BCS = Blatant Corrupt System

First off, my computer rankings agree with Alabama vs Texas in the National Championship Game. I have very little argument against this game. My problem is with the Fiesta Bowl. The Fiesta Bowl should be ashamed of itself and I have to believe they were pressured by higher ups into matching up TCU vs Boise State. This game serves no purpose. The whole intrigue of a Non-AQ team playing in the BCS is to see how they would match up against the elite from the automatic qualify conferences. How great was it last year when Utah throttled Alabama or when Boise State shocked the world versus Oklahoma? Sadly, we won't be able to see if undefeated Boise State or TCU could keep the trend up. I guess the BCS decided it needed to protect the interests of the six BCS conferences as either of these teams would have given Cincinnati, Iowa, Georgia Tech, or Florida a run for their money. What the BCS did was basically invite the red-headed step children to the party and force them to sit at the kiddie table. This is an absolute joke in my mind.

My main issue stems from the Fiesta Bowl. I won't believe that they thought TCU was the best option to "anchor" their bowl game. The whole month leading up to yesterday we heard that they wanted a Big Ten school. That makes perfect sense because those teams are in cold-weather city and have huge alumni bases. The goal of these bowls is to make money. Iowa offered the Fiesta Bowl much more in this capacity than either TCU or Boise State. TCU is in Dallas and is a quick flight to Phoenix. Iowa is going to be freezing in January and people would be lining up to spend an entire week in the sun. Iowa has a much larger alumni base than TCU. Iowa was the team that should have been chosen using the criteria that the bowls have used the since the BCS started. In my opinion, the BCS stepped in and told the Fiesta Bowl (or paid-off) to select TCU. It was already a given that Boise State was going to be the last team standing and thus be Fiesta Bowl bound. The corruption has to stop and I can't wait until it does. Bring on a playoff!
