Well folks, in the last two weeks the T-sips barely beat a team that had won only six games (A&M) and a team with NO OFFENSE (Nebraska). But, we will have the misfortune of having them play in the BCS title game, though many would argue that both TCU or Cincy would wipe the floor with them.
So why is Texas (who to be fair, does have a very good team and is one of the top 4 teams this year) guaranteed a spot against Alabama in the BCS title game? Well...
Because the BCS wanted the winner of the Big 12 and the winner of SEC to play for the 2009/2010 BCS championship, plain and simple.
All year, all we heard fro the talking heads was who was better, the Big 12 or SEC? Texas and OU (some love for OSU) were the teams for the Big 12, Florida and Alabama from the SEC. Once OU lost their second game, they fell off the media map. Florida won with some "questionable" referee calls (causing suspension of the crew) while 'Bama had two scary moments with Tenn. and Auburn.
Wow, and isn't it ironic that the three top Heisman candidates play for either Texas, Florida or Alabama? Hell no it's not...
So no, neither TCU or Cincy will get the chance at 'Bama. The best that could happen is that both TCU and Boise State get a BCS bowl and win big over their AQ opponents.
But that will only make me feel good for a day or so, because the deck is stacked towards 4-6 teams every year. Guys, it's starting to make for boring college football. Before 2010 even starts, we already know that Texas, OU, USC, Ohio State, Florida, Alabama will be ranked in the top 10 (with Notre Dame somehow getting a top 25 ranking...geez), don't we? What a joke. It isn't as bad as pro wrestling, but i think you get my point...
That's the one thing pro football has right. It's a meritocracy. Any team can win it all, you just have to earn it!
