated defenses in college football and should match up well with the Broncos’ potent offense.
But the Poinsettia Bowl is the best college football can do for Boise State? I know they didn’t play anybody outside of Oregon and don’t have the tradition or fan-power as say Ohio State, who, by the way, got the at-large bid over Boise to play Texas in the Fiesta Bowl. But the Poinsettia Bowl on December 23rd? Weak!
