There will be blue
John Feinstein has significant beef with the BCS. Besides comparing it in the WaPo to, well, Operation Enduring Fiefdom, he calls the bowl system a “train wreck.” He’s even got a little some thing to say about my (new) hometown Broncos.
Let’s throw Boise State into that wrecked train too. The Broncos went 12-0 a couple years after proving their program could hang with the big boys when they beat Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl. They finished ahead of Ohio State in the BCS’s own rankings. But, because the rules say only one non-BCS team must be invited to a BCS bowl (if ranked in the top 12), sixth-ranked Utah will go to the Sugar Bowl while ninth-ranked Boise State gets to play in the Poinsettia Bowl on December 23. If you are looking for a non-major bowl to watch that game, with TCU as the Broncos opponent, is far more worthy of your attention than Cincinnati-Virginia Tech.
