This system is the only thing keeping you in the picture. If it was the way it was before 1998 you guys wouldn't even be in the picture.

I love how these Boise State fans think they'd have any shot in hell for a BCS bowl if this system wasn't tiltled to hand a non-AQ team one spot. 
THE "BCS" Bowls are simply the 4 biggest bowls that without the BCS system would never take Boise State or TCU, and justifiably so. These bowls are there to make THEIR money, not satisfy schools that play a joke of a schedule and are equivalent to a JUCO academically.

one in the same, since the polls are part of the system

1.5
No such thing as .5 Championships. Miami, Nebraska, Michigan all have "split" titles from the 90's. If everyone says Miami has 4.5 titles and Tom Osborne 2.5, then we can say LSU has 1.5 this decade. Still 1.5 more than Boise will ever have.

distinction of being the only 2 loss champ
I'm will to bet there is no one, even Boise fans that would not rather be a 2 loss Champ to undefeated non Champs. A championship is for a given season, LSU was the best team in 2007, how many loses we had is immaterial.

yeah that's it, the man keeping the little guy down. Lets continue to ignore the fact there wouldn't be a Boise at all if not for the Big conferences building up interest in CFB.
The Bowls were designed as exhibitions. Is the big conferences feel that's better for them then why don't the WAC, MWC, CUSA etc just start a playoff on their own. Wonder if that's because they know they make way more money glomming off the big boys than a playoff with Boise and TCU would.

oh yeah the rules in place after 2004 help them out tremendously in terms of getting a BCS bowl bid

oh ok, because last time I checked they are ranked higher in the polls than in the bcs system. and no, they are not one and the same. ask USC.

irrelevant point. i'm discussing the BCS system and the polls used in that system, not other polls

in terms of the system in place, what else can outside forces do?
make computer polls eliminate SOS?

And as stated before. Prior to 2004 with the changes in the BCS requiring the bowls to take a non-AQ team, they wouldn't even been thought of in these bowls. PERIOD.
The only reason they are having a shot into a BCS bowl outside of the NC is because the BCS forces it. The bowls wouldn't take them if they had the option not to.

Wow, does someone honestly think pro sports have playoffs for a reason other than making more money? Or for that matter than things like the NCA tourney and Conference Champ Games are not designed to make more money?

Nope, it's because the WAC, MWC, CUSA, etc. are part of the FBS too, and therefore deserve to compete for the same championship as AQ conferences, like it or not.

the system for pitting teams in the title game has nothing to do with BCS schools or non-BCS schools
nothin

We are talking about the other BCS bowls not the NC game genius.
The only thing the BCS should be required to do is pit the #1 and #2 teams together.
Bowl Tie-ins and choices of the bowls without influence by stupid rankings should be what determines teams in the other BCS Bowls, but little whiny schools like Boise State act like they've been raped by the big bad boys.
Want a better bowl? Get your conference to have better tie-ins.
Want to be taken more seriously? Have a field that isn't a marketing gimmick.

The field is not a frigging marketing gimmick anymore, it's a school tradition. Get that through your head.
Posted on 11/21/10 at 2:37 pm to BeeEssYou
Keep telling yourself that. 
Posted on 11/21/10 at 2:38 pm to BeeEssYou
would you be in favor of BSU being required to wear their whites at home?
*ETA: or at least give the other team the option
