Epic Fail: OSU vs. UT

It began with a fraud and now will continue that fraud to this day. While you may be thinking of why Texas didn’t get the chance at the Big 12 title and thus not the national title, I am not. I still think we got hosed on that one and will very much think that when Oklahoma gets demolished by Florida as it has in the BCS the last two years. It is funny how close we actually came to a rematch of that game, which would have been wild. Anyhow, I am more upset with another BCS selection, and it goes to the core of how the BCS was created and how it is screwing other legitimate teams to this day. It started in the early 90’s with the Bowl Coalition, or whatever it was called when it the big, now so called BCS, conferences Norte Dame wanted a way to decide a national champion. They purposely put a rule in that excluded smaller conferences from competing in the title game. This was tweaked a few times in the case that the Rose Bowl was initially left out of this and it lead two a few splits in the final polls in the 90’s. However even with it, in 2003 Oklahoma got blasted by #2 LSU in the national title after LOSING the Big 12 title game, they still maintained their #1 seed and #3 USC got a the AP vote for #1, thus a BCS #1 and an AP#1 split. But the point is this, from the beginning of any tie-in with traditional bowls, the small schools have been screwed again and again. Never mind that BYU proved in 1984 a small, non BCS school could win a national title, and never mind that Oklahoma was upset by Boise State in 2006 in maybe the greatest college football game ever and finished undefeated and did not get a chance to play for a national title. This is the point of my argument, Boise State, while going undefeated for the 2nd time in 3 years will not get to show off what they got at a big school like Texas. Instead, Texas will play Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl, the site of the great Boise St. victory of Oklahoma. Where usually I am cautiously optimistic at a bowl game, or any big game for my teams really, I am not too concerned at all on this one, as I know Texas will just demolish Ohio State in this one. I mean, they got destroyed by USC and lost to a Penn State team that lost to Iowa, so I mean, come on, really? Texas won’t just crush OSU? I don’t even see this being close. Some are saying that if Texas wins convincingly

over Ohio State as the last two BCS National title games for OSU will indicate and if Florida just squeaks by Oklahoma, or possible even the other way around, we could have another split title with Texas getting the AP #1. But because of the big money involved for these BCS games and how the big conferences rule it, of course undefeated Boise State doesn’t get the chance. I am glad Utah did and they deserve it, but so does Boise State. Some thought Boise State didn’t deserve it two years ago and we saw how that ended up. I will just say this, I’d much rather lose to Boise State as a Texas fan than beat a horrible, undeserving Ohio State team. So thanks again BCS, not only did you screw my team, you screwed a small conference out of millions so you could continue to perpetuate the undeserved myth of the big conferences, ESPECIALLY the horrible Big 10.
